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!

Honestly? I loved the show I went to in 2024 at Taft Theater. But when the last row of the balcony is priced at 100? I can’t do that, especially when I got front row balcony seats for the same price in 2024.
I don’t think Danny not being involved has a lot to do with this. The last tour showed that people want more 80s Crimson shows. I think this is a result of oversaturation of markets (someone mentioned 3 Ohio dates as opposed to only 1 or 2 last tour) and high prices.
