'NSync plots major spring-summer stadium tour

Tour promoter SFX Entertainment has unveiled the initial routing for 'NSync's spring-summer tour of U.S. stadiums and other large venues. Tickets are scheduled to go on sale in at least five markets on Friday and Saturday (2/9-10).

The boy group's ambitious itinerary currently includes stops in more than three dozen cities from May through July, and more additions are expected. Tickets to upcoming shows in Miami and Tampa go on sale on Friday at 5 p.m. Eastern Time. Meanwhile, Saturday ticket on-sales are planned in Jacksonville, Fla., Jackson, Miss., and Hershey, Pa., according to SFX.com.

No other ticket on-sale information was available from promoters at press time. Though the band's initial itinerary includes cities and dates, most venues couldn't be confirmed immediately. Ticket prices are being advertised at $25 to $65 for the tour's initial shows, not including taxes, ticketing charges and other fees.

'NSync grossed $76.4 million on the concert circuit in 2000, enough to earn the group the No. 2 slot on Pollstar's year-end chart of top tours. In 1999, the group's tour grossed $51.5 million, according to Pollstar. The Florida-based quintet's latest release, "No Strings Attached" (Jive) was crowned the top-selling album of 2000, and has sold more than 10 million copies to date, according to SoundScan.
