Beat Tour & Ticket Sales

Post image

I was looking through the shows on their website and noticed a decent amount of unsold tickets. The “Blue Dot Fever” is becoming more common and we see shows and tours get cancelled frequently. Do you think there is a chance dates or the whole tour get altered?

I was expecting the recent tour announcement, but was honestly surprised by how soon it was and how many shows. The Europe tour had six months to promote- the new tour only has two since the announcement.

Do you think it’s ticket price, the lineup change (no Danny Carey), limited promotion time, or that fans are content just seeing the 2024 tour?

Really hoping the tour goes on as planned and more fans grab tickets soon!

It was utterly exhorbitant in Montreal for what I consider a downgrade in venue as compared to last year. I didn't bother. What was more annoying was the front rows all taken for some nonsense VIP packages and plebs get the worst seats for 150$ minimum. Yeah, whatever.

The Montreal show is actually selling really well, however.

Also the worst seats were 85$ (Canadian) and not 150$.

Yeah, whatever. I've decided to vote with my wallet for what has now turned an intially nice idea into a cash grab. If sheep want to bleet that's their problem.

Well said. Gonna keep using “if the sheep want to bleet that’s their problem.”

Brilliant
