Right, so in the two biggest markets in Canada, with a huge number of Americans coming, the promoters still put the Boss in the ACC and Bell Centre, each hold 18K.
Earlier, you said the Boss in Halifax would draw 30K Americans.
I am not saying the Boss won't draw from the US, but I am doubting he will draw a) 30K from the US, and b) 30K locally when in two cities with 3 million population he clearly drew 18K. Both those cities have indoor venues that seat double that, more, at the Big O and Rogers Centre...
You have yet to put forward an arguement that would sway me that somehow the Boss will sell over three times more tickets in this market, which is 1/10th ths size of those markets.
PS I will be going to this concert, but my fandom of Bruce doesn't change the math. I think this is a good concert, but realistically his first play here ever will do 16-25K, probably at the lower end.
