I’m doing my Snoopy Happy Dance over here! Not only did we get a SoundScan leak of the BB200 (thanks Pam and jpfan for bringing them over!), but we got the first 9 dates of the S10 Idol Tour! WooHoo! 3 Sell-outs already and an average of 96% tickets sold. Over $4M in ticket revenue alone. Woo! and Hoo! It’s like Christmas came 6 months early for the number fans. Thanks AEG Live for taking back control of the tour and reporting stats. Thanks S10 Idols for selling enough tickets that 19 wants to report them!

Stats for Jordin, too.
