Any Hagar tour sell-outs?

**timmytripper** · 06.20.06, 12:31 AM

Have any of the Hagar dates been sell-outs, or even close? I know some of you guys know where to look for tour stats.

I believe the 6 club shows in Tahoe and the 2 in Bakersfield were sold out.

However since he is playing 15,000-20,000 seat ampitheaters I doubt they are selling out. Van Halen didn't sell 15,000 tickets too many times in 2004, so I doubt Sammy is doing it solo.

Shows in Birmingham and Atlanta were cancelled. I assume due to the lack of ticket sales.

I believe in Atlanta that was the case.

Birmingham was cancelled less than a week after the tickets went on sale. Birmingham was on Ticketmaster for a week or so, then it was cancelled. Even if sales were low, that wasn't enough time to tell. So I guess having 3 shows within a couple of hours of each other (Nashville, Atlanta & B-Ham) caused it to be cancelled. Atlanta is just a horrible place for concerts as I have been to several there and almost none of them sell out for hot artists, so Sammy didn't have much hope there.

I havent seen any actual numbers...but I was at West Palm and Tampa..on stage!...my est at the West Palm show was about 8000+ and Tampa was probably around 6500-7000. The crowds were rockin and had 95% of the pavilions(sp?) packed! Pretty good size crowds...seeing that most "older" acts seem to need to tour with another band to get decent/consistant crowds. If you havent seen a Sam show in awhile...you need to go!! it feels the way vh shows used to feel...just balls out rock and roll...they way its supposed to be...fun!!!! without all of the bs...just a bunch of friends havin one hell of a time and playin the music they love to play!!

The Houston show was pretty full.

That's pretty bad. I figured the numbers to be like that for a place with a capacity in the 15,000-20,000 range.

**RKVH5150** · 06.23.06, 01:25 PM

The big problem is there aren't many facilities that are in the 5,000-10,000 range. They are either in the 2,000-5,000 or the 15,000-20,000 range.

There are no mid sized arenas or ampitheaters in most cities. You either pack a small place or fill up half of a large place.

EVH FANATIC where do you get your data from? It's not that I don't trust you, but it just sounds like something that isn't that easy to get a hold of.

exactly how is that bad?? he gets close to 6000-9,000 everywhere he plays! be "real world" my friend...thats damn good for a SOLO "older act"!
Minus country music...how many "solo" acts can do that?...not more than a dozen or so. and if you are just talking about bands that have been doing it as long as Sam..its much fewer! why do you think its so popular to tour with multiple bands these days?

if you want to see shit numbers...wait till the DLR numbers come out! trust me...they will be very sad!

Grif..he is touring with Mike. And without Mike, that 6000 would be 1000. He is also selling tickets for $10.

Are you really this delusional?? Sam has been getting the same 6000-9000 on every tour! it may have been closer to 6 during some tours...but check the facts before you make dumb ass comments! and dont come back with the handful of shows on each tour that had 4,302 people.

and dont twist the "facts' to your liking...the $10 tickets are lawn moron! decent seats in the pavilion are $60-$75. maybe the ticket person you spoke too, was trained to weed out the morons and put them on the lawn!

btw-its about time bands start charging $10 for lawn...thats all its worth and very few fill the lawn anyway. most band are doing this now...at least in Fla.

....out of curiosity, how many people do you really think Mikey can pull in?? maybe a 1000? how many fans of any band care that much about the bass player...I do!..but unfortunately not enough care one way another. Check out the ad...Mikeys pic is the same size as the other members and its "billed" in fairly small type face. If Mikey was that big of a draw, it would be promoted much different!
