Crazy prices to see Bon Jovi, i mean i know they'd be great to see live but come on, ?1300 is ridiculous, no matter who it is you want to see.

And Bon Jovi still sold out...recession? what recession?

Sorry Miami fans, her facebook was updated with this:

"UTADA RETURNS TO THE U.S. FOR 8-CITY CROSS-COUNTRY TOUR IN SUPPORT OF HER LATEST ISLAND ALBUM, THIS IS THE ONE"

here: http://www.facebook.com/notes/utada/utada-returns-to-the-us-for-tour-news/180614024865

So I guess that means no other cities?

Aww. I wonder why it went from 10 to 8. They must have had some trouble securing venues or something. I mean, I suppose it's still possible that two more cities will be called and this is just an update on what's happening so far, but that seems pretty much like a closed-book deal. Maybe Rizzo was mistaken about the number of tour dates or was fed some information that was accurate then but failed to hold up.

This really sucks for Florida fans. I still don't see how she couldn't go to Miami since it was one of her stops during the in-store events. It really doesn't make any sense. Then again, most things IDJ/Utada related don't. :|

My guess it would be an issue with getting a venue, i dont see any other reason why she wouldn't go to Florida at all, and why it would change from 10 to 8.

Oh, wow, yeah. The House of Blues Orlando is totally booked. Maybe LiveNation doesn't hold any other venues in Florida. How laaaaaame~.

Except...wait. Most of its January/February slots are taken up by Gospel brunches in the morning. WTF. O.o

that is so sad! i feel bad for the fans in florida. i think she should go back there one day to perform when the tour is over, that way the floridian fans can have a taste of what its like to see her live.

I've been doing a bit of thinking.

+ Dirty Desire is slated to be released sometime in January.
+ Utada's tour begins January 15th.
+ Hawaii, London, and New York are already sold out.

So, projecting that the other places will sell out before Dirty Desire even gets radio exposure, how are they going to effectively advertise the tour to new fans when everywhere is going to be sold out?

Or was this apart of IDJ/Utada's plan? Make a concert that her current fans know about and will get tickets for, monitor sales, and determine further promotion strategies?

Just some brainstorming. I'm really curious as to why they're releasing Dirty Desire just before she goes on tour. Why wouldn't they want to build up hype?

hey does anyone know which of her shows have sold out?

i know Honolulu and London have sold out

But i think San Fransisco, Boston and New York have also sold out. Can someone double check that?

I can confirm new york is sold out as well.

Yeah, I think they were gauging the ticket sales before they started promoting. Im sure theyll promote dirty desire, but theres raelly no reason to spend money promoting a tour if its already sold out...
some areas might be slower to sell out then others. Like LA will sell out in no time, if it hasnt already. lol
