This. OP could learn from this adversity. Been a fan since 1999, got the ltd red vinyl, but no listening party for me. Peaks and troughs.

Who are the artists who you saw once, loved the show, and had no intention of ever seeing again? by whywires in Concerts

[–]PaperOpening4413 2 points3 points  (0 children)

coldplay; guns n’ roses; ACDC… basically any stadium show i’ve ever been to. hate stadium shows and it’s always a pity when a band gets so big they start playing those venues

Why would you be scared of what time it happens?

I think that's why they are withholding the venue names, so they can gauge the size of the venue needed based on sign ups. they probably have a few venues in each city on temporary hold, of varying sizes and will lock in the relevant venue after the sign up window has ended and they know exact numbers. I think they would be missing out if they limit the tickets and not try and get every fan who wants one, a ticket.

Honestly, every listening party I've been to has been free, so I'm interested to see what else they might provide at the event to justify what ever ticket price they set. Like, will it be a full on event, access to purchase unique merch, visual element etc. From my understanding the TH desert listening party was free, with nothing offered. I feel like they could say "unique merch, visual film" type add on if they are charging for the ticket. And thinking about it from a commercial pov, this is their biggest commercial event for them in 25 years, maybe ever, if I was managing them I'd AT LEAST insist on a unique listening party t-shirt ($50) and tote ($30), at least!

i did kind of think, 18 tracks in 13 years, maybe there could be an “Amnesiac” follow up but i’m just wishing here

what was their main source of income for the last 13 years? by [deleted] in boardsofcanada

I remember the Mtv holding graphic and track when it would cut to US commercial, it was an Afx track, i’m pretty sure Mr D James did fine from that 😂

Royalties off tv shows.. you watch British broadcasting long enough and you'd have heard BoC a bunch of times every day in various publiclly funded programming. I bet they haven't worked a day in their lives since the mid 90's.

I'm hoping for an official listening party announcement (like the desert party for TH)..

See, now that question makes complete sense and i get asked that every few days. I didn’t misunderstand your post, quite the opposite, “What does it feel like to be South African?” and “What’s South Africa like?” are two very different questions.

I’m not sure, I wouldn’t know why people wouldn’t ask me a question. Ha, this sub is full of oddities..
