Vanity: Dixie Chicks tour ticket sales disaster in Red States
Ticketmaster.com ^ | 6/3/06 | self

Posted on 06/03/2006 11:05:58 AM PDT by jimbo123

This is my first vanity, so please indulge me.

Dixie Chicks tour tickets went on sale today to the public in many market and it's starting to look a disaster, especially in the Red States.

There were initial indications that internet pre-sale ticket sales were going badly last week, but this confirms the news.

A review of seat availabilities on Ticketmaster indicate first-day and pre-sale ticket sales for the portly traitors are:

Detroit-Bad

Pittsburgh-Disaster

Philadelphia-Bad

Boston-Almost Sold Out

Wash. DC.-Selling Well

Chicago-Selling Well

Minneapolis-Bad

Fargo-Meltdown Disaster

Glendale, AZ-Bad

Omaha-Disaster

Denver-Disaster

Dallas-Disaster

Nashville-Meltdown Disaster

Tampa-Meltdown Disaster

Sunrise, FL-Meltdown Disaster

Atlanta-Selling Okay

Tacoma-Disaster

More venues go on-sale in the next week. California will probably go well for the cows, but the rest of the U.S. seems to be saying that the Chicks will be playing to half-empty arenas.

There's prolly more than one way, but what I do is click on my name, which takes me to my home page, then I click on "In Forum", and on that page, in the upper right hand corner, it says "More...."

I click on that & it takes me to the page that tells me how many times I've posted.:)

I clicked "more" and I don't have success finding a category that shows how many times I've posted. I wonder if it's because I've never filled out my home page data? Perhaps you could be very specific and define what category, after "more" that you click on? Otherwise, maybe it means that I have to fill out my home page w/info about me first before it proceeds with this type of info?

Velly confused!

Hershey told the agent, NO THANK YOU. (Inside Info, and true).

You don't get more Heartland that that part of the USA. You know? If the DO bring in ringers to put butts in seats, they are going to HATE the music they make.

It's a perfect storm, I'd say.

You've GOT TO BE LYING!!!

doncha know that they've got the #1 album of ALL TIMES on BILLBOARDS... it's better than the White Album...better than the Abby Road....heck it's better than Thriller!...

I KNOW this 'cause the television and magazines say it's so. Even Larry King, VH-1, TIME Magazine and 60 Minutes...all the really "with it" music sources in the country (oops, don't want to say "country") in the nation, say that the Dixie Chix are the "bee's knees, daddy-o" , they are the "cat's pajamas"...

bwahahahahahaha...just wait till the local dems and other lib groups do "bulk" ticket purchases and giveaways....

Heck Target has ticket coupons with CD purchases, I think....

This is too funny.....

Maines went to Berklee.

I don't think it was U of C Berkley. I believe it is a Berkley College in New York state that she attended.

Yup. These gals will serve as a textbook example in business schools around the world on how to destroy your own career.

Although I was never a big fan I did like their music quite a bit, and still do (in theory). I did and do think Natalie Maines is a fine singer. (And I greatly respect her father, Lloyd Maines: a (steel) guitarist, performer, record producer, etc who's done wonderful things for Texas music, helped along many fine young artists, and helped both them and old pros make great recordings.)

Just the other day, though, I pulled out an old video tape of the Dixie Chicks on Austin City Limits. It was a fine show, but I just couldn't enjoy it.

I just can't watch, or listen to, The Fat One now without thinking about what an arrogant, ill mannered, airhead she is. The Chicks have just put up too many obstacles to enjoying their music, and most of them are utterly gratuitous obstacles. I don't care if Natalie doesn't like Bush. I don't even care (well, a little, but not all that much) if she expresses that view on a London stage. It wasn't that offense itself, but the rude and graceless follow on. If she'd said something like, "well, you know, I stand by my views, and my expression of them, but I understand that others see things differently, and appreciate that many think I crossed over a line" it woulda been fine by me. I coulda gone on enjoying their music. But instead they gotta keep getting in my face. They've become willing controversy whores, and the whole thing is just so blatantly stupid that everything about them offends me now.

Damn shame. I hear their latest album is pretty good musically.

Berklee College of Music, in Boston.

Can't remember what it was originally called, but I think the founder renamed it in the 1960s after his son, Lee,
while having some fun playing on UC Berkeley.

It boasts some pretty decent alumni. Even one of the South Park guys attended for a while before going back to CO.

Al Kooper teaches there, last I heard.

And Ghengis, I believe Chaka went there too.

Wait a minute. Dallas is in a red state but Tacoma is in a blue state.

Conclusion: Ain't nobody who likes the Dexy Midnight Chix (or whatever their stupid name is).

I knew it was one of the northeastern states. Thanks for the correction.

They're still so cocky, too, which really annoys me. I saw em on LKL tonight when I was channel surfing, and their unrepentant arrogance still comes through.

Hope to see their CDs in the bargain basement bin at Wal-Mart in the next couple of years. :^)

Plummeting sales tickets is the least they deserve.

This will not be reported by the liberal media so you've heard it hear first.

Thanks for the report - and you're right - we won't hear this from the MSM...

Maybe they can play at the local Peanut Festival. They need more people for the dunking machine.
