What do you mean?

Some of the venues aren’t too bad as far as sales go but their are some that are down right ugly looking. Even for it just being the first day

Well, if hella mega expensive shows don't sell well there's hope that next tour won't be as hella mega expensive, so I don't see it as a problem from our perspective

Are you just refering to the US shows?

 

People in Europe, how have your shows sold? As far as you can tell

[purplebenny]

Seems to have sold very very well in Europe.

 

america, with those ticket prices, it wouldn’t surprise me if it sold badly

For Paris (the first show), the queue was 40 min long on the webstore presale. I had to pass via the Fall out Boy+Weezer fan link to get to buy a standing ticket lol. I don't understand anything to their queue system. And yesterday, day of the opening of the regular ticket sale, there were posters in the good old subway, which is cool  but I think the poor people who tried to buy a ticket after that have been dumped lol

Antwerp was sold out in less then 5 minutes for the regular prices there are JUST Mega (expansive) packages left

i had to get tickets from a resale site for Huddersfield just 10 mins after they went on sale there were none available. I was disappointed there  weren't a few more venues rather than just London or Huddersfield in England.

They’ll probably do Glasto Sunday

[Janie2009]

I was lucky enough to get great seats for Huddersfield hours after they had sold out. Why they released them late I don't know but they had quite a lot of them in kb04 £85+fees.

Thanks all, almost a million tickets sold in the first 24 hrs! 

[BilIie Joe Armstrong]

lol you're welcome I guess

Do you guys think they're gonna add more shows in Europe?

Maybe some more festivals? They've only announced two so far.

I suppose another factor with the US, apart from the huge prices, is that there's like 20 shows... so maybe they're bound to sell slower than in Europe. Although.... one state over there is the size of England haha

Yes

The Atlanta show is the one I'd be going to, but I'm not sure.  

I've seen Green Day.  I've seen Weezer.  Fall Out Boy are alright, but seeing them isn't really a priority. 

While the combination of all three IS very tempting, I'm just not sure if I want to fork over that kind of money for it.  If I hadn't already seen two of the bands, oh yes.  This would be a dream come true and I'd snatch up a 300-400 dollar seat and rock out.   

Hmm, Hmm.

The amount of promotion this tour is getting is astronomical. Yesterday, I had a 5 hour drive home from Thing 2's soccer game. In that time, I heard it advertised at least every 15 min on multiple different radio stations. Lithium played 3 songs each from Whiskey A Go Go (I was shocked and disappointed at how awful Rivers Cuomo sounded live). Lithium deemed this weekend Hella Mega weekend.

I also so at least 5 billboards advertising it.

I would love to see some promotions around here too but unfortunately Toronto is the only Canadian City to receive the Hella Mega Tour. Since the announcement I didn't heard of anything in the radio or tv.

Curious about this as well considering Bill’s post above about number sold in first 24hrs...

Have you guys looked at the seating charts on Ticketmaster since the shows have gone on sale? Some of them are doing pretty good. But Miami, Jacksonville, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Houston, and Dallas look bad. I’m not sure about the ones sold on other websites.
