Liverpool tour: 27 seats left, 6 VIP seats - capacity of 2,350 seats

London Palladium tour on Saturday: 170 seats and 0 vip seats left - capacity of 2,286 (worth mentioning there are more seats over with a low ticket price than the expensive ones, so think this could be sold quickly)

Haven't counted the others, too many venues

I'd love Leona to go Back brunette. This was my favourite look for her. She looks so young and gorgeous
I personally love Brunette Leona the most too, I wish she'd stick with it, I love her look during this German performance back in 2011.

I don't like the way she is styled now, it's too ordinary, she used to be dressed like a superstar and that is gone now, but it's her choice and if she is comfortable that is all that matters really.

Yeah I really think, considering her situation and the ticket price, she's actually doing pretty good. And in no way they'll cancel the tour, it's pretty much packed in most of the venues. There's still interest in Leona and people are even willing to pay the tickets.
I agree, it's doing pretty well all things considered.

Adam Lambert is free in February and March. He would be a perfect guest.

He is currently doing a worldwide tour at relatively small venues. And has 4 dates in the UK in April.

I wouldn't complain.

yes it is true. when you go onto Ticketmaster and click the Liverpool date you can see a map of the venue that shows booked seats and seats available to purchase (they will be represented by blue dots and will show you the price).

I really hope this isn't the beginning of another year with no Leona in the public eye. She'll be touring, but I have a feeling she'll disappear off till maybe September next year to record.

She needs to be on some features between now and then to keep her out there, and us satisfied.

Ye, but I'm not sure if ticketmaster is the only one selling tickets but a large chunk of the highly prices tickets for the London dates have definitely been sold - when I went to book my ticket originally there were quite a lot of seats and VIP pakcages left on ticketmaster and I checked back and there's a lot that have been sold!

Hope her Christmas performance will mention the tour and she'll have a little bit more promo for the tour, maybe in the way of more paper/magazine articles/adverts about it.

From the 3 dates I've posted and the amount of seats sold, they could earn atleast £203,970 if all tickets were sold at $30.. So I didn't even calculate the more expensive prices or the VIP ($100+) prices

I don't know what the costs are, but pretty sure Leona and Island will earn a good amount from this tbh

How do I interpret this? Do you mean Ticketmaster bought, let's say 1,000 tickets so even though the seats are grey, they can be available on other ticket websites?

It depends who gets to sell the tickets, I suppose, and how they communicate with each other.

But this is what is available on the website at the Sage, Gateshead.

https://tickets.sagegateshead.com/bo...7?performance=

I just hope it isn't some kind of secondary market.

Which dates?

Where are you looking?

Secondary market with some ridiculous prices.

But if you go on Sage website and order seats, it says 23 seats left.. so if it's in reality more, why would they not display them?

Exactly. I don't buy concert tickets much, but when I've bought theatre tickets the audience seems to,correspond pretty much to the venues pattern of sales.

They also mention VIP seats on their home page, but don't seem to have any on sale.

Does anyone know how the information is collated between the venue and various suppliers?

Wikipedia says:

Ticket resale (also known as ticket scalping or ticket touting) is the act of reselling tickets for admission to events. Tickets are bought from licensed sellers and are then sold for a price determined by the individual or company in possession of the tickets. Tickets sold through secondary sources may be sold for less or more than their face value depending on demand, which tends to vary as the event date approaches. When the supply of tickets for a given event available through authorized ticket sellers is depleted, the event is considered "sold out",
So in fact we'll have to add up the secondary markets with ticketmaster

Because that sage and Ticketmaster are only two of however many sites selling tickets. So Ticketmaster may have 20 left via them, and Sage have 20 left via them - so 40 overall. Then add in whatever else is yet to sell from other ticket distributers it could be a lot more.

I see, thanks

But if those secondary markets bought a bunch of tickets to sell them at higher prices and not all of them are sold, does this mean Leona and team still get the money from the tickets they've bought to resell?

I can already imagine the bad press when it's only 50% full - even though maybe another 25% were sold to secondary markets. Just another way of the media/people spinning the "she's over" thing

Her real Taylor Swift sized world tour in 2017 when her new album smashes, will shut them up

I really hope she has a huge hit on her next album

Not massive amounts given the size of the venues.

But it does seem to fragment the sales a bit as all the outlets I have looked at seem to have only single seats left.

I don't think the secondary market is huge on this tour to be honest.

As long as the tour isn't selling like this one, then I'm fine
