It depends upon the state.

A promoter in North Dakota had to pay VH a ton of money to go there, and only sold about 5,000 seats.

Yet here in Massachusetts, they sold out each night they were here. And sold out Connecticut and Rhode Island too.

So that's really a 1/2 truth there. Some places, like North Dakota, they cannot sell enough tickets to justify going there. Other places, like New England, they can. The promoters made a shitload of money here.

Look, VH with Roth is my favorite band. I was just pointing out the facts.

I now realize that it isn't cool to do that here, just to bash McHagar as ruining VH. blah blah blah

Lesson learned.

As for the sell outs, this was a season wide open for any major rock act to OWN! Van Hagar certainly did not do that. Look at the other top ten acts, what else was there. Metallica? (VH's only real direct competition.) Prince? Bette Midler (not to be confused with Sammy)? Very little in the way of competition as far as the rock fan entertainment dollar went, so a lot of fans showed up that otherwise simply would not have been there if other major classic rock acts had done a 'retread of the hits' tour. I read a few descriptions of the venues by both Hagar supporters and CVH fans, and I always get the impression that a lot of the people in attendance probably knew little about VH in general.

Most of the bitterness here is actually directed towards the Van Halen, lying Dutchwomen, sisters. They could have had a much higher grossing tour with Dave, and we all know it. Sammy is a fool, but he is also another victim of their bullshit as well. Any way you spin it, this tour performed way below all expectations.

In other words, EVERYBODY PREFERS DAVE! Clear enough for you?

I'm just posting that a lot of fans saw the show and that the band made a lot of fucking money.

Another promoter might look at the $54.3 million dollar gross and know how to manage it better, like not booking a large show in North Dakota for starters. They sold out 5 shows in the Boston area, so there is money to be made.

The promoters for the Worcester Centrum in MA made a lot of money, so I'm sure they will book them again. Same with Connecticut and Rhode Island.

You guys are fucking bitches!

How delicious for a cunt to examine others's bank accounts!

Anyway, everybody knows about sheeps's shaking disease. The little son of an ewe has already been slaughtered by now.
