Chance the Rapper - The Big Day (July 26, 2019) Album • Page 51

Seems like he's gonna start pushing Eternal

 

Eternal is probably my favorite on this. That and Always and Foreverare probably the only ones that I love

 

I was so excited for this, and I was just extremely disappointed. I listened to it fully twice in about a week when it first came out and I haven't come back to it since. I remember liking "Handsome" and "We Go High" but that was about it. I don't think it's a bad album, it's just that I (like so many others, it seems) hyped it up a ton and it just didn't deliver.

 

He postponed the tour

 

All dates? Wondering if Chicago is rescheduled too.

 

Wow, that sucks. At least he's already rescheduled the dates instead of pulling a Big Sean or Pusha T and just blaming it on scheduling and canceling everything.

 

Seems like Chicago isn't being pushed back

Tour — Chance the Rapper

 

It looked like barely any tickets were sold for the Cle show, which was originally supposed to be Nov. 2, I think.

 

Not surprised, those were ambitious venue choices and there’s like no hype behind this.

 

Just isn’t selling well. His hometown has tickets for $20 on stubhub

 

They removed the second Chicago show too, and it doesn't look like there's any plans to add another.

 

There’s barely any tickets sold for Houston

 

Definitely feel like the venues were too big but I think he also genuinely has a good excuse too

I'm looking forward to February 18 now

 

Meh, his "excuse" feels kind of insincere. Would he still be postponing if this tour was actually selling well?

 

I think a big problem is that the different players within the broader music industry haven’t quite figured out the way streaming success translates to actual mainstream popularity, ticket sales and so on. It’s not like the mostly simple formula that existed when it was all about CD sales. To me, it makes perfect sense that an artist like Chance couldn’t fill these venues, no matter how far streaming numbers push him up the charts.

 

Even when I was a big fan of Chance, I’m not paying 100 bucks to see him.

 

To be fair he did fill a few of these venues during the Coloring Book tour, I think the way higher price is the biggest factor to the low sales

 

Was hoping that the song would pop out a little more live but I thought the arrangement was a little busy and the vocals fell by the wayside a little until Smino came in and upstaged everybody.

 

weird, I thought it was a really great performance that made the song feel better than on record

 

Prices are being slashed for the rescheduled dates. GA is being split into GA1 and a less expensive GA2 option.

There’s also talk of them using reducing capacity at the venues by closing off upper level seating.

 

Now I'm fucking pissed I bought tickets for okay seats when I could have gotten GA tickets for less now

 

GA floor tickets in LA are 129 pre-fees, that's pretty crazy

 

$125+fees for GA 1 and $95+fees for GA 2 for my date
