Rockstar Disrupt Festval: The Used / Thrice / Circa Survive / Sum 41 / TSSF / Atreyu / SWS / ETC Tour • Page 12

I don’t wanna keep beating the same drum, but no one really knows how many people have to attend this to be a success. The bands could be getting a smaller guarantee because they play less. Therefor these venues may only need 3k-5k to make a lot of money off parking, concessions, and alcohol. A lot of these summer packages don’t necessarily even have to fill half to make a lot of money. These venues want events and they want reasons for people to come to the venue.

 

This is true too. These venues only get a couple months out of the year to operate so they just want to fill in as many gaps as possible. I worked at one of the venues this is hitting, and we’ve had shows like this. They will just staff low and still make a shit ton of money off booze.

 

I believe that is the price per ticket. It comes out to around $35 a piece after fees.

 

They wouldn't sell the entire venue if they didn't think they could fill most of it. They ALSO wouldn't be pricing the tickets like they originally did. If they were realistic, they wouldn't sell lawn, make the back sections GA, or even just sell the pit and front area. There are also smaller Live Nation-operated sheds in a ton of these markets with lower overhead that could also sustain a tour like this.

The expectations are totally unreasonable.

 

Can’t wait to see photos of the seating area when this starts up.

 

Ended pulling the trigger on pit tickets for Tampa to me the lineup is worth the price but I still think the venues will be atleast half empty if not more

 

if all the headliners played a classic album, would that move tickets?

 

oh wow, now there are $20 "Summer Disrupt-ion" (before fees) tickets for the pit in West Palm. I paid $20 for the lawn a few weeks ago. Gonna call and try to get an upgrade

 

Probably. I'd like to see that!

 

100%

 

Not really because again, none of these bands are amphitheater bands or play bigger than 5,000 capacity rooms.

 

I would disregard price and 100% go if Thrice played Artist In The Ambulance front to back

(I doubt that would ever happen, but a man can dream, right?)

 

Fun game, what album would everyone want the bands to play? Mine:

Thrice - Artist In The Ambulance
Atreyu - Death Grip on Yesterday or Long Live
Sum 41 - Chuck or Screaming Bloody Murder
The Used - Artwork
Memphis May Fire - The Hollow

Those are the bands I'm going for and are familiar with.

 

Since Atreyu and Sum 41 aren't playing my date, I'd only be going for Thrice.

I think I'd be happy if Thrice played any of their albums all the way through. They all have some deep cuts that rarely get played that I'd be stoked on. I'd actually be least excited about Beggars despite it being one of my favorites, just because I've heard most if not all of that record live before.

 

Thrice - Vheissu
Used - Self-Titled
Circa - On Letting Go

 

Circa Survive: On Letting Go.
The Used: Lies For The Liars:
Sleeping With Sirens: Lets Cheer To This.
Memphis May Fire: The Hollow.

 

Where’s this? Link plz

 

Thrice - Beggars
Circa - Blue Sky Noise

The dream

 

That might sell even less tickets

 

Dude that's such a bummer! Sorry!

I dunno how I got so lucky to have them all on my date.

 

Well to be fair, Sum 41 just played here on their more "intimate" tour.

 

Yeah, they have only come through here since they got back for just festival type shows.

 

People have bad taste so yeah probably

 

It's the 15 year anniversary of Chuck this year, and in an interview Cone did say some of this years shows will have some Chuck tracks played, and we know they already have done this with their tour that just wrapped up!

 

Looks like there will be a local opener for each date
