I don't know why nobody is surprised, nowadays any artist sells out their tour in hours

[JoeAg]

ugh Red Rocks already sold out really? dude some of us are poor and need to budget for our own musical instruments and for food and living and sh*t why can't they announce an extra date in Colorado or just announce a bit closer to the release of a second single or the album… it's just frustrating, it feels like I have no time to pay attention to so many things for so many different artists whose music I enjoy 

[BlackoutZone]

You got me scared, but I just checked the date here and it seems there are plenty of tickets in so I don't have to worry about it rn

Yeah Poland is like the ONLY date that's not completely sold out yet, when I asked my friend he said the prices are extremely high compared to other shows and the arena is in a weird location, do you agree with him? I'm curious on why this happened only in Poland while 95% of the tour sold out

I can confirm. Łódź is not that known, but they have an arena.

Prices are high, most tickets are 140 euro, which is a lot - you could snatch Taylor or Beyonce's tickets for that, and it's like 2,5 times more than Amsterdam or Cologne

[aotearoa]

see what happens when you make timeless iconic songs 

[AcidPrince]

She is amazing, so no, im not surprised. She is a classic act.

[ontherocks]

Around a third of the shows aren't even arenas.

[Tusk]

The LA show is full of resales. 
 

"sold out" = non fans buying to resale

 

 

 

[halcyonday]

I wouldnt go to this even if they paid me

[BlackCord]

scalpers got them and want to resale them 

[Ryusei]

The zurich date has a capacity of 1600 - 2000 people according to their own website not them inflating numbers. Can't wait to attend tho.

I WANT her to shush me she needs to bring Writer in the Dark back. Pure camp

[Spicy Pisces]

Couldn't get my tickets yet, I'm so mad. I wanna be shushed so bad 

[ScorpiosGroove]

i mean half the the tour is happening in tiny cafeterias, i'd be more surprised if all that comeback and brat hype didn't sell those out

Interesting  Indeed the arena is in a shitty ass city, but a lot of other artists come there anyway. She probably should have picked Cracow. The prices don't seem really worse than pretty much most of shows nowadays, we just have to accept that live shows are getting significantly more expensive nowadays, hope the bubble pops eventually

I don't know why anyone would be surprised with this. 

 

It's a common career path for people who cultivate a strong fanbased based on songwriting and community. It takes some years for them to be fully appreciated, then their fans grow a little bit older and have more money and their old catalogue starts go be discovered… Same as happened with Charli, Taylor (in a differente scale ofc), Lana, etc. Lorde's been showing signs of this for a while.

i gasped at this part because you're so right it literally happened to me and i never thought about it before??? Lorde is my #1 fav since i was a 10 year old kid in 2013 and since she only releases every 4 years i was never able to attend her tours sadly, (i was 18 during Solar Power tour) BUTTTT this time I saved up for this moment for a long time since i'm working now and now i'm finally going 

[NoOneDiesFromLove]

Queen  I will have my card ready for when she comes back to Auditorio Telmex (fingers 🤞) in Guadalajara

She did Mission Ballroom last time she was here, and that has about a third of Red Rocks' capacity. I was in the queue early before tickets went on sale, and all that was left was resale tickets. So, that was weird. I don't like being gaslit into believing that an artist sells out 10,000 tickets in 2 minutes - especially of this size in a medium-sized city.
