No, the truth is that they're not selling them at their high price points which is why it's become an effort of recouping through the mantra of "Thousands" of $85 Tickets - latest news!

Movies lost a bit of their magic when two Hollywood titans predicted that the film industry will soon collapse under its own greed and shortsightedness. Appearing on a University of Southern California panel, Steven Spielberg and George Lucas said they expected studios to bet the farm on fewer, bigger-budgeted films each year rather than a handful of tinier, quirkier titles.

flacnvinyl — I'm postulating. They played it safe? On balance? Not with their pricing model. Maybe more mindlessly.

So then, no righting the ship after they complete the current touring segment? Mick's comment about taking a break and then re-starting up in the fall was a bit before the real heat up over ticket prices, slow filling of seats.

Seems that they've blown it for this first segment having already committed to the pricing scheme initially rolled out, notwithstanding the "$85" attempted backpedaling. Might not an opportunity to recoup themselves, lie in switching from arena to stadium size venues after completion of this initial group of shows, for the balance of a comparable 6-segment last tour [2005-2007?]
