Now that would be a dream come true for fans like me! Too bad it fell through for some reason.
I'm afraid the Eagles will just say "To hell with it" and not tour anymore rather than reduce prices because tickets aren't selling. That's assuming, of course, that they are unwilling or unable to continue doing the full Eagles shows that do still sell.

They can forget about getting a response.
What a shame so much is being made of this. I am sure the Eagles are not the only band to cancel shows, whether due to poor ticket sales or not. :-(
Re: Eagles Mentions in the Press
The 5/27/2010 issue of Rolling Stone magazine has a small article about ticket prices. One of the things they mention is the showes with the Eagles, Keith Urban and the Dixie Chicks being cancelled. I didn't really get a chance to read it that close but I THINK it said that they wanted a 3 million dollar guarantee:eyebrow:

Sorry, but that is just obscene....3 MILLION dollars.
Re: Eagles Mentions in the Press
Eagles are mentioned in this:

This excerpt from the above regarding ILAA packages is pretty funny:

Sounds like a lot of money to have access to a merchandise sales room with no lines. But the promise of "free" drinks guarantees a lot of boomers downing as much alcohol as possible to get their 900 dollars' worth, followed by them drowning out Don Henley as they sing "Hotel California" at the top of their lungs.
Re: Eagles Mentions in the Press
Not sure if I should have put this here or not but its an interesting bit... While it mentions Glenn and Irving by name, the part I was interested in referred to the Eagles in general. Sort of. Lol
The quote I am talking about towards the bottom. Looks like you shouldn't give up yet on an Australia tour Julie (assuming Irving can get his way) :D

Azoff said he often takes clients to games to do business. During the first game of the series, he said his goal was to convince Frey to go on tour in Australia.
Re: Eagles Mentions in the Press
Fp's gonna like Irving now! :lol:
Re: Eagles Mentions in the Press
The use of the word 'convince' I'm afraid does not fill me with optimism. Sorry.

There's power in Positive thinking ;)
