Just went to Ticketmaster and looked up 2 seats in Atlanta which is a week today.

Orchestra Seats (first section) still available. There is a huge section behind the Orchestra and then the entire lawn behind that.

Wow...that is pretty bad....

Froy may be right. The act is getting old and folks on shelling out hard earned dollars to see the same thing year after year....

Couple of points.

1. Sometimes the venue or artist releases seats to the public later in the process. I got 3rd row center the day of show to what was a sold out show when the curtain dropped. This was a 4,000 seat theater.

2. I searched two seats and got the last row of orchestra BB. This is second price tickets and top ticket is sold out. If you search the next level up you can find seats toward the front of that section.

3. Lots of people buy lawn seats for these types of show because they are cheaper and some prefer the freedom out there.

4. Yes is probably more of a draw as they have a new record coming out and have not been touring much in the last 5+ years.

5. Styx will continue to lose steam unless they go away for a while AND record some new material to bring themselves relevant again.

6. With the price of this show and the current tickets sold the revenue created by this show will be significant. Plus, Styx sells a larger amount of merch at shows and Yes will out sell them as Prog fans really buy merch.
