    Not surprised by this, there are tons of tickets left. I really wish I didn't pay $85 for mine!

    We paid $150 for Row O tix during the presale as seats forward of that were going for $300...now I see these same great seats in earlier rows going for $169 or such. I feel scammed. But still looking forward to the show. Brett, Karen and I will be in Row O Monday night. You?

    Am not really surprised this tour isn't selling very well!!!!! KC were never that big a deal in the States in the first place. Surprised they concentrated this 'comeback' in the USA. Like Eddie Jobson, I think Fripp has delusions of grandeur when it comes anticipating peoples interest when touring their touring their music!!!

    The venue was charging $300/$169/$150/$85 or was that a scalper site? The Albany venue sold their tickets at $36.75–$43.75. I know Boston is a bigger city but those prices are crazy, especially in comparison to The Egg's show!

    How many seats in the Boston theater? Albany had just under 1000.

    Philly is 150/75/55/35 and holds about 2500
    It does seem like some sections are sold out (I can't seem to buy with seat map unfortunately.)

    All 4 NYC shows are sold-out.

    I went to the box office to beat the surcharges and a pretty good seat for $55-- It's in the mezzanine, one row behind the $70 seats. (And its a nice cozy theater, I saw Neil Finn there).

    I really think this is more of a localized Boston issue. I lived there for awhile, and while I loved certain aspects of the city, in musical taste, they were not the best.

    And, remember, that this is the 2nd show that is being discounted. I think (although I'm not sure) the first show is pretty well sold.

    And, the shows elsewhere are selling very well, or have sold out.

    I think it's more to do with the fact that the NY metro area has 5x or more the population that the Boston metro area has. I think nowhere has good musical taste; we're just scattered in pockets all over the place.
