There are some big gaps between a lot of the first leg shows. Either they have had problems rescheduling some shows or they are deliberately leaving extra time off because of the illness in Edge's family.

Pearl · 01-23-2005, 06:28 PM

I'm both excited and disappointed. There's only one New York date. Yeah, there's the New Jersey shows and they're supposed to come back for a second leg, but still. They played more shows in NYC during the Elevation tour. There's something suspicious about that. Especially with all the admiration they have for the city.

Oh well, anyway. I'll try to get tickets for both the New York and New Jersey shows.

No, there's no way they'd only have 1 show at the garden...NEVER!

Axver · 01-23-2005, 06:37 PM

They'll add more dates in some cities when the first show sells out.

But wasn't the "official" rumor that there would be like 30 scheduled shows on the first leg. That's what they did for Elevation . . . I only count 16 shows here, and there are, as has been pointed out, huge gaps between shows. This seems odd.

MKWU2 · 01-23-2005, 06:48 PM

ya they usually just announce a date or two and then add a they sell out...im sure boston will have four shows

cmb737 · 01-23-2005, 07:05 PM

Notice no America West Arena in Phoenix

bravoland · 01-23-2005, 07:12 PM

uggh! . it's killing me.. i'd love to see the third leg tour dates now..as the closest show to me on the first leg is 10 hours to denver and it on a wed night!!

macphistofreak · 01-23-2005, 07:14 PM

They will be having a 3rd leg, right? The dates just haven't come out yet? I live in Vegas and they CAN NOT miss us! Come on, they get to go get drunk and gamble afterwards, what more could you want?

Pop Artist · 01-23-2005, 07:32 PM

I don't think there will be a second MSG show on the first leg - there is a WNBA game scheduled on the 22nd. Beats me though why the 17th and 18th are at Continental...MSG is wide open then and the day before too!

They'll have more shows than this for sure! Amsterdam Arena is sceduled for 3 shows (13, 15 and 16 July) and it only says one on the official list. They're just waiting how the tickets will be selling and announce more shows in several cities.

Vox02 · 01-23-2005, 07:36 PM

My predictions about new additions to the tour shedule:

-2nd in San Diego
-2nd in Anaheim
-2nd o 3rd in Los Angeles
-2nd o 3rd in San Jose
-2nd in Phoenix, Seattle, Vancouver and Denver <-- ¿?
-3rd y 4th in Chicago
-2nd in Philadephia?
-2nd in NY
-3rd y 4th in Boston?

Initial tickets put on sale: around 280,000

Tickets on sale with additions: around 525,000

Gross: aprox 47/50 mill $

They usually leave extra days in places like Chicago, NY, Boston and LA. They don't usually leave gaps like 6 days between Phoenix and Denver or 9 days between Vancouver and Chicago. They will certainly add more dates in some cities already scheduled but I'm not sure if they will add any more cities. I hope so but, if not, there's always the third leg.

Vox02 · 01-23-2005, 07:46 PM

Notice that de biggest stadium of that list is Camp Nou in BARCELONA

Capacity: 98,800, but for a concerts maybe 80,000/90,000
