Yesss. Got tickets!

 

Tom is so excited about these shows selling out that he’s legit posting separate announcement posts on Instagram haha.

 

I wonder how many meet and greets are sold per show. 100? 200?
I've never actually done one so this is my first. Im only expecting to wait in a line, walk up to them, talk for 1 minute, take a photo, then there went my $200 LOL

 

Got my ticket for the Orlando date.

 

I heard 30 VIPs in Boston. So right around that mark. Hoping to get some blink stuff signed

 

You know, I was thinking about doing VIP to give David back an OG AVA guitar pick he gave me in 2006 at their first ever Chicago show. Then i realized I live in San Diego and can give it back to him anytime at his coffee shop. He’s always around and always chats with people. Super humble dude. $200 saved lol.

 

He probably booked small ass venues just to be like “SEE I CAN SELL OUT SHOWS!”

 

oh wow, thats low. i hope thats the case!

 

Probably had back up dates to add just in case they sold out too. Smarty pants.

 

I already have this blink stuff signed

 

Yeah I mean ... I definitely hope that’s the plan in Boston.

For Boston peeps, in holding out hope for a 2nd show on the 16th. They are off that night before NY on Tuesday. Also Paradise I don’t think has a show booked yet that night.

 

What's the average capacity for these venues? The NYC venue holds 2,100.

 

The Boston venue can’t be more than like 900 haha

 

Chicago is 1,400 and is coincidentally the same venue I first saw blink. 2003 on the Dollabill tour.

 

I remember first seeing AVA in 2006 at the Vic Theatre in Chicago. That was 1,000 people. Then they played an outdoor amphitheater that was between 8,000-9,000 capacity.

Now, HOB in San Diego is 1,000 for the main stage. Never realized how small it actually was. Makes sense as to why a ton of shows sell out there.

Stoked.

1,000 GA tickets get sold at a total of $56 total (with Taxes and fees) each. Thats $56,000 total for one night. I wonder how much the band will get from that after other parties get their cut.

 

I was at both of those Chicago shows in 2006! Great memories.

 

933 to be exact!

 

Yup. The original "There Is" speech came from that Vic show. It was great.

 

I'd say their guarantee is in the 25k - 30k/night range. Agents/managers take their slice of that, and then add merch on top of it.

 

What speech? I’m sure I’m thinking of the right thing but want to confirm.

 

I've had the mp3 of that speech/performance for like 12 years, never knew video existed!

 

Select shows will have more tickets released. Keep an eye out

 

Tom at the moment

 

I wasn't sure I was gonna go to this but it looks like I'm still a total sucker for Tom lol. Going to the MD show
