[Slowhand] Re: A measure of success ... ?

[Justin Stygles]

I Just want to say that there is no rush for tickets sales here in New 
England.  Not all seats are sold for either boston show, though you can 
still pay $85, plus surcharges, to sit in section 308-312.  Other area 
agencies are starting at $115 for balcony and $175 for floor.  Funny, the 
stones sold out in pre sale, EC still open. yet IMO, after listening to 
several boots from both parties, EC is carrying on better.  At any rate, I 
still havent bought tickets for TD Banknorth as Mohegan Sun might be the 
better and cheaper attraction...

With all of this discussion about the ebb and
flow of Slowhand's career,
popularity and following from then until now,
maybe one measure would be  to
examine ticket sales on this tour. For those with
an interest in such
things, please note that many tickets remain
available at TM for both St.
Louis and Chicago. I have not explored other
venues. But, I do know that
these venue sales indicate, at best, a luke warm
reception.
=====================================================

Ticket sales are down across the board though. It will
still be interesting to see the reports in Pollstar
after the gigs happen. I'd like to see Clapton again
but I wont pay those kinds of prices for the
privelege.
