I still feel like these shows will sell out despite poor sales. There was an article in billboard last year about the Rolling Stones tour and how the stadiums were only half sold and the promotor boldly said the shows are all definite sellouts and that they are doing special marketing that sells the show out but over a period of time or something like that. I feel like that is happening here too. I was at Columbia last year and floor seats were still available the week of the show. The show didn't even sell out until 3 hours before it started.

RE: How does someone get dead-center front row seats?
You can do what I did. Confuse security staff at a GA festival into letting you in 2 hours before the gates open... walk around the site for 2 hours talking on your phone as if you are someone in charge (for example, shout into the phone "What do you mean the porta-johns aren't ready yet?") and then walk up to the stage one minute before gates open and watch the throngs of people flood in behind you.

RE: Paul McCartney 2016 Rumors
With the Vegas shows, that would depend on if AEG and Goldenvoice would enact a radius clause on the Indio show. In the past with Coachella, the radius clause extended to reach Los Angeles, San Diego, and even Las Vegas. The only exception to playing the radius clause is if the artists play specific Goldenvoice events in between the two weekends or bookending the festivals. Goldenvoice releases a specific animated calendar of Coachella acts playing in Los Angeles but these are only club shows. They don't allow much for the Headliners. This year, Guns N Roses played Vegas just before Coachella, but I feel like the restrictions to this radius clause would be tighter because these are far more in demand acts and the exclusivity factor goes way up. Long story short: In my opinion, Vegas may not happen in Indio doesn't sell out. If it does, then they've maximized profit and have nothing to lose with nearby shows.

Talked with my source (he's much more open when things are announced) and he said the sales for the first night waned but it is still going to be a sellout so they waited a bit to announce but it was always planned.

My source for these shows said two shows, and it makes sense as it is the largest indoor market on this tour. If so, the second Minneapolis show was announced the day after the first so I would suspect the same in this case.

Did we have a confirmation of Cleveland or was it just all speculation, because either or both worked?

there are things going on, behind scenes that make it quite hard to say with complete accuracy as things look to be/are changing very late in the game. I think the south may have to wait until next time to rise again! Unless things have changed. Time will tell
You're describing every concert tour to ever exist ever (except for country music)
Not true at all, usually fairly easy.
I will say though that within the past two years that things change a lot. What I mean is I hate when bands plan a huge tour of the US and it is like 6 cities, All in either the northeast or California.
