Thank you.

It seems that Houston and Vancouver are the only shows that haven't sold out... is it possible that the shows that don't sell most of their tickets could get cancelled?

The Houston venue has a capacity of up to around 42,000 for concerts. The ability to find the odd seat through the ticket agencies should be viewed as a bonus to fans still looking to obtain seats at face value rather than signs that the event hasn't "sold out" Simple maths suggests that even at 99.5% capacity over 400 seats would remain for sale and its completely normal that new seats are released throughout the pre-concert period. Vancouver ticket searches are failing to find a single ticket even when set to "best available". The continued availability of tickets through sale sites is a poor measure of the success of any concert event and certainly should not be grounds to start speculation that an event might be cancelled.

Who remembers Dallas 2009, what Buddy Holly song did Paul do, and do we think he will do a Buddy Holly song for us again this time around?

"It's So Easy" was played in Dallas in 2009. Unless Paul pulls "Words of Love" into the main set, I don't expect another Buddy Holly cover this time around. Better than even odds (almost a certainty, actually) that "Midnight Special" gets played, probably in the slot that will go to "Mull of Kintyre" in the Canada shows. Not sure what fills the slot in St. Louis.
-
More likely that he will do Midnight Special with it's reference to Houston. I think he did that at the Houston show in 1993 if memory serves.

Midnight Special 1) yuck 2) zzzzz

I agree. it shouldnt make the set list. plenty of other songs that are good
-
well, it has a Houston reference. I'm sure there are other Texas reference songs, but since he has done this one in the past a lot, it seems to be the obvious choice.
-
"ob·vi·ous" (also see: "predictable")
-
well, he's probably going to do a Chuck Berry song in St. Louis, which he I agree he should, but everybody would know the song! I heard Midnight special for the first time last year, didn't really go crazy for it. So to hear it live, i wouldn't be disappointed (very hard to be at a paul concert), but I wouldn't be able to sing along. And I think the overall crowd reaction won't be as good as Paul thinks it would be. But then again, he knows what he's doing.
-
Come on Paul play some Buddy Holly Buddy in case anybody doesn't know is from Tx plus Paul owns Buddy's songs, no pay to play= winning
-
Why is this the only concert that hasn't sold out yet? c'mon Houston lets get it together. let's give paul a good showing so he can give us a good show. It should have been further north in my opinion, like Austin or something.
-
less than a month beautiful ppl!
-
We need a countdown clock!
-
Anxiously awaiting my tix to arrive.
-
did you buy them from crowdsurge? Because I haven't gotten mine yet either. I read that some people at other venues got their tickets already from crowdsurge. I wonder why it takes longer for us?
-
If you read the fine print :, crowdsurge tickets are usually dispatched around 2 weeks before the date of the show.
-
The Houston concert is 3 days after the St. Louis one. Since St. Louis people have gotten their crowd surge tix I was hoping I'd (we'd) get ours soon also.
