The broward (aka miami) concert was not sold out. On saturday evening if you wanted you could STILL buy tickets for the sunday concert. Concerts that are not sold out are unlikely to be sold out. I have not seen any information about the selling of concert memorabilia. This must be because its not selling. Check the just ending Dixie Chicks eBay auctions. Before the controversy, most of the really great tickets were getting anywhere from $750-1500/pair, and even crappy ones were getting $400-500. Now only the VERY BEST tickets, like in the first couple of rows, can pull down a couple hundred bucks, and most are going for less than face value or not getting a single bid at all.
There simply is no better proof that the Chicks have lost and the author of this article is a bald-faced liar. If those tickets were refundable, or Fatalie had barfed her hate before the tickets went on sale, they'd be playing to 1/4-full stadiums.
And they WILL be next time.

In Chicago we are Hopefully putting in the final confirmations for the Dixie Chicks Counter Concert. On May 30th at the Sundance Saloon in Mundelien Ill.
Again The Marshall Tucker Band has offered to do a military Benefit-Counter Concert as they did in Carolina.
To me what ist is really about is people standing up and doing what is right. Also to me what makes it a COUNTER concert is people who have been blessed with finances, talent, etc etc use their gifts to be a blessing to others. Like what the Artists, Club Owners, Talk show hosts are doing at this and other events.
This counters what Maines did. Using her Platform to tear down the President who probably has one of the toughest jobs that no one here would want.
It is about standing up for what we believe is right..I do not care how many tickets they sell or cd's they sold.
