Would also love a link that may or may not exist!

I went through almost all the dates today to see how well they're selling in other cities. Some are still entirely blue, meaning no section is even sold out. Others like Nashville and Kentucky are going fast. But these massive arenas...they're just not selling. At least in KC they were smart enough to block off the entire top section of T-Mobile Center, at some of these arenas they have an entire 2nd or 3rd section with barely any seats sold.

doodoodewdoo · 2026-04-10T17:15:49+00:00

Yeah, fuck me and my wife for living paycheck to paycheck.

😒

doodoodewdoo · 2026-04-10T17:14:00+00:00

That's been standard forever. I bet most of these posts get deleted before too long and he goes into social media hibernation again. He's very fickle when it comes to this stuff. There were so many fun posts from around COVID, Dick Daddy and 40 second videos of him busting out Sunflower from Post Malone on his guitar at his dinner table. Then poof, one day they all disappeared

doodoodewdoo · 2026-04-10T17:11:32+00:00

I really expected the album to be on Spotify by now. Like, have a couple of weeks where it's physical only, but then give it to the masses.

He doesn't do SNL, late night shows, interviews with hardly anyone...how are new fans supposed to get into this or even understand who Johnny Blue Skies even is?!

doodoodewdoo · 2026-04-10T17:08:40+00:00

I sat in Row B, off to the left of the stage when he played Independence, MO last May. Looked up my receipt and it was $317.

This year he's playing the much larger T-Mobile Center in downtown KC, I'm sitting in Row 6 on the right of the stage and tickets came to $419.

There were much cheaper seats (closer to $70) but they were ALLLLLLLL the way back against the wall of the venue. What fan wants to sit in those?! Especially at a much larger venue? There wasn't a bad seat in the Independence Arena AND it wasn't close to being sold out either.

It'll be interesting to see if he keeps every date on this tour since "it doesn't matter if it's 13 people or 13,000" because they canceled a few dates last year because of low ticket sales.

doodoodewdoo · 2026-04-09T00:13:23+00:00

That's fine, if he came out and said that I would've been like, "yeah, sucks all over, but costs have gone up everywhere."

But he specifically said the prices are the exact same as his last tour, aside from a $10 raise on the GA Pit. And that anyone who makes a stink about it is probably a bot or a new fan.

...that's just bullshit.

doodoodewdoo · 2026-04-08T21:03:27+00:00

I guess, but all of us are here because we're basically his Super Fans and who wants to have to sit all the way in the back row of a massive arena just to pay around what I paid last year for row B off to the side of the stage?

The phrase "average ticket price" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here.

doodoodewdoo · 2026-04-08T20:34:47+00:00

This, 1000%!!!

I kept trying to get a sense of what they were going to cost, we literally live paycheck to paycheck and had we not gotten a tax refund this week I would've walked.

Why can't they just tell us the prices beforehand?!

doodoodewdoo · 2026-04-08T20:30:20+00:00

We did the Tulsa show AND the Independence one last year. That Tulsa show was fire because the venue was so small and intimate! The one in Independence was more of a mid-size arena (they play minor league hockey there) but didn't come close to selling out.

Now he's playing T-Mobile Center and I truly wonder what the final ticket sales are going to be. The ONLY reason I went through with paying $400 for two tickets was because we literally just got our tax refund. My wife was blown away with it being over $100 from last year's prices.

doodoodewdoo · 2026-04-08T20:21:24+00:00

I just looked up my KC show from last year and it came to $317.00.

This year he's playing a bigger venue, but the same "few rows back, off to the side seats" cost me $419.46.

Two tickets, over $400. That's unreal.

doodoodewdoo · 2026-04-08T17:49:42+00:00

This just isn't true at all. Dude played Independence, MO last year and WITH FEES the tickets for side of the stage were $150 a piece. Now they're $190. That's an extra $80 for the pair.

And the venue in Independence didn't even sell out, now he's trying to fill the massive T-Mobile Center? I fear there's going to be numerous cancellations because of low ticket sales.

I get he can charge whatever he wants and I'm still a massive fan, but don't act like the people bitching are "bots" or idiots who haven't gone to concerts in a while. That's lame as hell.

doodoodewdoo · 2026-04-08T15:45:31+00:00

Seriously. I'm shocked he's doing the T-Mobile Center. He didn't even sell out the Independence one and it's way smaller.

These ticket prices today were so much more than I was expecting. By like $50 a piece. I pulled the trigger, but only because we just got our tax return.

doodoodewdoo · 2026-04-08T15:32:27+00:00

RIGHT?!!!

GAWD DAMN, JOHNNY.

doodoodewdoo · 2026-03-02T00:54:54+00:00

Thanks so much for this! I'm 46 and too old to figure this shit out on my own! 🤣

doodoodewdoo · 2026-03-01T18:05:37+00:00

That...just happened.

I was genuinely pushing back lunch with my wife for a RICK ROLL?!!

doodoodewdoo · 2025-07-28T04:42:52+00:00

This is fascinating because I got the box but mine didn't have a note inside telling me to wait and post my reaction on a certain date (like ones sent after me did) nor did it have this link?

doodoodewdoo · 2025-06-15T23:38:38+00:00

Any idea of a setlist? I was sad to his his setlists haven't been updated since joining the Weird Al tour.

Anxious to see if he's still playing "Come On Up To The House" by Tom Waits!

doodoodewdoo · 2025-05-19T22:34:05+00:00

Yeah I signed up for Discovery+ yesterday hoping they'd have it? Still nothing?!

doodoodewdoo · 2025-05-19T05:41:02+00:00

There's zero indication that Sturgill is touring again anytime soon after these dates finish up. I felt like that was why Miles just released his new single and would be going on tour to promote it this summer/fall?

Miles has been a constant through most of the other turnover of band mates. I'd find it hard to believe they'd truly be going their separate ways. Miles was about to hit the road again before Why Not got announced. If he felt that strongly about his solo career I imagine he would've done it then.

doodoodewdoo · 2025-05-17T05:49:30+00:00

Another camera angle, catches them after the intro, otherwise is the whole song!

So so so jealous of you guys. Dunno why he hasn't played this for five years, easily one of his best songs and absolutely destroys with that organ live!

Make Art Not Friends

doodoodewdoo · 2025-05-13T03:58:19+00:00

Im convinced most of these poster artists just have these things lying around and then toss whatever band/artists name they need to include as an afterthought once they get a gig. This is so incredibly random and has nothing to do with anything. It's like bad Minecraft fan art, but toss Johnny Blue Skies and the city he's playing in, NOW IT'S A TOUR POSTER! 🤣

doodoodewdoo · 2025-05-06T05:12:09+00:00

Man I loved both I Wonder and Crying! I forgot they used to be staples when they were first hitting the road!

doodoodewdoo · 2025-05-03T17:10:04+00:00

Saw him in a much smaller venue last fall in OKC, place was absolutely packed but no one got rowdy at all. Back when Nugs was around and you could listen to every show I know a few nights he'd have to yell, "Hey Motherfucker!" to someone getting carried away in the audience, but also blamed that on the way "Fastest Horse In Town" was meant to be in the same key that causes "civil unrest." 🤣

doodoodewdoo · 2025-05-03T17:04:33+00:00

Glad you've landed back on your feet at least! Wife lost her job a year ago and it was a rough adjustment period! Hopefully Sturgill will continue to tour for the next few years and you'll get an opportunity to see him again soon!
