Comments on: Concert Stats – Sept 8, 10, 11 and 13 http://www.mjsbigblog.com/concert-stats-sept-8-10-11-and-13.htm American Idol - I Love This Cheesy Show Fri, 10 Feb 2012 06:45:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Kirsten http://www.mjsbigblog.com/concert-stats-sept-8-10-11-and-13.htm/comment-page-1/#comment-152406 Kirsten Sat, 27 Sep 2008 00:52:10 +0000 http://mjsbigblog.com/concert-stats-sept-8-10-11-and-13.htm#comment-152406 <blockquote>evansville was low on 911. sorry but no matter how many years that pass from that horrific event, i donà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t think concerts are where people will want to be on that day.</blockquote> That's quite possible. There are a lot of factors that go into whether or not people buy tickets. The only other Sept 11 Idol concert date I could find was from Season 3. Manchester, NH sold 79% of their tickets in 2004. That's a very good result for that year (with lows of 27% to highs of 82% if you don't count the three sold out shows in Hawaii). But is it a good result for Manchester? Last year, they sold 85.7% of the tickets and it has also sold out 4 Idol concerts throughout the years. Who knows?

OKC is just a little over an hour from Tulsa. I wanted to mention that there was a show in Oklahoma City granted it was awhile before the Tulsa show, but the Tulsa show still sold out.

Low percentages at smaller venues-- wonder if the Idols noticed they were only performing to ~4000-5000 those two nights when they're used to much larger audiences. And if Evansville's got such a bad track record, I wonder why 19 hasn't wisened up and skipped that venue, especially if they were hitting Indiana two (plus?) other times already? There were major markets being skipped, and they hit Indiana multiple times? Maybe it's just really cheap to play at those venues? Wow, those numbers are really low for the two Indiana shows.

I like data. And HOORAY that the Tulsa Cook Love Fest was a SELLOUT! I was there...still high from it, I think. I'm kinda surprised that neither one of the KC, MO shows was a sellout. But OK. I was at one of those also! Still high from it, I think. Oh and hell yeah Texas needs more shows! More David Cook Tour, I suppose, at this point. Dallas, Houston, San Antonio would be good. Oh I was at the Dallas show too! Still high from it, I think. Wait, maybe it's Light On causing the euphoric feelings. Maybe it's the Tulsa Heartthrob himself. Gawd I'm such a fangirl. Well I. just. love. Cook. So thanks again for the stats! Forwarding to my sister, who was also very interested to see how it went. Wow thanks for the data, you guys! I like data.

This seems like really stupid 'planning' on 19E's part. Plus, there was a show in Indianapolis in late July, wasn’t there? This seems like really stupid ‘planning’ on 19E’s part.
