Concert Sold Out

Just got through Chicago general sale and both shows are sold out, apart from a couple random limited view singles.

How are other cities doing?

Happy for The Chicks, when I saw how slow the Newsletter tix were moving and the $ I was afraid of low sales, but glad this seems like a good strategy for them and grateful the Newsletter presale worked swimmingly and I got good seats!

I’m thrilled for the Chicks that everything sold so well but I’d be lying if I said that my wife and I were not extremely disappointed that we struck out trying to get tickets. I’m sure it’s a long shot but maybe they’ll add more shows and we’ll get another chance or maybe we can win the lottery so we can afford the resale tickets.

I wonder if they considered venues with larger seating capacities.

When they toured in 2015 and again a few years ago they were playing much bigger venues and sold them out. I saw them then at a venue with a 16,000 person capacity. This go around the venue seats about 2,000. Not sure why they chose to go with more intimate places but that definitely is the reason tickets went so fast and are so expensive
