No sellout for Willie Nelson
Tuesday, February 21, 2006
Staff Report
Despite speculation that Willie Nelson might break a Mobile Saenger Theatre box office record set by Alison Krauss, a few tickets for the show remained available Monday.
Krauss' last show at the Saenger sold out in less than an hour. Tickets for Nelson's first appearance there, scheduled for March 25, went on sale at 10 a.m. Friday with prices ranging from $45 to $65.
The Saenger's box office manager, Chris Penton, said Monday afternoon that about 40 tickets remained, mostly single seats scattered throughout the venue. Penton said he expected the show to sell out by sometime today.
The Nelson appearance is one of a trio of strong-selling country shows coming to the Saenger in the weeks ahead.
Penton said Monday that about half the venue's approximately 1,950 seats have been sold for a Kris Kristofferson concert March 21, with sales remaining steady. About 10 seats remained for Merle Haggard's April 4 show, he said.
