Janet Jackson’s ‘Number Ones, Up Close and Personal’ tour has already broken records! After being made available via Live Nation at 10am on Friday, January 14th, tickets for the show at the Gibson Amphitheatre sold out in less than 10 minutes.
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.
What did you expect; she is the female version of Michael Jackson, all thats missing is seeing Janet moon walk across the stage. I will be at the Atlanta show. Her Chicago and Washington DC shows sold out also, Chicago added another date, I think Atlanta is going to add another date because the first date March 29, is alread 74% sold tickets. The “UNTOUCHABLE” Janet!!..I keep waiting for a new Female artist to come out and be on Janet’s Level..but it seems God hasn’t? given out that type of Talent since MAY 16th 1966….JANET FOREVER!!!
