If anybody wants to hang out before the Chicago show with a Scotsman now resident in Chicago, send me a message. Just got a ticket - $45, not bad - and will be going by myself. Thanks.
Curious about something. Right now, you can still get tickets for Thursday's Chicago show in the orchestra pit right down the front for $87.50. Last time Moz played, or was supposed to play and didn't turn up, as he was often wont to do, you couldn't get a ticket for love nor money. I'm curious to know if his non-attendance at shows has negatively impacted on his ticket sales round the country. I'm not saying it's correct, and am not being derogatory. It's just an observation, and I'm curious as to your thoughts on it. Have other shows on this tour been well attended?
The Civic Opera House spelled his name wrong. Doubt he'd be impressed. Chuckling here.

The falling ticket prices meme has been a favorite of trolls for sometime, even when it has been readily debunked. That being said this time it does seem to be actually the case.
In the past when I have seen Morrissey, his shows have always (almost always?) been sold out. Even when he's cancelled on me they have usually been sold out shows and on the last two ill-fated tours he had mostly sold out shows. Even on the 2012/2013 tour where he kept canceling, than resuming and adding new dates the new dates tended to sell out very quickly. This time when I saw him in DC the show was not sold out and I don't know if he has sold out any of the dates on this tour.
So either he is playing bigger venues or sales are down from the last two tours. The only reason I could attribute to that would be cancellations as its not like there are has significant deterioration in performance (he's still in top shape) or dramatic change in set lists (he's still not a greatest hits artist).
