Way to go OKC, Houston and other cities...
Despite those numbers, early ticket sales are clearly not meeting projections. The plug was pulled on public on-sales for shows in Indianapolis (August 23), Oklahoma City (September 26), Memphis (September 27) and Houston (September 30) because of tepid pre-sales in a national promotion with Target stores.
Everything progressives do is aimed at weakening democracy, capitalism and the social and cultural institutions that support those things...... They are about subjugating people and being a ruling class.

Wow, this news is even more disturbing to the cause than it was when the FIRST thread about it was started yesterday.
Good thing we have the fallback plan of giving Christian movies PG ratings and continuing to make cheap, crappy indie films insulting the military...

What thread from yesterday? Nothing I saw had anything to do about their tour.
Plus, I was out sick yesterday...

soup coolers = lips
Yes it will.
Except, of course, for the fact that it's not the ENTIRE tour that's having these problems...just the, shall we say, rustic venues.

You mean the middle America venues, the fly-over country, the part of the country that doens't mean anything? We all know only the coasts are important?
For a country/blue-grass group, when middle America rejects you, then you got real problems...

Thanks, I stopped reading my own thread as it turned into something rather than a discussion about the Chunks...

A real hot-bed for entertainmentBut not all shows on this tour are below projections. "We're happy (with our on-sale) and comparatively seem to be ahead of most," says John Page, Global Spectrum COO/GM at Wachovia Center in Philadelphia, where the trio is booked for July 25. A second date was added for the Air Canada Center in Toronto, where the first show sold out in eight minutes. "Canada loves the Chicks," says ACC booking director Patti-Ann Tarlton.
After two shows in London, the North American tour was set to begin July 21 in Detroit. But with ticket sales below expectations, it is possible the route and capacities may be further reconfigured
Plus Canad loves 'em...so it aint all bad.
Slow sales for a Tuesday show coming in three and a half months? People really plan that far ahead? Jeez, I'm out of the mainstream.Oklahoma City (September 26)
/would never see Dixie Chicks
//especially at Ford Center where the sound is horrible.
///I said Chicks, not Chunks, because that would be rude.
////you're all hillbillies
A-ha! Thanks.

I think most agree they are loud mouth bitches.
Don't be so thin-skinned. Threadjacking is the chicken*hit way of dissent for some. You are making points, and the jackers don't like it.
I avoid them like I avoid all the hollywood/star types who feel the need to give me their political opinion on something. And their music sucks. I think. Course I've never listened to them, but I ain't much on chick singers.
I'm not so much hung up on that, it's just their whole Austi-tude I can't stand.[raise pitchfork] That'll learn 'em to express independent thought and disagree with Dubya [/lower pitchfork]
