  1. Sad for I-dle and fans, but fully deserved for ticketmaster. Things get worse before they get better.

    No official posts or anything right now which is insane! I was so looking forward to seeing them in LA since I bought VIP and was going to be traveling from Phoenix to finally see them. This is is really sad. Is the Ticketmaster monopoly charges affecting this I wonder? I know tickets were absurd for pricing and not too many sales. Was thinking they’ll drop prices over time since this would be still far out till late summer. Really depressing and frustrating.

  3. i imagine more low and mid tier groups will likely have to tighten their touring schedules for the next 1-2 years, as the cost of everything goes up (both air and ground travel) plus visa fees having increased in the US, margins are becoming even tighter for performers and their respective companies.

    all these costs are just too much, and these aren’t even all of them:

    for all staff and performers: visas, hotels, food, travel insurance + healthcare, planes, private scheduled cars to/from locations (with all but visa costs multiplying per tour stop), and on top of that, paying performers, backup dancers, makeup artists, managers, etc.

    for each venue: cost of booking the venue in the first place, transporting stage equipment and specialty props/costuming, insurance

    ** i am assuming this is a factor in i-dle’s case because it would make sense to cancel the lowest selling dates, but all of them? not even leaving in LA, NYC, etc? makes me think costs are also contributing.

    Does anyone know why? Another group canceled their US tour recently citing the unstable environment with the Iran/Israel/US craziness. Much smaller group than i-dle though. I really can’t blame anyone from staying away from the US right now.

  5. No official announcement, but still…

    Edit: Anyone know if Singapore or Hong Kong happen to use English translators?

  6. Tbh I feel like they’re perfect for theatres / smaller venues at least for NA. Unfortunate. Hope they don’t cancel Lolla

    Low sales from high prices is my guess. Selling nose bleeds at $100+ doesn’t make sense. If you’re gonna do an arena tour, you need cheap seats. Also, other groups like IVE, Mamamoo, BTS touring at that general time definitely play a role. 

    Resellers didn’t even buy up the tickets which was pretty telling.

    Didn’t Yuqi have a head concussion recently at some show? Is it cause of that?

  9. Ticket sales are too low I’m guessing. I’m so sad, I really wanted to see them perform live. I don’t live in a state where concerts usually go, so I spent some money to make the arrangements that are now not happening. 🙁

  10. To be totally honest?? The prices were faaaar too expensive. 300 level being 200? No

  11. kpop held out for longer than expected. The ecosystem of every kpop group touring every year while raising prices was unsustainable.

    The number of new groups coming out has definitely gone down, and I think we’ll start seeing companies cutting back on cb’s

  12. I was waiting till the date got closer before I bought my ticket. I think the prices were a little bit high for a group that is mid-tier or lower to American fans. The demand is not high for Idle.

    The stop nearest to me had a lot of tickets still available for sale. Diehard fans buying up front row seats while the rest of the venue is still 50-75% unsold is worrying.

    I just received the email. I had tickets to their NJ show but there were a lot of seats still
    Available… it’s hard there are a lot of groups touring and tickets are expensive.

    Concert tickets are insanely expensive here in the US and people can’t afford it anymore, especially with the cost of everything else being so crazy too. Companies got greedy with ticket price inflation after Covid.

    I’m not completely surprised by the fact that there’s a ton of pressure on wallets these days. Was checking their concert in Hamilton and there was a bunch of tickets available still up for sale.

  16. I was literally going to buy tickets today or tomorrow.. 😵‍💫😵‍💫 I really hope IVE doesn’t cancel their tour as well
