When browsing entertainment news daily, you often see similar headlines:

"Justin Timberlake's solo concert tickets sold out within 30 minutes."

"Beyonce's concert tickets sold out within fifteen minutes."

"It's hard to get a ticket for a one-way band concert.

"Justin Bieber fans fought to snap up a ticket."

"Fans lined up for three days and three nights to buy tickets for the Queen's concert."

And so on and so on.

Sold out, snapped up, no tickets, high prices, scalpers, similar keywords always make people can't help but exclaim. The concert market is really hot.

But the reality is not that simple.

Sold out, what kind of venue is it? London Wembley Stadium? Madison Square Garden, New York? Or an unknown two-thousand-person stadium? The level difference in the capacity of the venue is the key. Of course, the sold-out of venues with 100,000 people and venues with 2,000 people cannot be compared.

How do you use the venue without a ticket? Even in top performance venues such as the Staples Center in Los Angeles, the organizer’s stage settings may also affect the number of audiences. The difference can be seen from the stage of ticket release. The capacity of the Staples Center’s concert can be seen from Twenty thousand people spanned to fifty thousand people, but in the news, there are no votes for 20,000 people, and that’s the case with 50,000 votes.

Thirty minutes sold out, how do you define thirty minutes? Do you pre-sell in advance? Is it bundled with the release of the new album? Have you signed an agreement with the local sponsor of the event? For example, the title sponsor of a concert will directly take a quarter of the tickets and distribute them in the form of gifts, draws, internal digestion, etc., and even the ticket sellers colluded with the scalper tickets in advance to digest part of the tickets in advance.

As for the gossip news about the black market, queuing, fighting, etc., caused by tickets, the possibilities are even more numerous.

To put it simply, at the moment, the global music market is generally in a downturn, and all countries and regions are no exception. The concert market is naturally also affected, especially after the financial crisis detonated by the real estate subprime mortgage crisis in 2008, the current economic downturn is still the crisis. Without cancellation, the sales of concert tickets will naturally encounter more challenges.

To be straightforward, only a few top superstars and popular idols can guarantee the tour box office.

For example, fans of a one-way band are willing to spend a lot of money for them, even if their album sales can't compete with popular superstars like Taylor Swift and Justin Timberlake, but their concert ticket sales speed has repeatedly created new highs, and The attendance rate is amazing.

For example, Beyonce, she has always been known for her wonderful stage performances. In fact, her solo album sales can only be said to be the forefront of the first echelon, but it is still slightly inferior to Adele; when it comes to concert calls Li, she is the absolute queen of the North American tour box office.

In other words, the hot news that appears in entertainment news headlines is still a minority after all; and most singers need to fight the attendance rate. As long as the tour attendance rate exceeds eight, the achievement can often be called a success, sold out, and no tickets. Words such as, snapping up and so on have nothing to do with them.

This is the general normal.

The topic, back to the King of One Day.

Before the "departure" tour, the largest venue for the King's one-day tour was 3,000 people. The joint performance with the Shining Band, after the Grammys, most cities can be sold out, even if not, the attendance rate is 9 Above success, this also means that the tour is continuing to make money.

But it doesn’t make sense to discuss the time when the tickets are sold out. In many cases, even if you arrive at the concert on the same day to buy tickets, there are still tickets left.

Even so, the one-day tour of King and Shine is still a success, which makes Atlantic Records very satisfied.

This time, for the first time, the King One Day picked the leader to start the tour, and the box office appeal is also a test to measure the recent high popularity and hot topics.

On May 6th, the "Departure" tour officially opened online ticket sales.

After discussion and adjustments, Atlantic Records finally decided on a six-month tour plan for 25 cities, one less Miami than the original plan, but it still retains the performance plans for the two major cities of Los Angeles and Chicago. And it has also been upgraded.

Initially, the performance venue in Los Angeles chose the Greek Theater near the Griffith Observatory, which can accommodate 7,000 spectators, but it is now adjusted to the Nokia Theater, which has held multiple Emmy awards and Grammys. , It can hold about 20,000 people in holding a concert.

Although it is not the top and most famous Staples Center, it still ranks among the first-line performance venues in Los Angeles, and the entire level has been upgraded.

The same is true in Chicago.

The performance venue has been upgraded from the Chicago Theater, which can accommodate 8,000 people, to the prestigious United Center Stadium. It is widely known as the home stadium of the NBA team Chicago Bulls and is also one of Chicago’s most famous performance venues, which can accommodate 21,000. People around.

Of course, the top concert venue in Chicago is the Soldier Field, home of the NFL team Chicago Bears. It is a large venue that can accommodate 50,000 to 70,000 people. Top superstars dare to challenge it, but the United Center Field is already It is the stage where first-line singers can be on the stage.

Except for Los Angeles and Chicago, the performance venues in the other 23 cities are all ten-thousand-thousand venues. Only these two top cities, whose scale has risen to 20,000-thousand class, have completely different specifications and treatments. Can directly see the strong confidence of Atlantic Records——

Big cities are equipped with big venues, and more far-reaching and broader markets are facing fiercer competition~lightnovelpub.net~ But Atlantic Records still believes that the king’s market appeal can get more room in big cities, even in bands. For the first time, a venue of this level was arranged for a performance by a single leader.

At the same time, each city has two performances on Friday and Saturday, which means that fifty performances are required within six months, which is a severe challenge to the energy and physical strength of the members of the King’s Band in one day. The test, including the entire tour team also put forward strict requirements.

Now, just look at the box office of the King’s first solo tour in One Day. Will the hard work of the staff be rewarded?

However, expectation is only expectation. It is a mule or a horse. After all, you still need to take a stroll to know the result.

Online ticket sales have officially opened, and the knights have purchased tickets as soon as possible. After all, the number of performances in their city is limited, and they can freely choose the area and location they want by buying tickets. The earlier you start, the more you have an advantage.

In less than four hours, the Washington Field had already announced that the tickets had been sold out.

what?

Wait, what!
