review of concert
*** Source: Kiss.de Web Site
Who was the top tour act this summer? It was
Jimmy Buffett. He sold 100% of tickets offered and
drew an average of 26,702 fans per show. That is about
2,000 more than PHISH, who had the second highest per
show average.
How did KISS do.... Not
so well. The averaged a shows that were only half full,
about 8,400 fans per show.
But with the glut of shows available, several more
experienced acts also had trouble moving tickets, including
Linkin Park, Nickelback, Jewel, Rush, Chicago and Earth
Wind & Fire.
"KISS may have rang that
farewell tour bell one too many times," says Billboard 's
Ray Waddell. "There were only two originals. And how
many times can you go to the well without offering
something new and different."
