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.

Has any company been stupid enough to sign on as a tour sponsor?

If I'm not mistaken, TARGET is one of their sponsors....another reason not to shop there.

One thing you gotta say about classical music, nothing Richard Wagner or Peter Tchaikovsky ever wrote will ever set dogs to howling; the Dixie Chicks on the other hand.......

Why were the Dixie Chicks stupid enough to offer political commentary in the first place?

Michael Jordan once said "Republicans buy shoes too."

Michael Jordan is obviously more intelligent than the stewing hens. Some people you would expect to spew leftist BS, not a quasi bluegrass group. Their audience is the NASCAR audience. Well, it was at one time, lol!

Minneapolis-Bad

That's because a lot of us Twin Citians have much more important things to do August 18: St. Gerard's Corn Fest, for example.

How does a "Disaster" compare to a "Meltdown Disaster"?

The Liberal "media" can say all they want about #1 in sales and all that jazz but I'm not buying it. Native Americans used to love the Ditzy Chicks. I live in an area that is heavily populated with Native Americans. I shop at the same Walmart they do. I went to Walmart late in the evening on the 31st ("Indian payday"). Walmart really takes a beaten on those paydays and the shelves and racks are usuall empty in the evening. From what I saw, the Ditzy Chicks new CD just isn't moving. Since I can't believe the "media" anymore, I guess I'll have to rely on my lying eyes. If anyone is looking for a new Ditzy Chick CD, my Walmart has a load of them. I'm going to have to pass on their upcoming, "We Were Right, You Were Wrong 06" World Tour. Like all wacko Liberals, the Ditzy Chicks are losers.

Regarding the middle chicken. That one should be a little bit plumper and shorter, but the hair is right.

No local radio promotion for them, but the libs are buying tickets anyway. "What kind of music do these girls play,
anyway? Well, it doesn't matter. Air America told me to
go out and support them, so I'm buying tickets to their
concert..."

Righteous. Less socialist money, for Hillary.

Tells me the red states are still red and this is good news. The media hype about W's plunging numbers just might be that - hype.

I don't think W's numbers are that low. Just more manure courtesy of our fifth column. They'll lie about anything.

"And if the Talk Shows hadn't featured them it would have been even worse I think."

I'm not a CM fan, but I did see in the store the other day that TIME had them on the cover. The media is pushing their ignorant agenda hard but they know the truth. Those performers killed the goose that laid their golden eggs.

I'm betting ACTUAL PHYSICAL attendance will be low in these Northern Lib areas. Tickets may have been bought in support with no intentions of going. I cannot believe the Chicks music is that pop in Boston. I wouldn't put it past a wealthy lib to be fronting a bunch of tickets.

Good observation. I think you're on to something. What's Monsieur Kerry's PayPal account up to these days?
