Saint

of all the merch and music drops, i did not expect the signed match my freak ep to be the first to sell out

calling people yes men simply because they understand everything doesn't have to go their way is hilarious. of the things that could be complained about when it comes to tinashe, the performance element of it will never be one of those things because, again, the only people who complain are fans like you who want her to blow a big bag on stage props and gags when she's been praised by critics and fans for literal years due to her being able to make even the most minimal set up on stage not matter because the performance itself was STELLAR! i don't think enough fans truly know how much it costs to tour, let alone how much it costs to do a single show. you think these shows are so minimal but production costs alone for these venues with this type of set up is around 15-20k a show and that's just production. doesn't sound like a lot until you factor in things like dancers, dj, tour team, etc and now suddenly the budget for three shows is climbing up around and past 100k because shows aren't just about the production you see but also the people behind the scenes and on stage with her that deserve to be paid adequately, which is why stage production is often minimized for many artists. costs increase exponentially, obviously, the bigger the venue and location of the show(s).

i hope y'all know you're literally proving her point and showing you still don't understand the concept of the era. the entire point is to show that being a popstar isn't a one-size-fits-all concept. everything doesn't have to be or appear to be a massive production, especially not for these album release shows. no shade but the only people who i've seen complain about these recent shows are people who couldn't even get in. the people that were there enjoyed it a lot and i think that's the whole point.

need her to keep digging in that vault. i want booty call on streaming next

they are consecutive (the one? day gap doesn't really make a difference) but that's not a requirement or concern when upgrading a venue. her only real concern would be figuring out how to properly execute the ticket exchange, which is pretty simple in theory but execution can be a little tricky since, in this case, it'd be moving a general admission event to a seated event. obviously the best way of doing that would be emailing everyone with a ticket a specific time and a unique code to access the new venue seating map so they can choose their seat and enter a code that allows them to have that seat for the price they paid but it's also ticketmaster which means, unless tinashe steps in and puts her foot down, the exchange wouldn't fully be a 1 to 1 equal ratio for any and all seats but rather restricted based on the amount of tickets available to be purchased afterwards and the number of vips that were sold already, as they'd likely get top pick of seating. it's logistical hell in a way.

if the third date sells out then i need her to go ahead and upgrade the venue and replace all three with one date at the forum

as someone who actually likes alter ego, she ate this and it's such a level up. 10/10, no notes.

obviously, i acknowledge the fact that they were definitely caught off guard by the amount of traction it has and there are things they have done right that i agree with but still, there are gaps that are starting to show. a social heavy approach can only take you but so far. hopefully we'll start seeing those gaps being filled soon. on another note, has anyone seen the pic of tinashe and victoria monét from the vsfs?

that's part of the problem. as far as radio goes, if the album was released now or early november then that excuse would have some merit but that simply wasn't the case here. radio isn't the full issue here for me, at least. it's the faux idea of a marketing plan/campaign that they have. there's a difference between having an actual plan set with contingencies versus having ideas that are cherry picked given this or that, ceding certain decisions to the typical waiting to see if the streaming numbers are good enough to justify executing those ideas. maybe it's just me having a different idea of a plan but i would never craft a marketing plan/campaign that's so skewed because it leaves gaps.

welp! boston sold out the moment i tried to add a ticket to cart; there were 24k people in the queue ahead of me for austin. guess i'll try dc next

this confirming my thoughts and that's not good. this is just industry speak for "we have ideas but nothing is set in stone"

so nyc doesn't get another date but la does? and only us dates announced?? girl...

because her team, even tho it's bigger and includes atlantic now, they still fail to understand how to have a contingency plan. once again they're caught in a place where they weren't expecting this much attention and activity. they hoped for it but they didn't adequately plan for it, which bothers me still but i'm sure they're figuring something out.

i wonder if this is the same as the after party from the vip tickets of the show since it's the same day

did it all without tacking on nbb remix. you know what that means? T A W!
