If I saw an email in my inbox that said "Congratulations, your $150 concert ticket also came with an album, click here to download it at no additional cost since you've already paid for it!!" I'd probably redeem it too. But congrats I guess! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even when Gaga's album was sold for 99 cents, at least people made the CHOICE to buy it. This has to be the stupidest comment ever. People still BOUGHT the tickets though, which is still MORE expensive than the album price....so she still HAS the demand. Just because her last two singles were poor choices on her part and didn't click wth the GP doesn't mean she is over...which is exactly what you are trying to imply. I obviously expected people to make that 'bundle' excuse but go on I guess.... Edited June 10, 2017 by Witnessed ET Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of our faves should be doing tour bundles and I hope they're taking notes about how the promotion saved albums as tragic as MDNA and Witness. This forum was so late to album equivalents and now you're all going to be late to ticket bundles. People make the CHOICE to buy the tickets from a first party seller, they make the CHOICE to buy these tickets at a higher price that includes the cost of the album and they make the CHOICE to redeem the album. Do you genuinely think selling 99 cent albums is more legitimate than selling $100 tour tickets and an album? drag them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoisonPill Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 This is about what I was expecting. Remember that Joanne scored 202k SPS with a complete flop lead single. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people just might not want a physical CD because they have no use for it. Some people might just forget about it. Some might not even realise it came with a copy of the album. There are an infinite amount of possibilities for why this 'ticket bundle' does not yield a guaranteed sale with every ticket sold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(same for Ed and Bruno) Katy is one of the most subscribed artists on YouTube and she is a YouTube streaming force. Simply putting her songs on YouTube raises awareness that she has music out and will, hopefully, generate interest, and therefore generate people to look for the songs on Spotify and iTunes too.
