sellout

Newcastle staged a home game against Saracens in Philadelphia in 2017, but the fixture fell well short of the hoped-for sellout, with the 18,500-capacity Talen Energy Stadium less than a third full.

Kulash said that kind of product placement was “scary as s—” back in the late 2000s, when the fear of being perceived as sellouts haunted every rock band.

There were plenty of them within the sellout crowd, so loud when they cheered Zach Neto’s home run that Padres fans felt compelled to drown them out.

The visas held by the band members are understood to no longer be valid and they are in the process of securing a new sponsor ahead of its sellout October tour in North America.

Live Nation has cited a 94% sellout rate, but the prevalence of available resale tickets at rock-bottom prices suggests that fans, at best, are having some buyer’s remorse.
