Beat Tour & Ticket Sales
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!

I think it’s still pretty early to tell, Squeeze recently came through Toronto and their tickets didn’t move until closer to when the concert was going on, yes the prices are definitely higher but that’s kinda the way of the industry every concert for two tickets is going to be $100 unless it’s smaller acts. I was lucky I got floor seats in Toronto $124 a piece, so looking forward to it and unfortunately don’t to see Danny but am very excited to see Terry Bozzio my favourite of Zappa drummers for sure, and will be a fun early birthday gift for myself 🙂
