Rockstar Disrupt Festval: The Used / Thrice / Circa Survive / Sum 41 / TSSF / Atreyu / SWS / ETC Tour • Page 8

Weirdly the $20 sale tickets are lawn tickets that are still on sale for exactly $19.99?

Was really hoping there would be a deal to be had. Real weird!

 

They are $19.99 plus fees so you’re saving some money? It is weird though.

 

Ah, I see. Guess that's something, but not sure I want lawn.. Will hold out a bit longer I think.

 

Was able to actually get pretty good seats for the Tampa date for 20. Wasn't wild about paying 60+fees for this, but for 20, why not.

 

$20 to see Thrice alone is more than worth it.

 

I just don't want Lawn. The Toronto show is selling so poorly I thought for sure they'd open up the 400 Level for $20 tickets but no dice so far... I might have to just bite the bullet and hope they end up moving everyone up a rung.

 

Just curious but where would you see ticket sales for shows?

 

No idea honestly. But on ticketmaster they have the seating chart since up to the 300 level is assigned seating and basically the whole 300 level hasn't sold a ticket.

 

I'm probably the only one that bought 300s almost right away still worth it for myself but can definitely see the lawn and even 400s get moved up fast

 

In all honesty I'm probably going to skip this unless I can find someone unloading a pit ticket for less than $50. Keeping my fingers crossed.

 

At my venue, there's typically the 100 sections right in front of the stage, with the center section (sometimes) removed for the pit, then the 200s behind that, and then the lawn. For this show, they are selling all of the 200 section seats as GA seating. They're still $50, though so I'll stick to the $20 lawn deal and just move up to that section (or beyond) on the day of the show. These shows are gonna be WAY underfilled.

 

Why this isn't in the same type of parking lot/outdoor venues as Sad Summer is beyond me

 

Sad Summer will sell better at almost every date I think.

 

You’re 100% right.

 

Because Live Nation

 

It's too big for live nation Fillmore/HOB venues, but also, thinking this will fill amphitheaters is just silly

 

Would love to Have been in the discussions during the planning of this tour.

 

“So we know these bands draw about 1000-2000 a night on their own, they have overlapping fan bases, so combine them and they should be able to fill 25k cap Amphitheatres”

 

I wonder if there was a big headliner who dropped? Either way my guess is that the routing was put together by live nation to fill some off days in their 2nd tier amphitheaters. Then made a deal with SGE to build out a festival or something. There is clearly a hole to fill with warped being gone for these types of bands So Live Nation/SGE probably want to build out a successor to it. I don't believe that they really thought this would sell well, rather there has to be some deals going on with Live Nation that makes it so they break even or so in its first year.

Also didn't Coheed and TBS play these same venues last year? So that shows that they can have a profitable show with (presumably) half capacity crowd.

 

Coheed/TBS was in smaller Live Nation sheds

 

I believe Coheed and TBS played the smaller amps (5-10k). Those are the exact venues I thought this would hit for sure.

 

Ah, I know at least the PNC arts center (NJ) was/is used for both tours, didn't really know about the others. But yeah then I guess that is strange that they wouldn't go to those 10k amps if Live Nation had them available. Only thing I could think of is the 2nd stage, if those smaller amps don't have a space for that.

 

That tour was at Pier 6 in Baltimore (4.4K cap I think). Would've been ideal for the DC/Baltimore market instead of Jiffy Lube Live (25K).

 

Five Point Amphitheater was used for the Coheed/TBS tour and is gonna be used for this tour.

From what I saw it looked like the Coheed/TBS tour sold really well at that date, but it was the only SoCal date of the tour. So you gotta factor in LA people, OC people, and probably SD people too

 

Okay guys now I'm worried I'll make plans around this and it'll get cancelled. The more I think about it, and look at pictures of the venues they're playing, the crazier it seems.
