All upper decks were removed the other day and now just the lower bowl is open. Not a lot sold up top so it looks like they want to fill up the lower bowl before worrying about the upper deck. This looks to be the first Chicago show that isn't strong. All other first week sales at this venue were considerably stronger. Was it too soon of a return date? The first 6 rows in the green rectangles were never released (just like for the last show) so for now, I am not counting those. Those could be comps or maybe they'll open up later. Just like for the last show, I expect people to be in those seats and I'll add them back in if that is the case. Lots of questions on this one but there's still a few months to sell tickets so we'll see how things progress over the coming weeks with the holidays approaching and as I mentioned yesterday, both promotions expect fans to buy tickets for future shows as Christmas gift.
