XDNA Posted March 15 Posted March 15 People magazine reported it accurately. They have more followers than Variety too. Variety needs to get it together. 1

She’s inoffensive tbh. She’s never pretended to be a musician or a vocalist. She’s a showgirl. She’s not musically relevant anymore and she knows it but she’s they type of act that needs to rely on her legacy as she does not have a huge fanbase that will go to her tours no matter what (like Madonna who always sold out even when her albums flopped like MDNA and Rebel Heart). For example, her Vegas Residency was very successful. The tour is struggling I won’t lie but saying those dates were cancelled because of low ticket sales is a stretch cause there are dates that are selling WORSE (like Denver) and they’re still there. Seems to be more due to scheduling issues. Also, the prices are outrageous. Her team should clock Variety tbh. Anyway, she’ll be fine. She’s hard working and she’ll always be booked. You guys clocking Variety are losing the point because the article ran due to JLo's own team. From the article Quote A rep for the artist did not immediately respond to Variety’s request for comment; the cancellation notice reads simply, “Unfortunately, the Event Organizer has had to cancel your event. No action is required to obtain a refund.” This means Variety got in touch with JLo's rep with the story they'd be running ("dates canceled due to low sales"), and HER OWN REP did not deny it, choosing silence instead. 3 1 1

More followers = more reputable? ATRL logic at its best People is a gossip magazine and Variety is literally one of the most respected industry trade papers, thats been around for more than 100 years. You tried, though. 3 1 3

I was talking about reach. You know the main purpose of X. To spell it out for you: Generally more people should see the post from the account with more followers. Unless one post goes more viral of course. Don't come at me assuming things again. You know what they say about people that make assumptions. Edited March 15 by XDNA 1
Outlaws Posted March 15 Posted March 15 It doesn't make any sense to cancel this because of low demand 5 months before the actual date, does it? 2
Mr. Mendes Posted March 15 Posted March 15 (edited) I fully believe her ticket sales would be better across the board if the prices weren't so off the rails insane. The album was a mega bomb, but she has shown before that she has the ability to solidly tour. The problem is having your nosebleed seats still be above $100. Some artists can get away with that, but she isn't one of them. Her team vastly overestimated what kind of touring artist she really is which is someone who can draw a crowd but not someone that most would give anything and everything to see. And I don't even mean just the cancellation. I fully acknowledge it could be logistical (and it makes sense if it is), but those dates also were selling very, very, very poorly. Even without the conflict, the sales were cancelably bad. And I can't say just having a look at Tour Data's spreadsheet that the remaining shows are miles ahead with the exception of a few major cities. Edited March 15 by Mr. Mendes
Twixters Posted March 15 Posted March 15 Her team was TONE DEAF. This project is not what she needed. Like did they not see all the comments and hate she gets on social media and her music involvement with Ashanti etc. even though it’s minimal the public has blown it up out of proportion. She is seen as a joke with music. Not to mention she came out with lukewarm ass music. She needed some SO HOT the public couldn’t resist but to bop with it and she sure as **** needed a better collab than LATTO. 1
Dark Phoenix Posted March 15 Posted March 15 The Variety article was nasty yeah but I’m not surprised because they did a very passive aggressive dragging of her film and interview last month, which proves that Hollywood hates her or at least Variety that caters to old white men and is an old institution. But yeah the fault is on her team for not giving a reason for the cancellation. 1

The media lives for a downfall moment, especially when it’s the downfall of a woman who’s been successful for so long (and one people won’t jump in to defend so quickly). Social media has ruined her reputation immensely, they’ve created false narratives and no one has gone out of their way to debunk any of the claims made so this lie will travel quicker than the true reason for the cancellation anyway at this point. Plus those “blind item” pages would have run with whatever story they wanted anyway lol. Tiktok is especially brutal towards her (it’s kinda giving misogyny because certain problematic men don’t get the same reaction..), I’m sure there’s hundreds of videos about this article already mocking her. 1

insomniac Posted March 16 Posted March 16 3 hours ago, Hurem said: Screaming at some of you believing the “logistics” excuse That has to be the laziest PR move when it comes to cancelling shows. You know why? Because it’s 7 shows in a specific timeframe at the end of the tour. One of the shows was even 70% sold at time of canceling. Those canceled shows are 5 months away! Why not cancel the ones she has 3.5 months away then. It’s clearly something to do with scheduling because she left some other shows that are 50% sold on the roster and start much faster. Again, her It’s My Party tour still had 72k tickets unsold 1 week before the start of the tour. The tour was a huge success selling out nearly every show. Right now as it stands ~60% of the tour is SOLD OUT. She has 3.5 months left until the tour starts with 148k tickets left to sell. That’s plenty of time! I’m sure she will be fine selling those out, as she did during It’s My Party. “In general, tickets for live events have a very predictable sales curve: 20% Of Tickets sell within 2 weeks of the On-Sale. 30% Of Tickets sell between the on-sale period & 2 weeks before the event. (Maintenance Period) 50% Of Tickets sell during the final 2 weeks (The Closeout)” https://patchboard.co/blog/post/when-do-people-buy-tickets It’s not fair nor realistic to hold her to the standard of the likes of Taylor Swift, expecting her to sell out shows instantly. 2
Yes, AND Posted March 16 Posted March 16 On 3/11/2024 at 11:49 PM, shakeyourbombom said: Correction: Not some, only one date is over 70% which is Atlanta. The remaining ones were around 40% sold. I will give that to her as the latin community always shows up late to purchase the tickets. You can keep believing that it’s a scheduling issue. We both have our own versions of “fan fiction”. Wow you are really keeping tabs on JLO and her ticket sales huh.
