A
banner ad offers tickets
for the March 5 Bob Seger show at Van Andel Arena in Grand Rapids, a
concert that should have sold out by now in Seger’s home state. In fact, for a
mere $263.35, you can see the creases on Bob’s face from seat G4 on the main floor.
Tickets
for the Grand Rapids show went on sale, with some mild radio spots on local FM
powerhouse WLAV, on January 19. There are a number of reasons for the weak
demand, one of which is pointed out at Segerfile.com:
"As for Seger's set list, there's no new album to
support, and they're calling it the Rock and Roll Never Forgets 2013 Tour (as
opposed to the 2011 Tour, which was called the 2011 Tour). So…a greatest hits
show, then?"
Seger is playing some big
corporate barns on the tour, bringing Kid Rock onto the bill in some
spots, including Minneapolis and Fargo, North Dakota. Again, neither of those
shows are sold out. It could be the plan is to bring Rock onto the bill where
sales are soft. But at this point, that seems to be everywhere, including the
Seger back yard of Michigan, where he may want to consider hitting smaller
venues. Or, gasp, lowering ticket prices.
