Now go and compare these #'s to every other act on the road this summer. They are selling more than Aerosmith, Kiss, and every other hard rocking band.

Lets hear the bullshit.....

[Panamark]

before or after costs ? (No Bullshit, just a question)
And what of the other shows ??

[EmpyreLounge44]

thats the only one listed, although im sure more shows will make it there as the tour goes on...only updated weekly so a whole week to argue about these numbers

[L.S.D.]

dont worry, when there is more, youll see em. Cant argue with the facts. Just follow the link, they are on average selling 5,000 more a night than Kiss or Aeroshit.

Just imagine if Van Halen toured with their real singer, David Lee Roth. Then they might have sold out some shows without having to give away a bunch of tickets. (Like they did on the 3 tour.)

the 3 figures are really bad, they are at the links if you care to see them.

Kiss and Aerosmith are washed out acts right now! Van Shirellas haven't been around for a long time. It is not fare to compare them with those bands. And once this tour is over what?

[VANHALEN2004]

Gee that was 21,385 free tickets paid for by clear channel.NOT

Apparently you haven't been to the new KISS concert. Those guys sound fucking awesome with the new guys.

[Panamark]

Its cool that we are privy to the real balance sheets. LSD you do realize that Van Halen profit even if only one person attends ?
That was their deal..

The real interest is whether the promoters make money, not Van Halen. As this will be an indication of how many actually paid face value for the tix... Van Halen will profit, dont wory about that. Its alrady written in stone. Lets see if their promoters do the same...

please........I suppiose the dlr cover band sounds better than the real band huh?

[Panamark]

Kiss sounded like a band when I heard them last live, original lineup except for ACE. They have been touring solid since cherone left VH. Im not surprised they wouldnt be selling as many tickets as the exciting "new reunion" (Which is selling shit) Sorry LSD, its true.
Yes Van Halen proift, even if nobody is there.
