Yeah that can definitely do ballparks and the billing would probably be exactly how you listed it: Panic closing, 1975 opening.
Ticket sales-wise, if it wasn't catering to mainly a younger fanbase, it might do better. That bill couldn't get away with charging $300 for the floor because they'd be alienating the majority of the crowd. Also, they would be wise to put one of those local ALT station bands on as an opener (Fitz & The Tantrums, Grouplove, X Ambassadors, etc.)
Floor would easily be in the $150-200 range. Two years ago I paid $92 plus fees for TOP floor and $75 plus fees for Panic floor. I personally think TOP would headline with Panic! Opening and then 1975...but I also know nothing about 1975 so take that for what it’s worth. I feel like TOP arena shows sell out in minutes. I don’t think we can say that for the other two. I don’t think Panic sold out the arena show in CLE last winter.
Crazy to think about the fact that you could buy two floor tickets for under $100 to see Fall Out Boy/Panic/Twenty One Pilots back in 2013
I think this website thinks 1975 is way bigger than they actually are Panic and TOP I don't know who would headline personally. TOP might actually be slightly bigger but hard to tell
TOP is still big, but they arent as big as they were during the Blurryface cycle. Panic, on the other hand, is at their peak popularity right now. Top 10 hit, featured on a Taylor Swift song that was absolutely massive, and just finished up a massive arena tour (sold out 4 arena shows in NYC, don't know about other markets). Plus they have a 15 year old legacy. Which is why I think Panic would for sure headline.
If it were to happen, I imagine that each band would get the same set time and the order of who played would rotate from date to date
I meant TOP headlining with Panic opening for them AND THEN 1975. So essentially 1975 first, then Panic then TOP closing. I realize Trench wasn’t as crazy successful as Blurryface but I’m fairly certain TOP is selling out arenas all over the world in like...minutes. I cannot say the same thing for the other two bands. Panic is at the height of their popularity and have the 15 year history, but they aren’t selling tickets as fast as TOP
Some people definitely think The 1975 are bigger than they are. They aren’t a festival headlining band (I mean top 4 headliner) whereas both Panic and TOP are. They played a 5,000 capacity venue here in December (Chicago) and it didn’t sell out right away. I think the order would go Panic, TOP, The 1975.
