tour promotion and pricing?

[jenniferuk]

I'm pleased to see your post, so thanks for that, as I know you are knowledgeable about venues, tix, etc. I wasn't sure I could do any of these show (children, schedules, etc., don't permit much flexibility), but I hope to go to the newly added Ohio show. However...

I'm confused about tix, at $83.00, $72.00, $62.00, $51.00, $23.50 (McDonald's deal), will there also be Platinum​s or do we try from on sale time & hope for the best? Will it sell? Should I plan on scalped tix as my best option? For FM I often wait for drops, usually like to get row 4-6 centre, as I think the sound is decent & I can see JM, and for BuckVie I want close but doesn't have to be front row. Sales look slow at other venues though so will I get Tix or will scalpers get them..

And, more important, this lack of promotion is doing my head in. I posted elsewhere that I was confused as to whether or not the Wallflowers open all shows, as they play the Ohio venue the day after BuckVie, the tickets are already on sale for their show, and I've seen pop-up ads, yet all is quiet for BuckVie.

I share your wish for smaller venues. I'm so excited to see this show as it thrills me to see CM back writing, creating, working with LB, happy, but I wish they had better organised people on the social media /marketing front.
