Third Eye Blind in Delaware 2003, Flower Market + Stone Balloon
Mother's Day fell on May 11 in 2003, but the day prior on May 10, Third Eye Blind came through Delaware, as part of a small club tour attempting to stir up interest in their third album "Out of the Vein", which would come out a few days later.
First stop for the day as a short acoustic set at the 82nd annual Wilmington Flower Market in Rockford Park.
Their evening show would be at Stone Balloon in Newark - this tour was unique in that tickets were only sold on eBay. For the 20 date tour, the Newark show had the fewest listings on eBay and sold the fewest tickets on eBay. Newark also had the highest percentage of tickets sold via Buy-it-Now of any of the cities on the tour, at 88.19%.
