Vhagar OFFICIAL ATTENDANCE FROM PORTLAND

[Thetruthbaby]

Well the "huge" Vhagar tour rolled into Portland Oregon recently. The attendance listed in Billboard Magazine was only 8,007. There were over 13,000 tickets available. The gross for the show was slightly more than $500,000 so yet ANOTHER promoter was reamed in this affair assuming they got their $750,000 guarantee to do the show. All of the hagar lovers are really starting to make fools of themselves beyond what I thought was possible. I still see some of these morons trying to claim this tour is doing great business. Nothing could be further from the truth. A very significant number of shows have fallen by the wayside and many promoters are losing a fortune doing business with VHagar. I hope they do another album and tour. It will be worse than this fiasco. And promoters will remember the beating they took financially this year. Trust me.

CCC and Warner Brothers, for starters, are not interested.

Thanks for the info mate!

Another massive no show for Van Hagar.

I also read elsewhere that only 8,600 bothered to turn up at their recent gig in Montreal. According to the venue's website, it holds 14,000 for concerts!

Looks like the final leg of this tour is not doing the kind of business CCC had gambled on.

Good for them. Try a reunion with DLR and every place would be soldout for sure. Ditch Sammy Hagar and have a real show.

Where does this $750,000 per show figure come from? Seems a bit steep to me.

Out of the promoters pocket if the show doesn't cover it which most shows aren't.

That's why nobody will touch another tour from these losers.

I understand that, but my question is how does anyone know what VH"s fee is for a concert and where did the $750g's figure come from?
