North American 2010 Tour Official Statistics

[Erindal]

Thanks for posting these stats. I've been wondering how they did in Atlanta. Sold out!

[Dagreat1edgar]

Damnit where was bliss in NYC?? :/

[Killer Rabbit]

This is a neat thread!

 

Thanks for compiling all this.

[dead-duck]

Wow, so far it looks like I was at two of the smallest shows on the tour!

 

March 3, 2010

1st Mariner Arena

Baltimore, Md.

$385,887

8,462 / 8,462 (100%)

$53.50 / $33.50

Frank Productions

I don't think this could be true, the upper tier didn't look full to me I wonder if they fudged it somehow...

 

March 1, 2010

Patriot Center

Fairfax, Va.

$385,500

7,500 / 7,500 (100%)

$51

I.M.P.

This show, on the other hand, was packed

 

I'm not sure about the ticket price listed, though, the face value of the tickets was $55

 

</nitpick> (yeah, I know these aren't your numbers or anything, just pointing it out )

 

Omg they play such small venues in the USA! *JEALOUS!*

 

7.800 people that's amazing!

7500 at the Patriot Center - it was

 

Thinking back to the pics I've seen, I think it was the smallest venue overall - 1st mariner didn't have that many more people, but the stage fit in it. In VA they couldn't fit in the wings. Based on the pics I've seen from other gigs, I don't remember seeing any others on this leg where they had to cut the stage back....

[halo eighteen]

is this info from pollstar or is it just self-calculated estimates?

 

Billboard Boxscore is the source.

 

I don't think this could be true, the upper tier didn't look full to me I wonder if they fudged it somehow....

 

Yeah, I'm thinking just about every show's numbers have been fudged.. The venue at Baltimore has something like a 12,000+ capacity I think, but they say 8-thousandwhatever was sold out... That's why I hate that term.. sold out... cuz I would think just about everywhere could theoretically fit one or two more people in... and if entire sections were empty they could just say they weren't for sale so it's not part of the capacity... the numbers are impressive for what they are though! They've never pulled these kinds of numbers here nation-wide.

For the Cincinnati night of the Fall tour all tickets were sold at $48 don't know if you want to amend that. - apparently we aren't allowed to stand on the floor

They actually have them for $58 for the floor seats on Ticketmaster - we lucked out in the presale and got them for $48.

 

 

Sucks that there isn't any information for Toronto. I've been curious to see how well that show did!

 

Oh, and halo eighteen, you're awesome for putting all this together!

I know you're waiting for official stats and what not, but the article in Rolling Stone about Muse's performance at MSG said the show was SOLD OUT.

Nashville needs to step it up. It IS music city.

[RiverIsis]

Wow- some of those ticket prices are ridiculous

 

And the whole reason why my DH and I didn't go see AC/DC they can sing to empty seats for $100+ prices as far as I am concerned

Wasn't the venue nearly sold out?

 

Louisville's KFC Yum! arena is going to hold $17,000+ for end arena concerts. (FWIW I just like typing KFC Yum! because it just sounds like a comment more than a business )

[scorpiocheech]

Wasn't the venue nearly sold out?

 

I think for some of the shows they only sold tickets on the floor and lower bowl of the arenas and just had the top sections blocked off. So when you see a show was almost sold out and the seat total is like 7,000 or 8,000 that's probably the case. In reality they were nowhere near a real sell out like the Oakland show I went to. 18,805 baby!

The plus side is that I was able to get a GA ticket right before I hit the road as I needed an extra!

I guess. They had a whole top section blocked off. Oh, well....that means a more personal concert for me. I loved reading "Louisville' KFC Yum! arena". You are right about how it sounds!

[halo eighteen]

I know you're waiting for official stats and what not, but the article in Rolling Stone about Muse's performance at MSG said the show was SOLD OUT.

 

Thanks! Yeah, I'm just waiting on Billboard to post the official numbers. I'm thinking the promoter for MSG (or the venue itself, whoever handles it) prefers to do a bulk update, so the Muse numbers will probably get announced with dozens of other acts. It's just strange that what appears to be the show with the biggest turnout of the US tour so far is one of the few to not get reported.

[Deacon Blues]

it makes me so happy that Muse is as successful as they are. they deserve every penny of it.

 

when i think about it, the 60 or so bucks that it cost to see them is totally worth it...i think of it as paying matt 20, chris 20, and dom 20 for showing up, hehe...plus Morgan too which lowers it even more. wow...its a hell of bargain if you think of it that way.

 

must be an amazing feeling to get up on stage, play an amazing gig, and walk away singificantly richer afterward. jeez

Pillars, lasers, lighting/visuals, balloons, stage setup, crew and transportation costs do not come cheap however.

I think I recall reading a quote by Chris saying that they were prepared to not make any money on the North American tour because they wanted to bring the full stage show over. I, for one, thank them for that because I love the towers. (Hold your fire)

Yeah I remember seeing like 12 or 13 big rigs outside the venue preparing to load up after the show and I thought to myself that that was probably costing them a shitload of money!
