He would make a good car salesman, the stage set really isn't that impressive to warrant seeing it in stadiums as opposed to arenas lol
 
Guess I will going to Charlotte again. Nice that it's on a Saturday. Megadeth is a nice bonus. Not sure why they avoid Atlanta so much. It's a huge travel hub. Surprised this run is so short and there's no Florida date.

Not very many shows though :/ I’m hoping they’ll add more

I think this is strategic with the venue sizes they're aiming for. If they had an itinerary the size of The Future Past with these venue sizes they'd be losing money on several dates. Getting folks to travel to these is inconvenient for the attendees, but good for the promoter.

Yeah, this is exactly it. It's been proven recently that these short tours with very large venues will sell out. Booking Megadeth during their "farewell" year ensures that this will happen, too.

The US isn't Europe where people can easily travel out of state, that plan usually never works.
But they are all in and around big market areas so they likely are not hoping for larger out of state travel to boost sales.

Bruce: This whole tour has been such great fun. I really enjoy belting out all these great old songs, and the whole band are loving playing them too. Some of them we haven’t played in the US for over 20 years.

Rod: The scale and incredible visual aspects of this show deserve larger venues than the arenas we have generally played in the past. We particularly chose this time of year to go bigger outdoors but to give us darkness when we go on stage so you will see the best of the production. Fans certainly won’t be disappointed in the show or the 50th anniversary set list that is for sure. We particularly look forward to playing the huge shows in Montréal and the Alamodome in San Antonio, two of the biggest shows we have ever played in North America plus, of course, Louder Than Life – America’s biggest Rock Festival! Along with the stadium shows in Los Angeles, New Jersey and Hershey we have also chosen to play a few of the biggest amphitheaters as they always have a fantastic atmosphere and great visual sight lines. When it comes to Mexico we just love playing in this magnificent 65,000 capacity stadium which I’m not surprised was named as the best in the world earlier this year by live industry magazine, Pollstar.

^ummm, this is a bit exaggerated.

Just a bit? :lol:
 
I'm wondering if they decide to play some dates in Australia/Japan, 4 shows would be very likely: 2 in both countries, Saitama Arena in Japan would be a great opportunity, and two open-air fields in Australia.

judging by how this tour is shaping up, playing less shows and maximizing profits, they likely won't be looking at the same typical 7 arena dates in Australia, maybe 1 or 2 stadium exclusives with a couple in Asia?
 
It's just such an odd itinerary. 2/3rd's of the dates are on/near the East Coast, with the only "southern" date being in Texas. No Southwest. No West Coast except for Los Angeles. No Florida! No Vegas! Unless they're planning a second leg: it's weird.

I can't complain, we get a Chicago date and I'm very excited, but it is weird.

I thought they would have at least done the T-Mobile arena in Vegas being a popular spot to see shows these days. It does come across as a slapped together NA tour with not much thought put into it though.

There is a clear plan here. Less shows but hopefully bigger crowds. It also allows them to do a European leg.

There is room for extra shows in Toronto, New Jersey and Los Angeles. But I am not certain they will do extra shows in all three cities. The second LA show in 2024 was never announced. With LA being the only west coast show this time they are obviously banking on a quick sell out and a second show.

Did notice that, some of those 3 day gaps could mean extra shows. Especially around LA nothing 2 days before and 3 days after it.
Would be too ambitious expecting to sell BMO out twice, but they could add an arena date.
