Billy Joel is legendary, but he'll be lucky to get 30,000, upper deck will be empty. So... Kinda like a Jacksonville Jaguars home game? Do we have tarps?

The minute top 40 discovered him, his works became trite and lame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Just making a Jags jokes. You're right, he's legendary... But in BFLo... I agree, better served playing at Key Bank. Yet, I take he likes playing outside... Probably get another 10-20k people.

Surprised it's not Ed Sheeran or Taylor Swift though....... My wife's half sister out west was trying to go see him this summer and couldn't get tickets locally, closest spot she could get to see him was about 8-12 hours away in another province. She posted online about it and how she couldn't get a hotel cause they were all booked, so a radio DJ in the city where he was playing saw it and said she could stay at her place and go to the show where they also got upgraded seats from the radio station. Garth is in the second year of a three year stadium tour. He just announced a show in Detroit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was hoping for Garth Brooks (Billy Joel) but rumor has it there will be more than one show at NEF this year. Garth would sell out, Billy I'm guessing 35 to 40,000 perhaps more considering if it's a weekend show. I think he'll be lucky to get 20,000 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wagon127 Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 When U2 came to the stadium, ticket sales were so low, they just threw more and more free tickets to radio stations to fill the stadium. I on the other hand, just waited till the day of the show, and got tickets for $20. Not that I'm a big U2 fan, but I had enough of an interest to pay $20 to see them.

Just Jack Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Club seat holders could buy club seats today. Since being on sale at 10am, I still see a lot of seats available in the club sections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wondering if they are holding back seats for Thursdays pre sale groups and Friday when everyone can buy tickets. They have been promoting the show heavily in tv & radio. Has anyone seen any promotions in Rochester, Syracuse, Binghamton etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be interesting to see if any front floors are available on Friday. My ex brother in law was a manager ( Stevie Ray Vaughn, Cinderella & others) so I have a little knowledge of the ticket buying flow. He said WNY sells the first week than it drops off till the week of the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Info Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Roughly $160/ticket for cheap seats for a Billy Joel stadium show. Late boomers have lotsa bucks or there is a paucity of entertainment options in WNY...or both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait - if acts got a lot of money by coming to WNY, because there is a paucity of entertainment options, wouldn't they all come - so they can make a lot of money!

Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 (edited) ? Maybe he should dye his hair bright pink, And stick a safety pin through his cheeks, ? Then he’d really fit the ‘New Wave’ image, But he couldn’t sit down for weeks? Edited November 22, 2019 by Ridgewaycynic2013 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still shocking to me the demand to see Billy Joe in a stadium show. I would pay good $ to see him in a large club or arena but not a stadium.

Bad Things Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Billy Joel in a stadium? That sounds weird. I saw him way back in the 80's in the Rochester War Memorial. One of the best shows I've ever attended, but I wouldn't go see his show in a stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
