i’ve talked to a lot of fans and realized a LOT of people don’t know this the #1 best way to support a touring artist is to buy tickets to their headline show the amount an artist gets paid for future shows is almost 100% based off of how well their headlines do. their slots at music festivals are determined by it, the amount of production venues will provide for future shows is based on it if your favorite artist is playing a smaller/less popular venue, it’s because bigger better venues in the market don’t want to take a risk on an artist in that size yet. the ONLY way they will is if they sell it out so if you want your fav artist to play your fav bigger venue with better production, lineups, sound, etc - buy a ticket to their headline show even if it’s not your fav venue ALSO!!!!!! if you can afford it, buy tickets AS SOON as they go on sale. shows will get cancelled or moved if everyone waits till the day of to get a ticket. promoters get stressed and don’t know if the show will do well or not - artists too. the only way to know if you’re going to do well is by going off of pre sale figures. this is rly important hope this helps educate everyone! would love to answer any questions anyone may have :)
