Thursday / Touché Amore / Basement / Wax Idols / Cities Aviv Spring Tour Tour • Page 11

Yeah, I lucked out so hard on the entire 1st round schedule because I had conflicts with this Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and next Sunday night.

 

Venue tonight closed the balcony and split the floor between AA and 21+. Never seen this place so empty

 

That's crazy, but I'm not surprised. Tickets were expensive and this would have been better suited for the Wonder. Couldn't really force myself to pay 35 bucks for this unfortunately.

 

I'm lucky and got in free, as much as I love Touché and Thursday there was no way I was gonna pay $35 to sit through Basement. Wonder would have been the perfect size for this.

 

Petition for Andrew to play Thursday's Chicago show

 

Ticket prices are insane. $42 is a lot. I will probably still pay it tho.

 

This tour made me a big Touche fan. Had never listened to them until 3 days before my show and I haven't stopped listening ever since.

 

Has he not been on this tour either?

 

He's been on the tour. I think it was just a now petition.

 

Huh?

 

Joke petition

Typo in my other post lol.


Also, Andrew has been in Tucker's Instagram stories almost every day.

 

The show in Kansas City was moved from the 2500ish cap Midland theater to the 400 cap Record Bar... which honestly bums me out and makes me more excited. When I was at the midland a few weeks ago for Underoath they were selling tickets for Thursday Buy 1 Get 1 Free which seemed like a bad sign. I feel bad that these guys aren't getting the big crowds they obviously hoped for, but this tour was never going to sell out big venues across the country.

 

Sucks, but I thought that venue was too big when this was announced. I also thought it was too big for Underoath. How did that end up selling? Brand New is about the only band from this scene that makes sense playing there.

 

It was a BMTH headliner

 

Underoath were main support for BMTH. The show was completely sold out and was awesome. Underoath headlined there last year too on their reunion tour and while it didn't sell out it was a pretty good crowd.

 

Hate to say it but if they're drawing this poorly on this tour it probably does not bode well for the band's future

 

i'm curious how the west coast dates pulled for thursday

 

I'd like to imagine in big markets like NYC, Boston, Philly, LA etc this band can play 1500 cap venues but in a lot of the markets they're playing they probably should stick to 500-800

 

Whoever booked these shows is a fool tbh. The Philly show was at the Fillmore (2500 cap), yet their "final" U.S. show in 2011 was at the TLA, which is substantially smaller. They didn't get more popular in those five years.

Thankfully the Philly show did draw a decent crowd, but it's easy to foresee this doing poorly at similarly-sized places farther from New Jersey

 

I think the Cleveland date should've been at The Agora Ballroom. Like @JaytotheGee said a few days ago: Basement and TA don't really draw as well here as they do in a lot of places and I know that Thursday, sadly probably isn't the biggest draw on this bill in most places.

 

Beachland would have also been really tight and appropriate and maybe would have sold out

 

Beachland would've been sooooo tight. I think they could've sold that place out. Did TA sell out the Grog last Fall or no?

 

Beachland would have been nice. I saw them there in 2009. That was my first show in Cleveland actually.

 

Pretty sure ppl ITT or the band thread were saying they drew like shit in Cali and Portland

 

Wiltern wasn't sold out but it was packed. There was also a lot of younger people there specifically for TA and Basement and left before Thursday. I also noticed on the Wiltern website that they're under the same umbrella as a few other venues on the tour so the promoter probably had a deal in place with all the venues for the tour.
