mike, why is there only 8 gigs for the so called european tour?

[Lugnasadh]

i wanna see the damnation tour as well!
you´ve just spent a lifetime in the us, come to a few gigs in europe and head to scandinavia. (ok, they really, really deserved it)
in beginning of 2004 you (or the label, doesn´t matter) wanna start touring in the US again? WTF?
shit, i´m pissed!
what is the reason that europe isn´t getting the damnation tour?
dammit.

 

[Sinistas]

yeah, and the band books the shows themselves

said who?

they would know why, better than me.

it´s just disappointing that it´s not the tour being expected, ya know?
i wanted to see the damnation tour bad.
i can´t see them coming back with it for another time.
oh well.

I was under the impression that The Agency were agents for them...

American tours = more $$. That's why.

Despite the logistics of the situation, the revenue earned would make more than enough to cover the trip and hiring fees.

why is an american tour more $$??
it costs way more to ship the stuff overseas.

in my opinion there is way more people to reach in europe.

it´s not really the point though.
we deserve a damnation tour as well.
hopefully there will be some more dates.
i just wanted to share my disappointment.

cheers

Europe gets enough metal shows as it is. Besides you're in Germany, the centre of Europe. With 8 shows, surely you'd be able to drive to another country?

well, you know, if i would have enough time and money i could even go to the US to see them. :Smug:

look, this is not only about me or the germans, you have to see the population here in europe. i´m probably not the only one seeing it this way! there is 80 million people only here in germany which is fitting several times into, lets say texas.
the US have about 260-270 million right?
the few gigs they are playing (so far i hope) are simply not enough.

also i´m not complaining about the regular opeth tour i´m missing, but the probably one and only damnation tour.

I'm stoked we're getting them again in Jan/Feb '04! Speaking of money, I honestly think that Opeth should be charging more for their shows. The L.A. show I saw with PT was $17 (shit, that was the price of 2 Jack & cokes at the House of Blues where they played!). And the DVD show is only 12 pounds?

I understand keeping ticket prices low for fans, but how about making the tour economically worthwhile so that more dates could be added? I honestly would pay $30, $50 or more to see one of the best shows on the planet, and I think most fans would also.

Can someone plz tell me where those 8 shows are and when? Thanks!
