I could think of a hundred other fuckers who should have gone instead of him!
He wasn't even on my list!" - -

6th Avenue I find it very hard to beleive they sold out ALL those tickets.
12-06-02 10:14 AM
jb Very suspect..remember they said they sold out 95% of all tickets here in the states..yet; each show had thousands of tickets left and they have refused to publish attendance figures b/c of poor sales..It's just the PR machine trying to increase demand.

telecaster Josh: Why do you keep saying "each show had thousands of tickets left" You know that is a lie and you keep saying it.

You are a lawyer, give me proof, make your case

Fiji Joe I don't know that each show had thousands of seats left...I do know that, as in the past, with some of the stadium shows that often there are many seats that go on sale just before the show...this has always been because of errors in the calculation of the size of the stage...Hell, I got tix to 89' arrowhead just minutes before the show, right by the stage for $33...it wasn't because they didn't sell out, they did...also, no one accounts for those tickets bought by brokers that ultimately lead to empty seats because of the extravagant prices they seek

I'll say it again...you're a clueless moron...each show DID NOT have thousands of tickets left....some shows (stadiums shows) had unsold tickets, not each--which implies ALL...all club/theater shows sold completely out....I'm sure nearly every arena show was close to 100% sold out....stadium shows probably ranged in the 80-90% range, which is great when you consider that nobody else can even play stadiums anymore....they are kicking ass...the album has been certified triple platinum and this tour will still be the biggest grossing in years....

Honky Tonk Man I dont think Josh the Floridian Orange Lawyer is a moran. Just likes winding people up. The Stones are loved over here and these ticket sales prooved it.

Pure Florida Orange Juice
