Reply to comment by Chaiwok in Death Cab/Postal Service Shows by Chaiwok

It's actually the opposite. They keep these dates in reserve and only actually go ahead with them if there's demand. Especially now, with the exorbitant cost of touring, you don't want to do multiple shows in a location unless they're sell-outs or close to it.

So, of course, with the Death Cab show from this year at the Anthem, they would be cautious about doing too much in the DC area. And the demand for that show doesn't really tell them anything about what it'd be like at the much, much larger MPP. But, they saw from the demand there that it was worth adding one show at the Anthem. And they saw based on the sellout there that it was worth adding another.
