I cannot for the life of me, figure out why they charge so much for the upper levels in these arenas. Nobody wants to sit up there, but some casual fans would do it if the tickets were $20-30.

Seattle, Chicago and Dayton will fill up by showtime. Both MSG shows are pretty much already sold out.

Portland, Boise, SLC, Omaha and Minneapolis will probably have portions of the upper levels curtained off. I've seen this before, but a band like DMB should not have to do this. It doesn't have to be this way, but they're simply charging too much for these undesireable upper level tickets.

The Vancouver show will not even sell enough tickets to fill the floor and the lower bowl. Probably won't sell 5,000 tickets.
