pony2112 Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Tickets are still available in the upper sections from ticketmaster, and there are nearly 600 available from secondary markets. 600 is a large amount to try and sell, for a small market in less than 2 weeks. Anyone able to tell how many tickets have been sold...and how many remain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaVillaSean Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 I was curious about Tulsa as well...about a week ago some floor seats popped up on ticketmaster way in the back. I don't know if 600 is a high number for secondary market availability with 10 days left....I guess we will see as the time gets closer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaressMySteel Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Stub Hub has 341 tickets for sale for the Tulsa concert, including about 150 floor tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Case Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Why does anyone actually care unless they need tickets? As long as I'm in, I couldn't care less if they sold 10 or 10,000 tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2112YYZ Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Why does anyone actually care unless they need tickets? As long as I'm in, I couldn't care less if they sold 10 or 10,000 tickets. Well, if they only sell 10 tickets then they won't be coming back if they tour again. Filling up an arena is a good sign that your city will support a big arena rock show whether it be Rush or someone else. This makes it more likely that bands will want to play that particular region if good crowds are drawn for concerts. Plus, a sold out crowd is always a nice thing to be a part of. I wouldn't worry about the attendance for Tulsa. It's the opening night of the tour and it more than likely will "sell out". There are probably a good amount of people who are waiting until the last minute for whatever reason. Those 600 tickets that are available will probably be sold by show time. Some people are probably waiting for the resale prices to go down and they can snag some good seats real cheap because the prices usually drop as the show draws nearer. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrightAntennae Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 San Jose sold out the first week.I can't imagine why opening night still (Tulsa) has tickets available. Now, if it was Garth Brooks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upstateNYfan Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 It's a secondary market that's a stronghold for country. It'll be a great show regardless. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pony2112 Posted April 29, 2015 Author Share Posted April 29, 2015 Just checked vividseats.....they still have over 600 tickets. With just over a week to go, there's no way, they will sell 600 tickets in a small market like Tulsa. Fans should be able to get a great deal on good seats, panic will be hitting the brokers soon! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephena Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 the people withpork belly contracts (tickets) are thinking, "Hey, we're losing all our moneyand Christmas is coming. "I won't be able to buy myson the GI Joe with the Kung Fu grip. "And my wife won't make love to mecos I ain't got no money." They're panicking, screaming, "Sell, sell." They don't want to lose all their money. They are panicking right now. I can feel it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoscootr Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 I'll be there enjoying the show. If this is their last big tour, doubt they will make it back to Tulsa again anyway. Think New York, LA, Vegas, Toronto would be a likely scenario and do a week of shows or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Na na na Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 We will see when the boxscores are released. Last time Rush played Tulsa was in 2010, back then they played for 7,110 - 10,027 & grossed $577,753 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upstateNYfan Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 This tour will be the biggest yet. Tulsa is a secondary market, so if they draw, say, 8500, they're doing really well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bordercollie Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 (edited) Last time in Tulsa, they had about 8 sections in the upper deck open. Hopefully, every available section will avoid being tarped off this time. Edited April 29, 2015 by bordercollie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaressMySteel Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 I've noticed that sometimes bands open tours in smaller markets. I remember Van Halen opening a tour in Shreveport, LA back in the 80's. Aerosmith kicked off their Get A Grip tour in Topeka, KS in 1993. I believe it's so the band can have a show to work the kinks out before playing some bigger cities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pony2112 Posted May 5, 2015 Author Share Posted May 5, 2015 Panic is setting in!!!! Brokers dumped a bunch of seats last night, there's not nearly as many tickets left this morning as last night.....and prices dropped a bit as well. If you really want a good seat for a cheap price...check out the Lincoln show......there are a TON of tickets left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda pricey, but surprised there are still seats that close to the stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GabesCavesOfIce Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Not sure why they picked Tulsa. Probably they needed an arena to camp out for a week for dress rehearsals. There are secondary markets they draw much bigger crowds at, check out Milwaukee... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only competition for the Tulsa arena was the rodeos and occasional monster truck show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 (edited) They could have come to my city to open the tour. Guaranteed they could have freely roamed the streets and no one would even know who they are. Edited May 5, 2015 by Lorraine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
