Music legend Jackson Browne has completely sold out the five-night concert residency at The Venetian Resort, Las Vegas.

Jackson Browne informed his audience, or rather his entire fan-following, that “Jackson’s five-night residency at the Venetian in Las Vegas is now sold out.” The announcement instantly created a wave of passionate reactions from the diehard fans, a combination of applause from those who are so very wise not to have missed it and sighs from those who really did miss it.
The comment section very rapidly turned into a virtual scrapbook of memories. One fan admitted that he had seen Browne as a teenager during the iconic Running on Empty tour, calling him “a legend…as a songwriter, musician & performer!” Another agreed with that and also said that they had been to twelve of Browne’s concerts through the years and “Fav of all time.” “Amazing how every show is a good memory in the making!” a third exclaimed.
That was really the turning point for many who could not get in. “I wanted to go so bad 😢,” said one voice of many to express the same feelings. Another wrote, “Darn it all to heck! First I am hearing of this…” indicating just how quickly these high-demand shows can sell out and frustrate the fans.
Soon, topics of prices and if tickets are really available began to float about, as are, of course, common topics in the music industry today. One sardonic observer noted, “Sold out but hundreds of tickets still available for purchase lol,” whining an ironic comment towards the secondary market. “Resale ticket prices so crazy!!😱” cried another fan. Then came in the seasoned concertgoer with the rescues from despair, “prices drop drastically the day of the show,” thus giving hope for the late planners.
The international angle of things with Jackson Browne was shown as the Vegas date was scratched off. Fans from all parts of the globe began begging for production in their own areas. “We are waiting for you in Europe,” one fan begged. Another requested, “Much Wenlock, Shropshire, UK please,” speaking to the extent and fervor of the fanbase. Another concerned Canadian expressed hope for a late tour, commenting on these “strange times in which we live.”
The announcement brought back memories for the lucky ones who attended the recent shows. “Sure is a great show,” one dared to jump in and endorse the experience. Another was glowing: “Wow! We saw him at the Venetian a couple of years ago… Fabulous shows. Jackson did not disappoint.”
