Houston Chronicle Publicizes Huge Response To Clay's Houston Ticket Sales

Hold on to your Stetsons, Clay fans. The Houston Chronicle has put some great early advertising in the newspaper for Clay's Houston concert! This is quite a surprise since when Clay came to Houston in 2004 there was not any big articles about Clay until right before the tour. This is awesome news for which this Houstonian is extremely grateful!!

The article is in both the newspaper itself and at The Chronicle's online site. On the front page of the Entertainment section is a gorgeous picture of Clay with a snippet leading you to the article on page E4. And the great irony of this snippet is that it is right next to an article entitled, "Taking the Measure of a Man"!

Here is the article about the great response received by the Houston Symphony:

Big push for Aiken tickets

A slow-selling second album and a daytime TV feud have done little to quell Claymania in Houston.

The Houston Symphony's phone lines were jammed Monday with calls inquiring about tickets for American Idol runner-up Clay Aiken's July 6 appearance with the orchestra.

The symphony sent e-mails to its subscribers and to Aiken fan clubs, prompting the onslaught.

"We've never seen response like this," symphony spokesman Art Kent said. "Not that we're unhappy about it. The response has been great. But I haven't even put out the press release."

Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Wednesday. Call 713-224-7575 or log on to www.houstonsymphony.org.This is just another example of the great response that Clay always receives for his concert sales, and for it to happen in Houston is an absolute delight! Get ready Houstonians... Claymania has been released on your unsuspecting city!
