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!

it's cute but it confirmed my thoughts. she's clearly in a grey area right now with her music and i can hear it in the music that her priorities have shifted, which is fine and natural but it comes through in the music in the worst way. felt like a chore to get through the album because certain songs felt more like an audition tape to get her to a different stage/opportunity, if that makes sense. maybe it'll randomly grow on me because there are good songs here but overall….not completely it.

we're getting closer to fall, it'll (eventually) get cooler, cuffing season the perfect time for this type of song

anyway, i need her to hurry up and officially reveal the other physical variants. need that rooftop cover.

didn't know they moved their usual premiere up to september but that's neither here nor there. also, i know both jimmy's are still active; what i said wasn't in reference to that. what was being referenced was the working relationship she already has established with kimmel vs. the almost non-existent one with fallon. it wouldn't make sense to book so many things first week anyway when the real hurdle is what comes after, especially when christmas/holiday projects start dropping in october now, with full pushes starting as early as nov 1st.
