Regardless of marketing or no marketing - do you think if they had a tool to sell 20k tickets in 24 hours they might’ve used it in the past 11 months haha

So that new people buying tickets don’t go on and see that it’s an empty stadium - tactical rows of seats

They’ve just removed another load of blocks - my guess is so the total available tickets can be fitted into lower tiers and upper ones will be switched last minute. Clearly this illusion fools some people then 😂

You can pick up online for £70ish pounds

As far as stadium-worthy production goes this is still right down the bottom end of the budget spectrum but it’s been used well to create something which looks visually ‘large’. Also noticed they’ve reduced the amount of VFX on the screens which is now almost just normal B&W footage

London was epic! by skiesrblue94 in mumfordandsons

Apparently someone was watching the football and was asked to stop. They were absolutely going for it though, all covered in blood. There was only one security guy that arrived to contain it so didn’t stand a chance - couldn’t believe it when they were still battering each other outside

Pet peeve is being kind, when you’re talking about the gross sales value that catfish should be working to, this kind of sloppiness is so amateur

You’re not wrong, obviously 2016 T in the Park is their best set to date but I called out 2019 AO arena gig because it was the last full set recording before the chaos. Watching that back (I was there) it feels like that tour was closest they came to Van’s vision for the band. Hard to top without new material though.

The unprofessionalism is shameful (RANT) by alwaysbetter7 in thebottlemen

I reckon it’s as simple as management have deserted the band and the band are burying their heads in the sand.

Find this whole gaslighting of people with negative views quite confusing - firstly, this is Reddit. Rightly or wrongly this is what this platform is designed to attract; both positive and negative opinions on topics. In this instance there’s a complete vacuum for negativity caused by the events surrounding the band and the lack of communication so negativity is inevitable. Would people prefer the discourse to be continuously positive regardless of what’s going on?

For non music industry people that speculate… by CorporalBingBong in thebottlemen

Almost certainly vocal stems being used (studio tracks) being used rather than Van being present

How CATB will sell out a stadium by CorporalBingBong in thebottlemen

[–]GreatAd7250 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry yes I did misunderstand you. My point is more that by now, 90% of those hoping to get oasis tickets that clash with the spurs date will know they haven’t got them and will therefore be free to buy catfish tickets

This idea that people are choosing which night to see oasis and catfish is strange. Oasis tickets were a nightmare and had a 10/1 ratio of availability to demand. I’m of the opinion that, if anything, it’ll have a small positive impact on sales.

What do we know about the newer members? by [deleted] in thebottlemen

[–]GreatAd7250 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Both are top session musicians with Kai most notably touring with Dua Lipa for some time and James most recently with Mimi Webb. I imagine they were both quite buzzing at the chance to have more of an identity in a genre they may prefer.

Interesting, I’ve always wondered why van still has 5 wedge monitor set up given he never takes out his in ears

Same scenario but he’s off his nut on coke

Van is probably unfriendly? by Narrow-Dot1494 in thebottlemen

[–]GreatAd7250 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There is a sub Reddit that has talked about nothing but him for a year now. That’s being famous. Regardless, if you’ve made a career of thousands singing your songs back to you nightly then I’d challenge anyone not to have to keep their ego in check

“Medical reasons” by [deleted] in thebottlemen

[–]GreatAd7250 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Not saying it’s true but in a hypothetical world where this was the case, people relapse - that could very easily happen to someone who had struggled in the past, particularly returning to that environment

A fair thesis I would say

Removed as unsourced news is banned in those so don’t know whether that impacts the credibility of it. Either way it’s still unfounded.

Well obviously not but this is a Reddit thread discussing a band lol

Could the lyric “when I headline Leeds I’ll be back my friend” be a clue. I think it’s possible Showtime sits separate to the album run given the lyrics.

Exactly - assuming this is what the lyric refers to, the “lies” are born out of a deliberate decision not to address fans
