2009 - 58 shows, 997,158 tickets sold (17,192 per show)
2010 - 57 shows, 1,052,312 tickets sold (18,461 per show)
2011 - Caravans
2012 - 41 shows, 757,629 tickets sold (18,478 per show)
2013 - 47 shows, 712,088 tickets sold (15,150 per show)
2014 - Through 22 shows, 397,255 tickets sold (18,057 per show)

A jump of roughly 3,000 tickets per show is more than a "slight boost" (just as the 3,000 ticket drop between 2012 and 2013 was a huge decline). A difference of a few hundred tickets per show is pretty much on par with what they were averaging between 2009 and 2012 (not including the Caravans). Interestingly enough, the post I copied these stats from was another response from me to you on the same topic.

And I'm not trying to single you out, but sales stats are inarguable facts.

but i was never arguing sales facts? all i said was the post-gazette reported it that way. bad reporting on their part i guess

i also said they MAY have seen a slight boost in sales this year with the elimination of some venues...i wasn't trying to potray every word of mine to be stone cold facts, just the way venues looked so far on tour

thanks for the numbers though
