Chapter 1654: Three Hours

72_72291 October 25th, it was an ordinary and unusual Friday, because it was only the most ordinary year of 1996, without any holidays and no anniversaries; Unusually, the "Tempest" World Tour is about to kick off today, which not only rings the alarm clock for the glorious to death tour, but also heralds the final battle of the battle of the century.

Since the official announcement of the Glory to Death tour routine, the whole of North America has been in a kind of suppressed restlessness, which has been surging with the advancement of time, and ushered in the first eruption on October 18, which has also allowed all the media to truly see the explosive power of the young volcano, and the influence of the glory to death now.

October 18 is the day of ticket sales for the "Stormy" World Tour, and the first batch of tickets for the 25th and 26th shows in Los Angeles will be on sale, but no one will forget that the venue in Los Angeles is the Rose Bowl, which can accommodate 150,000 people!

This means that the first batch of tickets will be as many as 210,000!

The "Stormy" World Tour has included the Maracanã Stadium in the tour, so people's eyes have been cast on the Guinness World Records venue, but in fact, the first performance of this world tour is a large venue of 100,000 people, and there are only a handful of top superstars who are qualified to hold concerts at the Rose Bowl.

Two days in advance, there was a long queue at the entrance of the Rose Bowl, and there were also a long queue at the entrance of the other 25 ticket offices in Los Angeles, so the noisy spectacle even exceeded the scene of the first day of the battle of the century!

Because people know that there is no problem in buying a single at any time and anywhere, and there is no upper limit to the sales of a single; But the concert is different, although this Glory to Death world tour will last for six months and spread to all corners of the world, but Los Angeles only has two Rose Bowls, and if you miss this stop, you will have to go to other cities to join the carnival. Don't miss the opportunity.

210,000 tickets may 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 the blink of an eye.

Therefore, forty-eight hours ago, people had already set up tents at the entrance of each ticket office, just to be able to grab tickets as soon as possible, and not to miss the glorious to death concert. Even though there are 26 ticket offices in the entire city of Los Angeles and a total of 38 in the greater Los Angeles area, the entrance of each ticket office is still crowded.

Taking the Rose Bowl as an example, in just 48 hours, the team gathered more than 5,000 people, surrounding the entire building, and the encirclement was so impenetrable that people were reminded of the grand occasion when the World Cup was held here two years ago, but compared to the situation at that time, today it is not only the Rose Bowl, but the whole city is boiling.

Even at least 1,000 people gathered at the entrance of the ticket office farthest from downtown Los Angeles, and the magnificent scene not only easily broke the grand occasion when the tickets for the "Glory Road" went on sale three years ago, but also easily exploded the frenzy on the first day of the Battle of the Century a month ago, and also easily exploded the movie-going wave in the first week of "Independence Day" three months ago, making Los Angeles, the second largest city in North America, completely reach the boiling point and blow out like a volcano.

The official ticket sales at 9 o'clock in the morning of the 18th had not yet started, and people had already predicted that the ticket sales would be very terrifying, but when the time came to 9 o'clock, the sales frenzy still shocked everyone.

In three hours, just three hours, a total of 210,000 tickets for the two concerts of the Rose Bowl were sold out!

Such a sales speed directly shocked the world! Although people have already guessed that the sale of concert tickets for Glory to Death should not be a problem, the Rose Bowl is a venue of 100,000 people, even if the sales difficulty is greater, compared to the Maracanã Stadium, it is not a level at all, and in terms of the current appeal of Glory to Death, there is no doubt that the Rose Bowl as their birthplace and home stadium, the attendance rate reaches 80%; But just three hours? Tickets sold out? Such a speed can no longer be described as terrifying, it is simply a miracle!

As one of the largest concert venues in the world, the Rose Bowl is arguably one of the most top-notch performance venues outside of the Maracanã Stadium, and one of the most difficult performance venues, a venue that has hosted the World Cup final with a capacity of 15,000 people.

105,000 people per show, a total of 210,000 tickets for two shows in two days, although it is nothing under the base of 10 million people in the greater Los Angeles area, but the audience who are willing to arrive at the scene to watch the concert is only a small part, and those who are willing to go to the door to line up within 48 hours in advance with tents are even rarer.

So, if 210,000 tickets can be sold, this is already a feat, even the top stores such as Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson, now in the North American market can not beat their chests and say that 210,000 tickets in two days can reach 100% attendance, and being able to exceed 90% can be considered a successful concert.

But now, the first leg of the Honor to Death world tour is not only sold out, but it was also in just three hours!

It can be made a comparison, the "Glory to Death" tour in Los Angeles chose the Hollywood Bowl, this venue can accommodate 17,000 people, a total of two shows, nearly 35,000 tickets, the original glory to death took three days to announce the sale. For a fledgling band, such a feat is already very strong, and it has attracted a wave of exclamation from the media.

Similarly, to make another comparison, most of the venues selected for the Oasis band's recently forced to die were 10,000 people, and the ticket sales were basically completed within five days, with an attendance rate of 80%. This is an excellent result for a British rock band, even in the United States, which can be regarded as an outstanding level of first-line singers. If it weren't for the Gallagher brothers' rhetoric, the sponsors wouldn't have divested at all, and their tour could have gone on at all.

And now glorious unto death?

Three hours, 180 minutes, 38 ticket outlets, 210,000 tickets. This set of numbers is even more terrifying when compared together, even though it has just experienced the craze of the battle of the century just a month ago, and everyone has a clear understanding of the powerful appeal of glory to death, but at this moment, people are still shocked again.

What's even more terrifying is that when all the ticket offices announced that the tickets were sold out, the enthusiasm of the fans was still not satisfied, and a large number of fans gathered in front of the Rose Bowl Square - many of them were fans who rushed to the Rose Bowl to buy tickets with a glimmer of hope after the other ticket offices were told that the tickets were sold out, but the ticket sales of the Rose Bowl had also come to an end. These fans all gathered and strongly called for a temporary addition of the live kingdom to Glory to Death on the 27th, and another performance at the Rose Bowl.

Such a call quickly received a response from many fans!

Although Honor to Death 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 for this Honor to Death tour, which shows that Honor to Death attaches great importance to the California market; But even so, fans are still reluctant to give up, because they know that when Honor to Death leaves the city and goes to the next city, ticket sales will still be so crazy, they need Honor to Die to stay in Los Angeles to add a show, and they need to make Honor to Death the first leg of the world tour with the most shining and hottest and beautiful attitude.

Young volcanoes from all over the greater Los Angeles area took action, and this action was immediately supported by many people, such as Tom Hanks, "I missed the last time I was in Glory to Death, this time I missed again, God, Colin has been completely disappointed in me, I need another chance to make up for it." Of course, if Hugo was willing to give me four tickets, I would be more than happy to accept them. ”

It's just Tom Hanks, as well as Johnny Depp, Tom Cruise, Tim Robbins, Jack Nicholson, Al Pacino and others, who have all said in public that they hope that Glory to Death can be added in Los Angeles, because they didn't have time to buy tickets, and the rush of fans is too hot.

EMI Records and Live Country's offices in Los Angeles were quickly surrounded by fans who held aloft signs saying "Extra" and conveyed their ideas in the most direct and enthusiastic way.

It's a rare sight in the history of the tour – perhaps the Beatles were treated like this – the concert itself hasn't even begun, people haven't even gotten a taste of the show, and the call for additional performances has already come just because the tickets are sold out. This shows not only the popularity of Glory to Death today, but also the trust that people have in Glory to Death: everyone is convinced that Glory to Death will not disappoint their expectations!

In the end, forced by the enthusiasm of the fans, the live country officially announced that on October 27, the first game of the Glory to Death tour in Los Angeles will be added.

What's even more incredible is that the 105,000 tickets for the additional show were officially on sale on the 20th, but they were sold out again in just 100 minutes!
