jannybruck Posted January 5, 2022 Report Share Posted January 5, 2022 30 minutes ago, jump said: I've seen loads of people just start accusing bands of cancelling because shows to low tix sales rather than it being genuinely covid concern related. It reminds of when people on here start saying a band's tour is selling badly because it's not sold out even though not sold out can be anything between 0-99.9% of the tickets sold and it always comes off to me a lazy speculation. I mean, it's definitely a thing right now and it doesn't necessarily reflect on the popularity of the band. My partner works in the West End and theatre – some big shows, too – simply haven't recovered since the summer boom, they're basically giving tickets away some nights to get bums on seats. People simply aren't committing to stuff at the moment like they used to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't seem to be any info on that yet it seems, I imagine if YNWITA is dropped at 4pm there may be more info there. Edit: Bit of digging suggests a very limited number of tickets go on sale 9am Friday on Dice. Edited January 5, 2022 by Hutchmaster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Memory Man Posted January 5, 2022 Report Share Posted January 5, 2022 £77 is an absolute joke but im sure due to supply & demand they will sell easily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Increases my (already at 95%) probability of Glastonbury going ahead. These gigs are indoors when the infection numbers are so high.

Matt42 Posted January 6, 2022 Report Share Posted January 6, 2022 3 minutes ago, Hugh Jass said: "Officially announced" suggests something was in the pipeline. There definitely was. Looking at the Bruce forums people managed to source virtually all of the dates. He was playing Werchter boutique, mad cool, the site where PinkPop takes place etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoringMidlander Posted January 6, 2022 Report Share Posted January 6, 2022 5 minutes ago, Hugh Jass said: "Officially announced" suggests something was in the pipeline. As Matt says, a few dates had been pinned down elsewhere. There was also a poster spotting in Frankfurt pre-Christmas (similar design to the original Eventim notification), just as the postponement rumours started gathering speed.
