Times music blog « Previous Post | Pop & Hiss Home | Next Post » Janet Jackson sells out Gibson Amphitheatre in less than 10 minutes, adds additional date January 14, 2011 | 12:25 pm Janet Jackson fans really couldn’t wait to see the pop diva. After tickets to the April 14 Los Angeles date of her newly announced "Number Ones, Up Close and Personal Tour" went on sale at 10 a.m. Friday morning, they sold out in less than 10 minutes, according to a spokesman for Live Nation. To try to keep up with the demand, Jackson and Live Nation have added an additional Gibson Amphitheatre performance for Friday, April 15. Jackson previously made news when she broke Beyonce’s attendance record when headlining the 2010 Essence Music Festival. After selling out the Louisiana Superdome -- where the annual festival is held -- Jackson reportedly commanded the first-ever waiting list for the Festival with additional seats erected and sold behind the stage. The "Number Ones, Up Close and Personal Tour" is her first tour since 2008’s brief "Rock Witchu Tour," which suffered numerous canceled dates due to poor ticket sales. For this trek, Jackson called on her fans to vote for the 35 cities (one for each of her 35 No. 1 hits) that would constitute the itinerary, with dates in Singapore, Hong Kong and Manila being the first to be announced. "These concerts will be different from anything I have ever done. I will be as up close and personal as possible," Jackson said in a statement. "These concerts are not about special effects. This is a love affair between me and those of you who have supported me and my work for all these years. I'll be singing and dancing from my heart. The music will all be songs that you've made number ones for me. Let's go!” Tickets for her second L.A. date are on sale through Live Nation and Ticketmaster. — Gerrick D.

The Sacred Prostitute Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 So you have to stand for the whole show? Yeah it's like a pit but way bigger at the Santa Barbara Bowl and I have never sat at a Janet Jackson Show....if the Queen is not sitting I will not be sitting either. I have to stand at her concerts so I'm gonna make sure and get as close to the gate right in front of the stage in the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
