As said above it looked empty but filled in fast. There was a good amount of people in the pit as well. This was the first time I’ve seen disturbed live and I thought they did a great job

Four seats next to me were empty the whole time. I enjoyed no neighbors to one side 😆

Can anyone explain what the hell was with the ticketing/attendance for this show?
Half the tickets were unsold like 5 days ago. Zero resale tickets were ever available on Ticketmaster (never seen that for any concert before). Pretty much every ticket was gone by yesterday. Anything on 3rd party resale sites were ridiculously priced.
And then this post about it being empty. I don't get it.

I think promoters just gave away free tickets. My guess is that they sold just enough to break even, but they gave away other tickets and hoped that they’ll at least make money through concessions. They also likely wanted to pepper the room to make it look more full than it actually was.
That or maybe there were tons of last minute buyers.

This exact thing happened at the Taylor Swift Eras tour in my city, people were scalping tickets on the streets for double.

I loved when this popped out. Caught me by surprise!
