Background

The tour started in Salt Lake City on July 14, 2004.[1] Initially, 48 tour dates were planned, but two shows (Ames, Iowa and Fargo, North Dakota) were cancelled due to poor sales. and three shows were later added in Honolulu in response to demand from fans of Jasmine Trias and Camile Velasco, as well as one final show in Singapore.[2]

Despite having three sell-out shows in Hawaii, the attendances for most of the shows were significantly lower than the first two tours. Average number of tickets sold fell by 40% compared to Season 1 and 48% compared to Season 2. Excluding Singapore, a total of 258,577 tickets were sold, grossing $11,400,424 according to Billboard.[3]
