Chapter 1654 1654 Three hours
October 25th is an ordinary and unusual Friday, because it is just the most ordinary year in 1996, with no holidays or anniversaries; it is unusual because the "Storm and Storm" world tour will kick off today, not only ringing the tour alarm clock of glory to death, but also heralding the ultimate battle of the War of the Century is about to be staged.
Since the official announcement of the daily tour of the Glory to Death on the scene, North America has been in a depressing agitation. This restlessness continues to surge with the advancement of time, and the first eruption was ushered in on October 18, which also allowed all media to truly see the explosive power of the young volcano and the influence of Glory to Death today.
October 18th is the day when tickets for the "Storm and Rain" World Tour Concert will be released. The first batch of tickets for Los Angeles will be sold for two games on the 25th and 26th. But no one will forget that the venue in Los Angeles is the Rose Bowl, which can accommodate 105,000 people!
This means that the first batch of tickets will be as many as 210,000!
Because the Maracana Stadium was included in the tour scope, people's eyes were turned to this world Guinness Record venue. But in fact, the first performance of this world tour was a large venue of 100,000 people. There are only a handful of top stars who are qualified to hold concerts in the Rose Bowl. Whether the market appeal of glory to death can meet the standards of the Maracana Stadium, perhaps the sales of the Rose Bowl tickets will give clues.
Two days in advance, there was a long queue at the entrance of the Rose Bowl, and there were long queues at the other twenty-five ticket sales points in Los Angeles. Such a noisy grand occasion even surpassed the first day of the Battle of the Century!
Because people know that there is no problem in buying singles at any time or anywhere, and there is no upper limit on the sales of singles; but the concerts are different. Although this glory-to-death world tour will last for six months and spread all over the world, Los Angeles only has these two Rose Bowls. If you miss this stop, you must go to other cities to join this carnival. You must not lose your chances and never come again.
Two hundred thousand tickets sound like a huge number, but in fact, for the more than 12 million people in the Greater Los Angeles area, it is not worth mentioning at all, and it will be sold out in a blink of an eye.
So, forty-eight hours ago, someone had already set up tents at the entrances of each ticketing site, just to be able to buy tickets as soon as possible, and not to miss the concert of Honor to the Death. Even though there were twenty-six ticketing sites in the entire city of Los Angeles, and there were thirty-eight ticketing sites in the entire Greater Los Angeles area, there were still crowds at each ticketing site.
Taking the Rose Bowl as an example, the team gathered more than 5,000 people in just 48 hours, surrounding the entire building and blocking it, making people feel confused and reminded of the grand occasion of the World Cup held here two years ago. However, compared to the situation at that time, today it is not just the Rose Bowl, but the whole city is boiling.
Even at the farthest ticketing site from downtown Los Angeles, at least a thousand people gathered at the door. The magnificent scene not only easily exploded the grand occasion of the "Road of Glory" tickets when it was launched three years ago, but also easily exploded the first day of the battle of the century a month ago, and also easily exploded the movie viewing wave of the first week of "Independence Day" three months ago, making Los Angeles, the second largest city in North America, completely reach a boiling point and blow up like a volcano.
Before the official ticket sales started at 9:00 am on the 18th, people had already predicted that the ticket sales would be very terrifying, but when the time came to be exactly 9:00, the sales frenzy still shocked everyone.
In just three hours, only three hours, the two Rose Bowl concerts sold out in total 210,000 tickets!
Such sales speed directly shocked the world! Although people have already guessed that the sales of concert tickets from Honor to Death should not be a problem. The Rose Bowl is a venue of 100,000 people. No matter how difficult it is to sell, it is not the same level as the Maracana Stadium. Moreover, with the current appeal of Honor to Death, the Rose Bowl, as their birthplace and home court, has no doubt that the attendance rate of the Rose Bowl is as their birthplace and home court; but in just three hours, the tickets were sold out? Such speed can no longer be described as horrible, it is simply a miracle!
As one of the largest concert venues in the world, the Rose Bowl can be said to be one of the top performance venues besides the Maracana Stadium, and it is also one of the most difficult performance venues. It is a venue that has held the World Cup finals, with a total of 105,000 people. For any singer, being able to stand here is already the ultimate challenge for his whole life. As for the Maracana Stadium, it is not directly a height they can imagine.
There are 105,000 people per show, and 210,000 tickets in two days and two shows. Although it is nothing under the base of 10 million people in the Greater Los Angeles area, only a small number of listeners who are willing to arrive at the scene to watch the concert are even fewer, and those who are willing to queue up at the door within 48 hours in advance with a tent are even more rare.
So, if 210,000 tickets can be sold, this is a feat. Even top-notch existences like Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, and Michael Jackson can't be fooled in the North American market now and say that 210,000 tickets can reach 100% attendance in two days, and if they can exceed 90%, it can be considered a successful concert.
But now, the first stop of the world tour from Glory to Death is not only sold out, but also within just three hours!
It can be compared. The "Road of Glory" tour of Glory to Death was chosen in Los Angeles. The venue can accommodate 17,000 people, hold two games in total, with nearly 35,000 tickets. It took three days to announce the sale of Glory to Death. For a fledgling band, such results have been very strong, which has attracted a lot of exclamations from the media.
Similarly, to compare it, the Oasis Band was forced to die not long ago, most of the venues selected were venues of 10,000 people, and ticket sales were basically completed within five days, with an attendance rate of 80%. This can be said to be excellent for a British rock band, and even in the United States, it is considered an outstanding level of first-line singers. If the Gallagher brothers had not spoken wildly, the sponsors would not have withdrawn their investments at all, and their tour could have been carried out.
So what about glory to death now?
Three hours, one hundred and eighty minutes, thirty-eight tickets, and 210,000 tickets. After comparing this set of data, it became more and more terrifying. Even though we had just experienced the craze of the War of the Century a month ago, everyone had a clear understanding of the powerful appeal of glory until death, but at this moment, people were still shocked again.
What's even more terrifying is that when all ticket sales were announced, the enthusiasm of fans was still not satisfied. A large number of fans gathered in front of the Rose Bowl Square, many of whom were told that the tickets had been sold at other ticket sales sites, and they rushed to Rose Bowl to buy tickets with a glimmer of hope, but the ticket sales of Rose Bowl have also come to an end. These fans all gathered and strongly called for the temporary addition of the national audience to allow Glory to die until his death on the 27th day, and add another performance in Rose Bowl.
Such a call quickly received responses from many fans!
Although Glory will go to San Francisco, Las Vegas, Seattle and other cities to hold tours, these cities are not far from Los Angeles, especially San Francisco, California is also the only state in North America that has arranged two cities, which shows how Glory pays attention to the California market; but even so, fans are still unwilling to give up because they clearly know that when Glory leaves this city to die and heads to the next city, ticket sales will still be so crazy. They need to stay in Los Angeles to die and add to the event. They need to let the glory to die world tour open its first stop with the most shining, hottest and most beautiful posture.
The young volcanoes in the entire Greater Los Angeles area took action, and this action was supported by many people at the first time, such as Tom Hanks, "The last time I missed the concert of glory to death, and this time I missed it again. God, Colin has been completely disappointed with me, and I need another chance to make up for it. Of course, if Hugo was willing to give me four tickets, I would be very happy to accept it."
Only Tom Hanks, Johnny Depp, Tom Cruise, Tim Robbins, Jack Nicholson, Al Pacino and others all expressed in public that they hoped that Honor could play in Los Angeles until death because they didn't have time to buy tickets, and the fans' buying frenzy was too hot.
EDA Records and the Los Angeles office in Los Angeles were quickly surrounded by fans, holding up the "added" sign and conveying their ideas in the most direct and enthusiastic way.
This is a rare scene in the history of the tour. Maybe the Beatles experienced such treatment and the concert itself has not yet begun. People have not yet appreciated the excitement of the performance. Just because the tickets were sold out, the call for the extra show has already arrived. This not only shows the popularity of Honor until death, but also shows people's trust in Honor until death: everyone is firmly convinced that Honor until death will not disappoint their expectations!
Finally, the live country was forced by the enthusiasm of the fans and officially announced that on October 27, the first tour of Honor until death in Los Angeles was added.
What's even more incredible is that the 105,000 tickets added were officially launched on the 20th, but they were announced to be sold again within just one hundred minutes!
Chapter completed!
