Report: Secondary Ticket Sales For AEROSMITH Are Showing Signs Of A Decline

September 7, 2010

According to TicketNews.com, there has been a downturn in interest in AEROSMITH's "Cocked, Locked, Ready To Rock Tour", which is scheduled to end Thursday, September 16, in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

A major New England-based broker, who requested anonymity, said that AEROSMITH ticket sales were trending downward on the secondary market. He told TicketNews.com that sales for the band on the secondary market were down 25 percent for well over a month. On the primary market as of today, September 7, tickets were available on Ticketmaster.com for the five remaining dates on the tour, including premium seats.

"I think people have become jaded with farewell tours, to begin with," eSeats.com owner Bob Bernstein told TicketNews.com. "I don't know if people either don't buy into it or they're skeptical, but I've definitely seen a downturn in interest in this last tour."

He added, "I've had surprisingly little demand, and over the years, we've done tons of AEROSMITH. I don't know if people are skeptical after what happened with their last tour [in 2009, during which band members suffered several injuries and illnesses before the tour was finally shortened after lead singer Steven Tyler fell off a stage in South Dakota], but I've seen a considerable drop-off in interest for AEROSMITH tickets. We would sell several tickets a day to AEROSMITH, but with this tour, it was not something that has been on our radar at all the last few months."
