Eagles Sphere Residency Ticket Sales are Concerning

The Eagles Sphere residency was first announced on June 13. At the time, eight show dates were unveiled, and an additional four show dates were unveiled on June 19. So far, U2, Phish and Dead & Company have performed at the Sphere. Each band -- according to reports from Rolling Stone, Consequence and IQ Magazine -- sold out all tickets for their slate of shows. Unfortunately, the Eagles dates at the futuristic Las Vegas venue haven't been instant sell-outs.

Las Vegas Review-Journal's John Katsilometes pointed this out in his column published on June 21
As previously reported, the first eight shows had presales beginning on June 18 and the general on sale beginning on June 21. For first began in February. At that time, the band was in talks about playing the Sphere, but a deal was not finalized.

In March, The New York Post reported the Eagles booked a residency that will stretch over 10 weekends from September through December. Obviously, that report was a bit exaggerated, since the actual residency is four weekends.

The Eagles are still in the middle of their farewell tour. When the farewell tour was first announced, the Eagles noted they would be rolling out dates and venues once they are confirmed. As of publishing, the only show's the band has scheduled are the Sphere dates. However, The New York Post's report back in March said the residency is expected to follow the end of their "The Long Goodbye" farewell tour.

Whether or not the Eagles Sphere residency shows will be the official end to their farewell tour has yet to be confirmed.
