    I don't remember when, but was before 2013. VGL was going to come to the Kansas City area and I bought tickets and thought I had good seats in the 11th row. Several weeks later, the morning of the event, I checked the seating chart and the best seats are still in the 11th row. The event was cancelled due to lack of tickets sold and I got a refund.

    The shows at gamescom 2015 in Cologne for sure were NOT sold out! They were a financial disaster, because Tommy did not know, that the "kids that go to gamescom" won't spend the price of a concert to go to Video Games Live. I worked for the show at that time and to get the tickets sold, they dropped the price to ~10 € only hours before the concert started. That was the first and last time working for VGL.

    I attended VGL's show in Taiwan in 2008 and 2009. Back then, VGL would have "sold out" and "sold lots" on their past shows. My understanding is that if they sold like 60% or 70% of the concert, they would say "sold out." Anything less would be "sold lots."

    I was there in Greensboro and had an amazing time, the show was amazing and the crowd loved it. I've been a fan of VGL since 2008 and own all 6 albums. One of my soccer club (Montreal Impact) used to also mark sold out every time even if it wasn't, it's sadly a common marketing strategy it seems. Indeed, VGL lost the Nintendo license since the Mario movie came out.

    I went to VideoGames Live twice - 2008 and then again in 2010 when they played Toronto. Neither time was sold out. That's fine with me. There were still plenty of people attending and I actually got up and changed my seat for a better one and nobody cared to stop me. Had it truly been sold out, my experience would have been worse! I am actually glad it wans't sold out and my experience was so much better.
    Lying that shows are sold out when they weren't is unnessary and immoral, but I also don't think it matters. VideoGames Live is a great show. The actual preformance is by talented orchestras and they are who you attend the show to hear, not Tommy. You should go to VGL regardless of Tommy lying about shows being "sold out". That shouldn't be a deciding factor.

    • @LelandReview

      With all due respect sir, your use of a term made up by Tallarico himself -- "gaming racists", which doesn't even make any sense -- pretty well invalidates your position. No sir, they're not speculations or fabrications or trollings; they're observations made over a period of several years, many of them by folks who love the brand and supported the product. The UA-camr "Slopes" has made a 4-hour documentary which details the entire timeline of events and points out Tallarico's many falsehoods. And incidentally..... "They simply didn't mention..." -- that's another way of saying "lied".

    Again this break down to a misunderstanding over a definition. "It often comes down to precisely what "sold out" means. And that can vary, depending on the venue and the act - whether it be a musical group, a dance company or a touring play.
    Alexis Kenleigh, chief marketing officer for Orchestra Iowa, the ticketing office for the Paramount Theatre, said there are a number of “holds” that apply to most venues. So when a show is listed as sold out, it doesn't necessarily mean all the tickets have been purchased." Gazette
