    All I really can say is that I’m just hoping that considering the Toledo concert is Crystal’s hometown one, they won’t cancel that now later in the summer. I wouldn’t think they would, BUT if by some chance in the next couple weeks the whole rest of the tour would get axed (as a few people have said they wouldn’t be surprised to see)…

    I still can’t get over comments from some people though saying that “they don’t buy that the economy is the cause” or that “if it’s something someone really wants to go to, they’ll scrape together the money for it.” There ARE a lot of people out there who can’t just scrape together that money. Those of you going to concerts of any type obviously aren’t those sorts, but trust me, there are plenty of them out there. If I wasn’t living where I am now (at home again after getting a divorce a few years ago…and having lost MY OWN job a couple months ago mostly because business had dried up – I work as a chef), I would possibly be living out of a car or something at this point. I would still be just as interested in Crystal but I just wouldn’t have the money, and millions of others don’t either. $10 even is a luxury that someone who is unemployed or working part time trying to support a family can’t afford at all in many cases. And in much of the country, it’s NOT better than it was last summer. That’s what the media might lead you to believe, and maybe that’s the case on the East and West coasts where it seems that a lot of people only care about, but it’s not the case in much of the rest of the country. Unemployment only dropped because of temporary census jobs and because people who had been receiving it forever dropped off the rolls and aren’t counted any more. If you’ve still got a good job, maybe you’ve cut back on a few things, but consider yourself lucky. It’s not that great for a lot of people. As others have said, a good many acts are having a lot of trouble selling…whether or not the contestants this year were incredible, I don’t think the tour would have set records. And then on top of that, a lot of the media coverage (especially, I have to say, after Lee won) has been about how bad the season was overall. This season was different than the others, but not bad. I saw personality in most of the people really, and I also was interested in several of them each week to see what they’d do. What this season wasn’t, was full of OTT entertainers or huge outgoing personalities. That’s fine with me – I don’t need either. Plus, the idea’s getting old after 9 seasons now and after a lot of people thinking Adam should have won over Kris, and again a lot of people thinking Crystal should have won over Lee, a lot of people are more or less over Idol itself. Not to say they may not support individual artists that may come out of it, but I think the show is now headed totally down the tubes, and really not much of anything can save it. A few others have alluded to this tour as something of a perfect storm…and I agree.

    Or, to just say it again, as I think someone once said…”it’s the economy, stupid.” Not 100% that, but I still think it’s the biggest problem, and I think the actual performers themselves are only a small portion of the sum total of reasons why it’s going this way.

    Again, another good post mozart! I hadn’t thought about the Gulf coast states, but now the oil slicks are showing up in Florida and Texas. In some parts of the states, tourism is non-existent. For some, a ticket to a concert is a luxury item.

    What the Idols have put together is a GOOD concert; some performances stronger than others. I just feel so bad that this is happening to such a nice bunch of talented artists.

    What mozart said in her/his post is absolutely true.
    Another contributing factor could be that folks are content to just try and save their very hard-earned cash for when their particular favourite releases their record, so they can support them by purchasing a copy, and, if they are lucky enough, attend one of their concerts when it comes time for them to tour.

    wow, that is a really good comment Mozart, i feel like the same way. I really enjoy this season , a lot. And from i’ve heard, the concert its really great, and everyone is amazing live. You really made a good point with you comment and is good to hear that someone think that way.

    It’s the economy, stupid!

    Mozart, great post!

    When I go to a concert I really want to go to, usually the good tickets are sold old so I land up going to stubhub or something like that to get good floor tickets. There is no sense going to a concert and sitting somewhere in the nose bleed section. These better tickets usually go for $150+. I’ve paid that but usually I have to spring for another ticket to drag someone else to go with me. So I usually spend at least $300.00 or more. I was not invested in this season and I wouldn’t go to any concert, that is if it’s locally. A lot of fans will fly or drive out of town to these going to multiple shows but since this wasn’t a great season overall most A.I. fanatics would have probably gone to only one show. There’s hotel and food expenses added to that also. That’s a domino effect and hence these venues aren’t selling out. It’s not surprising to me at all that they have decided to cancel some of the later shows in late August and September. School is back in session and the tour has played itself out. Maybe with the fewer dates, they are hoping that some of the other venues would benefit from it. It hurts the contestants though but the promoters don’t care.
