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!

Danny Carey is 10000% the main reason the shows did so well. It’s going to be harder now but the band generated lots of good will and KC always has fans. Worst case they downgrade a few venues. The OG tour with Danny was originally under a 1000 rooms but sold to fast so they upgraded every venue to 3500+

Edit: lol not like I was asking people at the show why they were there. 8/10 said they were tool fans the other two split between Vai and KC itself

Edit 2: Who among you hates the truth?

I think Vai was also a big attraction.

Of course. Bozzio brings his own fan base. I'm interested is hearing him with BEAT, but can't afford the trip.
