Not in this lifetime tour boxscore-Pretty impresive

[TheBaconman]

It's called moderating. Trying to make you stop voluntarily so I don't have to stop you before the next leg of the tour.

I live in Rio.
Rio wont sell out, in fact it will be the venue that will sell less tickets in SA I guess.
Promoters are crazy here, offering 2 tickets for the price of 1, for several shows that will be held until the end of the year...such as Black Sabbath, Whitesnake and most recently Scorpions. Tickets for rock concerts in general are simply not selling well.

There`s a logical explanation for this... Olympics and general economic situation in Brazil. Tickets are indeed expensive. All in all...promoters made a huge mistake booking a stadium for a GNR concert in Rio...the most feasible option would be Apoteose venue with an approximate 35k attendance capacity.
Hope it sells better until november but I dont have high expectations...
Also, usually sales go better when there are no shows in Porto Alegre, Curitiba and Belo horizonte...people from these cities come to Rio to attend concerts.

Their last show in town was in a 15K capacity arena and there were several empty seats as I recall...

.this isn't the same band...Last US tour had 7000 tickets per show and NITL 50000...Big diferwnces,right

People were saying the same thing about the US leg of the tour, but when the time came and the shows started, the stadiums were as good as filled up.

I think we'll see the same for the upcoming shows... pretty much packed venues.

Billboard changed numbers and now number is 132  millions...Probablly they added Mexico and Vegas shows...
