I came across these on usenet from some non-dave fans:
I'm not gonna take either side of the Sammy / Dave debate. I get a kick out of reading all of the debates in here. While reading the threads on how well the tickets for the new tour are selling, I decided to do my own search for all of the shows on Ticketmaster.
It's pretty simple for anyone to see that the tickets are not selling well at all. I gotta say I'm a bit surprised at exactly how poorly they are selling. If you do a search for 8 tickets to any of the shows listed you can easily get 8 tickets together in the lower bowl of most shows (with very few exceptions). Some of the shows you can still get 8 tickets together on the floor (Hershey Park). There is only 1 sold out show. That's Saturday in Vegas. There are 3 cities that have added 2nd shows, but these must have been pre-planned regardless of ticket sales, because there are tickets available at all of these shows just about anywhere you want to sit.
The first show in Greensboro is being sold at tickets.com. I typed in 8 tickets for that show and it came up with 8 together on the 1st level 2 sections out from the stage.
There's no doubt that this has to be considered a miserable failure. There's not even any debate. Go do the searches yourself.
And this one:
Yeah, no kidding. If you go to www.ticketmaster.com and you want 8
tickets on the floor at Hershey Park they'll put you in section D,
when you consider sections A,B,C (collectively front row and Heshey
Park) are mostly reserved for radio giveaways and friends of the band
this has to be hard for them to take in.
It's their fault, they are trying to cash in on this deal as if it
were a reunion with Roth and it isn't. I don't think you'll find
anyone (even hardcore Sammy fans) who would tell you the price of a
Hagar renion ticket should be as much as a Roth era reunion ticket,
but they are kiding themselfs into thinking this has the same
nostilgic value and it doesn't.
That's the first mistake, the other mistake is they are booking venues
a bit larger than their status demands, so yeah this isn't looking
good and by now the money people (people investing in this tour) know
it.
And this one:
Jack is right.. I can get 8 seats together in section 120 at Greensboro
Coliseum:
$775.50 for 8 seats.
And these are the non-Dave fans!
