Looks like VH shows are selling out!

[thefive]

I do not believe that the tickets sales are doing as good as some of you say.( Maybe I am wrong .)You believe because you heard it on the radio? I dont.

I am just waiting for the tour to kick off and see how much it is reported on MTV. (I do not watch mtv that much but will turn it on somewhat when the vhagar tour kicks off, hopefully I will be able to gloat). I will love to see Van Hagar fail.

I got five bucks on Ed croaking before the first encore of the fifth show.. WHO'LL TAKE MY MONEY???

[Panamark]

There would be something seriously wrong if Van Hagar doesnt have moderate success on this tour. They were a succesful 80's Pop band. However even the most ignorant of Van Hagar fans would have to
admit the original lineup would smash any kind of tour sales Spammy
will get.

Come on, the Dave/Sam tour was reasonably succesful, so you would have to accept that this tour will do at least as good.

I know for a fact that there will plenty of pissed fans that wont go. So they are not going to enjoy the maximum crowds they so easily could have attracted.

If Dave was in there would be international dates already locked in,
Plus a shitload more US dates. The current list of dates is pretty small
considering that this is meant to be some kind of earth shattering
reunion.

And I shit you not, I still havent heard one thing about this in the Australian media.

As for me personally, I dont give a fuck. They are thousands of miles away from me, and not likely to play anywhere near me. If they do come down under, we are ready to give them another reception like the Ga y Cherone debacle. I would rather save my money for the bands that care about its fans.

Not in Motown

Still plenty of seats for both shows in Detroit Rock City. Diamond dave would have had 2 sellouts by now.

I am not just saying this because I am a Dave fan. Even some media people said this and people in the music industry.
I still say that if the Original Van Halen Line up did a tour it would be the BIGGEST ROCK N ROLL REUNION TOUR ever. (totally kickin ass over KISS).

There is just something about Original Van Halen and Original van halen fans. It is a mystery. The fans just go crazy for the original line up.

BULLSHIT!

ONLY ONE SHOW OUT OF FIFTEEN HAS SOLD OUT AS OF 10:30 PM EASTERN TIME. MANY ARE NOT EVEN CLOSE AS THEY HAVE NOT EVEN REACHED THE UPPER BOWL IN ABOUT HALF THE SHOWS. THE ONLY SELL OUT SO FAR HAS BEEN THE SAT. SHOW IN VEGAS. THIS MUST BE A LITTLE DISAPPOINTING ESPECIALLY WITH THE 10 PRESALES THEY HAD. I THOUGHT THEY WOULD SELL ALOT QUICKER THAN THIS AS IT SEEMS EVERYBODY LOVES SAMMY. THEY WILL PROBABLY SELL BY THE SHOW DATE. WHEN YOU GIVE YOURSELF 3 MONTHS TO SELL U SHOULD GENERATE SOME INTEREST.
I HOPE SAMMY SHEDS HALF A TON BY THE TIME THE TOUR BEGINS SO THEY DON'T HAVE TO ROLL HIM OUT ON STAGE.
I CAN'T HELP BUT THINK THAT "DIAMOND DAVE" WOULD HAVE SOLD A FEW MORE TICKETS.
THE ONLY STAYING POWER VAN HALEN HAS IS THE MUSIC FROM THE DAVE ERA.
IT IS VERY RARE TO HEAR A SAM HALEN TUNE ON THE RADIO UNLESS YOU ARE LISTENING TO THE SOFT ROCK STATION.
THE ROTH ERA HAS AND WILL CONTINUE TO STAND THE TEST OF TIME.
THE PROOF IS IN THE ALBUM SALES; NOT EVEN CLOSE.
TAKE CARE DAVE WHEREVER YOU ARE.

Selling out shows to soccer moms and homos with purple sweatshirts and fag bags is really nothing to brag about anyway.

[Panamark]

It was the "Sellout tour" before one seat had even been purchased.

[thefive]

I heard there are a lot of Sammy fans that live in Las Vegas.
I have some friends there and they told me that they play Van Hagar out there.

I guess it is just like Gays living in San Fransico and West Hollywood, CA. There has to be some cities for some groups of people?
I don't know.

[Va Beach VH Fan]

OF COURSE they sold out in Jersey, or close to it, to add the 2nd show.....

Jesus H. Christ, the fookin' NY/NJ metropolitan area has 20 million people in it !!!!

I'm sure there are 40,000 sheep in it for 2 shows....

As I've said before, there are a few givens when it comes to their tour dates as it relates to attendance....

The first show in Greensboro, being the tour opener, should sell out or be close to it.....

Hagar strongholds, i.e. St. Louis (or maybe anywhere in Wisconsin :D ) will sell out....

The big cities will do the same....

The smaller markets is where they're gonna have plenty of empty seats....

I asked the question in another thread, but those of you who are saying that plenty of seats are available, where are you getting this information ???

I dare people to not talk about this reunion and we'll see how many posts you fucks have about DLR. You would have nothing to say because he is an absolute ZERO!! He has not been viable since 1991. Me Wise Magic is a disgrace (although I do like Can't Get this Stuff No More) face it he is never coming back to VH and he will be lucky to have a solo career after his last CD and lame tour.

Over and Out,
General Hina

ME WISE MAGIC is easily the best song VH has done since the classics on 1984. the stupidest move in rock history, bringback the original lead singer for 2 new songs and then get a different no name singer. total stupidity.

[Fairwrning]

fact is ,,,this tour is gonna sell out simply because it's the first time in 8-9 years Eddie Van Halen is actually gonna do a live gig!!!!
you dont actually think people are buying tickets because Sammy Hagar is back in the band??!!BBUUWWHHAAAAA!!

[vh1978-1984]

yes, the shows seem to be selling well but when you think about it that is to be expected. for some reason i don't understand why hagar has a huge underground following, people that go to all his shows but are probably too embarressed to admit they are a hagar fan. the funny thing is, this tour is getting no major media coverage, can you imagine how much coverage a van halen roth reunion tour would have, with not only the rock press but with national press as well. this tour will be a success but to the mainstream press hagar is a nobody and roth is who they would want to talk to. then again eddie has always been jealous of roth so maybe he is happier this way. news to eddie, you will never make the rock n roll hall of fame until you get the exposure of a roth reunion. eddie and the boys may be richer than roth but deep down they will always be jealous of roth because deep inside there little greedy hearts before they go to bed each night they have to realize without roth none of there success would have ever happened. that is a fact and we all know it.
