    I don't think the existence of a verified fan pre-sale necessarily means a tour/show is expected to have high demand (I've seen plenty of shows do it that didn't sell out), it's also a matter of just locking up a segment of the inventory and keep them off the secondary market.

    Yeah, at least in Cleveland, I have a hard time seeing Jew and Third Eye Blind selling out Nautica (5,000) but who knows? JEW barely sells out (if at all) House of Blues (1,200) when they come around here.

    He Is Legend deserve so much better than opening for MMF

    They debuted in the top 4 of the Billboard 200 in 2014. The new album didn't chart at all. So yeah this sounds about right.

    I saw Jimmy Eat world on their 2018 tour and while they packed a 2,500ish venue here in a Chicago, I don’t think it officially sold out. I think they will struggle to fill some of these amphitheater’s. I mean to the casual music listener, Jimmy Eat World are a one hit wonder and those people won’t pay money just to hear The Middle. I don’t think there’s as high a demand for this as they say lol.

    MMF is obviously nowhere near as popular as they used to be, but that tour to me looks like less a reflection of that, and more like just a smart run to do in between other things. Short length, regional, relatively small drives, small venues they can easily fill, low overhead.

    My friends were opening for them on a headline show about a year ago and there were 7 people in the crowd.

    They deserve more, that's sure, but i think they should go with bands that draw people

    i don't think there's a scene that HIL easily fits in for them to pick bands to play with outside of ETID/NJ, and it seems like they've exhausted that well

    i'd love for them to tour with just straight up mainstream rock bands but i don't think that would happen either

    He Is Legend should tour with bands like Clutch and Corrosion Of Conformity. Their southern rock/metal tinged stuff seems like something fans of those bands would enjoy. They really haven't fit in with any Metalcore or Hardcore bands in a long time.

    I am confused...this seems like an odd thing to lie about but the pictures do not lie. The ticket page was literally just screenshotted by me, and no, this isn't a case of more tickets having been released. Are This Wild Life/Sleep On It popular enough to fill a ~300 capacity venue three months in advance? I know it's a hometown show for Sleep On It, but I'm suspicious...

    I just tried to buy some, and it capped out at 5 tix, when the actual cap is 6-per-household, so even if it's not sold out rn, it will be very soon. Act fast y'all.

    They recently toured with Sevendust, Nonpoint, and GWAR. That's pretty mainstream rock to me.

    Things have changed.

    Honestly, who cares?

    I saw far more This Wild Life shirts at Warped last year than I expected to. I think they're more popular than most of us here (myself included) realize.

    What's confusing is that KickstandProductions always posts in the event page when tickets are running low (usually when there are 50 tickets left or less) and they have not done that, but they postec it for a few other shows today in their event pages.

    The Pittsburgh date of TWL sold out over a week ago. Granted, the venue is maybe 200 capacity, but yeah.

    Looks like a simple case of the original ticket inventory selling out, one of the bands saying so, and then some holds released a week later.

    Looks like a simple case of a promoter that handles hundreds of shows across multiple venues being a human and just overlooking something they typically do.
