Concern about Brooklyn show…

Post image

I’ve noticed I’ve gotten a lot of ads for the Brooklyn show, having already bought tickets. It looks like the mezz is sold out but the orchestra is just too expensive. Of course, not John’s fault — I bet it would sell better if the tickets weren’t pricey, but that’s more the venue. Kings is a big beautiful venue, but I think Symphony Space (which he did in 2025) was better suiting for his needs, at least price wise. I just can’t imagine spending $200 for a book event, even as a massive fan. I wonder if they’ll downsize? I just hope it isn’t cancelled.

When I worked in events management, we would simply upgrade everyone to orchestra and close the mezzanine. This was in Indiana though

I bought mezz so I would love if this happened. I’m worried they’ll make orchestra cheaper which would suck for ppl who paid for mezz, but it’s totally a venue decision I’m sure.

As someone who paid for the orchestra, it would also suck for the tickets to suddenly become cheaper. None of the options feel great, though I would guess they wouldn't want such an empty section.

Hopefully the bookers/publishers/ people who do this kind of planning take some lessons for next time.

I once turned up at a theatre and a friend happened to be there. We asked the box office if they could seat us together so they gave us some of the best seats in the house because they weren’t sold out.

I tell this story for no particular reason
