I’m trying out a trial balloon here. Since we are in the touring season and there is lots of talk about concert attendance, I thought we could try a weekly concert stats thread. In the past, we’ve only focused on the AI tour with the occasional stat appearing in the headlines or other numbers thread, but the chatter seems more intense this year. Feel free to post about concert tickets going on sale, pre-sales, sell-outs, etc.
The stats may not leak every week. The stats even available to leak depend on what the tour promoters chooses to report. They may report a tour date months later or not at all. There is no conspiracy to not report on any given Idol’s success or failure on the part of this blog. Disclaimer: Sometimes, I’m sleepy and miss a report or two (please post those that are missed. Thanks!). Again, it’s not because I hate your Idol. It’s because I’m human (despite the rumours).
Oh? And the date? Yes, it’s not July 3rd, but that’s the Billboard date. Please don’t link to the source of the leak because it makes it easier for lawyers to find them and give them cease and desist orders.
Stats after the jump.
