Tour Prediction and Speculation Thread [ARCHIVED] Tour • Page 2206

It's probably one of the best metrics you can use to grow the brand, but not for ticket sales.

Using Spotify data does have its' flaws. For example, listeners actively seeking an artist's song vs only hearing it because its' on a playlist. Also, Spotify users skew 34 and under, but the majority of concert goers are between the ages of 35-54. So you could get an idea of how many younger people are going to certain shows, maybe?

What a ramble.

 

I had Blink/Weezer/TBS/Asher Roth but maybe it was because it was their San Diego date

 

whatever happened to asher roth lmao

 

I saw that Blink tour twice, once with TBS/Weezer up in Hartford, CT and then back in the city with Fall Out Boy and Asher Roth who unfortunately replaced All-American Rejects. There was a third variation of that lineup I could have gone to out at Jones Beach with both Fall Out Boy and Panic At The Disco opening.

 

I'm assuming he either graduated or dropped out

 

he’s still in college

 

again, I’m not talking about the listeners. The followers is the metric that is actually interesting in relation to ticket sales because those are the people who might actually care about the band and aren’t just casual listeners.

dividing the followers by listeners show you a metric that shows how many people actually care to know what a band or artist is doing as compared to their casual listeners

 

In defense of the Spotify stuff, I don’t think those numbers are a 1 to 1 thing, but I do see them as an indicator of how dedicated the fan base of the band is thus leading to how well they could sell our show

I feel like Nate silver right now haha

 

I had Blink, All American Rejects, Asher Roth

 

Who here has seen Depeche Mode somewhat recently? Are they worth going to see still?

 

I don't know if 2017 counts as recent but they were still great then. The production is always incredible and Dave Gahan is quite the frontman.

 

The Maine is an interesting example too. They've really been the best-in-class model of "we don't need to get that much bigger, let's just have an immensely passionate fanbase that we can play 500-1000 cap rooms in every city forever, & we'll also do a hometown festival that 5-10% of the fanbase will travel for every year because it's different every time & worth it"

 

Close to a religious experience if you’re in a big crowd.

 

Can't wait to have 3 pages of dialogue about Yellowcard ticket sales the rest of the day happy Friday friends

 

Yellow Belly By Thrice > Yellow Eyes the black metal band > Yellowcard

 

the color yellow and a pack of playing cards > yellowcard

 

Jelly Belly by The Smashing Pumkins >>> Yellow Belly by Thrice

 

This has been noticeable for awhile, specifically at arena/stadium shows. The expensive seats usually have a more older crowd thus, on average they’ll probably be less energetic than someone younger who can only afford an upper deck seat.

 

Botch tickets for austin have been purchased

 

To be fair, Radio City sucks the energy out of any show be it a $15 ticket or $1500 ticket

 

Everything about that tweet makes me cringe. The situation with Ticketmaster is definitely unfair, but the implication that the people up-front are lesser fans or whatever and the entitled attitude of the tweeter...

And stopping mid-song to complain about crowd energy sure is a look. LOL
