    THe Cold Hard Facts:

    This was just posted on Billboard.com under this week's boxscore. VH Earned $1.5 million for both Philly shows, 1 sellout.

    http://www.billboard.com/bb/charts/boxscore.jsp

    Van Halen Wachovia Center
    Philadelphia, Pa.
    June 16-17, 2004
    $1,552,971
    21,385 /
    26,684
    2 /
    1
    $97, $67, $35
    Clear Channel Entertainment


    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.....

    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?

    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...

    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.

    I dont mean to put VH down, they are my all time favorite band.

    It's like hearing ALIVE 1 for the first time. Wish they didn't wear Peter and Ace's makeup though.

    Alive 1 is the best to me!
    I think it is a good idea that the new guys kept the original makeups!
    Other wise they would look like a degenerated band.
    Its like clasic VH, we were used to see those fucking good looking guys and then what happened? Roth leaves and They bring fucking Sambo to the band. What a ficking TURN OFF!

    LSD, as a fellow fan of both eras, I can sympathize that you want to get your point across about ticket sales...However, it's not going to prove anything and you most certainly won't get a personal thank you from the band for the back up.

    Things never change with these older bands. They never seem to get over their old problems. What sucks is that they can't work it out to please us the fans. I mean really leave the personal shit atr the stage door. Get on that damn stage give us what we want.

    Because unfortunately some people like bashing the king of front singers in his own soil. Ant that is no good!
    I guess some people have this evil pleasure of pissing off others.
    If somebody prefers Smabo over Dave, then he's gotta go and there would be peace here.
    But fighting sometimes spices up this site a bit. There are some smarts arguments going on here sometimes.
