Ticket Sales - Realy that bad?
It doesn't matter where I go, everywhere I read almost no one is going to see Avril in concert?
Reviews done by fans have been great, what I saw on youtube was great... So why is no one going to see her?
Or is this all just a big lie? But if I see tickets for 9 dollars... I pay more to see some unknown local bands.
And going back, does anyone know it stuff like this was around when Avril was touring in 2005 and before?`
The whole show is bigger and everything but it seems to be everything but good, as far as I can see (talking about people interested to see it).
Does anyone have some infos about the whole topic?
Thanks!

according to Avril - the venues are sometimes HUGE , say 20,000 people can go to them, but there are only 10,000 tickets on sale. So it looks like she isnt filling the Venue , but she isn't intending to. I dunno i read that somewhere so i believe her- it makes sence
Funny that she apparently isnt selling tickets when her MOntreal concert was #10 in the most grossing concerts of the week!!
Hope this helps

Sorry, it's just what I read everywhere. Good if it is not true, but why is she playing that great arenas, if she's not able to fill them?

He or she was just asking. There's no need to respond so sarcastic.

Don't apologize, lol. I was sarcastic but I forgot that you are a new member, so sorry  . It is just annoying because we had diverse threads here with this theme. I hope you understand what I mean...
Anyway, I'm sorry if you missunderstood me. It wasn't my intension to be rude.

It's ok. I just wonder what this is all about.
If I take this 170.000 Avril was talking about, than up that point there have been around 7.000 people a concert. I remember her playing smaller venues in the past (for example in Germany, this is kinda normal for her, 4.000-7.000 in the past). So why is this a problem now? Maybe to high expectations?
I'm realy looking forward to see her in june, but there is so much negativity all around, that kinda sucks. And why the hell there is almost no male audience? I think Avril is doing well with the show, but there isn't much response to it. But maybe I'm just getting those things wrong. I dunno.

I think around 7 000 for a concert is very good.Probably that's a problem for many magazines writers because capacity most of them are 20 000.If Av had venues with capacity around 7 000 people they would be all sold out for sure
