Our stadium seats over 80,000, and we sell all of our tickets.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm not as surprised in going from playing 1,000 seats to 4,000 seats as I was from 100 to 500 seats.
Today, you're either very big or you're playing stadiums or you're not playing anymore. You're either popular where everybody will go to a 20,000 seat arena to see you or they won't go to see you at all.
I'd like to sell out worldwide stadium tours. That'd be something. Or to have sixty number ones on Billboard.
Actually, we've done 75 of these shows and every one of them has sold out. But then we buy all the tickets.
I headline concert halls for 20,000 people, but I still play smaller venues.
I used to watch Babe Ruth for 50 cents. Now, baseball tickets are $400!
Anytime you put your name on a ticket with nothing else attached to it, that's the true testament to where you are in your career - how many tickets are sold.
So we are pretty convinced we don't want to play huge stadiums unless we can play them well.
We don't have sports tickets, we don't have corporate jets. We don't have stadiums named after us.
It's not how many tickets can we sell, it's where do we want to play, not where should we play to make the most money. We don't really care about that.
