The fans in China were ecstatic, unable to believe that Tawanna would be holding 20 concerts throughout the country this time.
The excitement on the internet reached a fever pitch, making the fan community even more vibrant. This news was beyond what they had anticipated.
Major cities across China were thrilled upon hearing the announcement of 20 concerts. Many city officials quickly reached out to Bruce Automotive to inquire about the company’s arrangements for these events, eager to host at least a few concerts in their respective cities. Such concerts would significantly boost the local economy, increase visibility, and enhance tourism.
As for the venue selection, Charlie was still mulling over the details. He took the opportunity to call Tawanna and inquire about the specifics of favonovel.com usual performances.
Tawanna explained to Charlie, “Mr. Wade, in recent years, my concerts have typically taken place in one city for several shows, followed by another city for several shows. This arrangement is due to the increasing technical demands of concerts…”
“Although each concert only lasts three to four hours, the preparation can take at least two to three days. If each of the 20 concerts were in different cities, the additional costs would be significantly higher. We would need to disassemble and transport our stage, sound, lighting, and other equipment 20 times, which is quite cumbersome.”
Continuing, Tawanna remarked, “Considering the current development in transportation and the global reach of ticket sales, frequent venue changes aren’t as problematic as they once were. Since we sell tickets online worldwide, most of our audience will be traveling from elsewhere regardless of the location. In light of this, It makes more sense to focus our performances in one place for several consecutive days, allowing us to dismantle and set up our equipment only once.”
Charlie then asked, “I remember that you previously chose only Singapore for your Southeast Asia concerts, right?”
“That’s right,” Tawanna confirmed. “At that time, the plan was to perform in just one location for the Southeast Asian tour, and we finally settled on Singapore after considering several options.”
Charlie calculated in his mind that if they opted for 20 concerts spread over ten to twenty cities, it could take over a hundred days to complete. For a star of Tawanna’s caliber, that would disrupt many other business commitments.
With that in mind, Charlie began to formulate a rough plan.
He proposed starting with four shows in Aurous Hill, followed by four shows each in Eastcliff, Lancaster, Newport, and Fairmont.
The cities favonovel.com selected were all transportation hubs in China. The primary advantage of such cities is their convenient transport links and broad reach. Since tickets were available to fans worldwide, transportation accessibility was a critical factor.
A significant number of attendees would likely travel from abroad, and these cities boasted international airports, making it easier for both domestic and international fans to attend.
Charlie shared his idea with Mr. Riley, who wholeheartedly agreed. Holding four consecutive shows would also increase resource efficiency.
Bruce Automotive promptly contacted the other four cities to confirm the feasibility of hosting performances there in the shortest possible time.
Shortly thereafter, Bruce Automotive officially announced the schedule and details of Tawanna’s tour in China. Aurous Hill would kick off the tour five days later, featuring four shows at the same venue with a one-day break in between, before moving to Eastcliff every four days thereafter. Subsequent performances would follow this pattern.
Simultaneously, several of the largest ticketing platforms began reaching out to Bruce Automotive, expressing interest in handling the ticket sales for these concerts. They even offered a substantial premium for the rights to sell tickets in a package deal, with offers reaching up to $200 million for a concert catering to 30,000 attendees.
These platforms could afford such high offers, which far exceeded standard box office revenue, because they acted as official scalpers. Once they acquired the ticket sales rights, they would undoubtedly strive to inflate ticket prices to the maximum.
Speculation erupted online regarding the ticket prices for this event. Drawing from numerous previous concerts, many believed this tour would undoubtedly set a new record for ticket prices.
However, Bruce Automotive soon organized a press conference to address these concerns.
During the conference, Mr. Riley answered questions about ticket sales from reporters gathered from all over the nation.
He stated, “The purpose of our collaboration with Miss Tawanna Sweet in organizing these 20 concerts is to enable domestic fans to experience the incredible performances of their idols up close. To prevent price Inflation and speculation, we have decided to implement a new ticket sales model.”
His announcement piqued the interest and curiosity of the media.
Many event organizers claimed to combat scalpers, but in reality, few took significant measures to do so. They often only attempted to reduce external scalping while retaining most of the scalper profits for themselves.
Some estimated that if these 20 concerts were sold through traditional methods, rife with skyrocketing prices and bidding wars, the total box office would reach at least $10 billion or more.
Everyone assumed that Bruce Automotive would not let such a lucrative opportunity slip away. However, Mr. Riley’s next statement left the media in shock.
He declared, “Bruce Automotive will partner with the Aurous Hill Notary Office to sell tickets for all 20 concerts via an online application and random lottery. Applications for all concert tickets will open tomorrow. Applicants must register their real names and attend the performance using their real names. We will announce the lottery results three days before each concert.”
“To ensure as many fans as possible benefit, applicants can enter for any or all of the 20 concerts, but they will only have one chance to win. If someone wins tickets to one concert, they cannot win tickets to any others.”
“All draws will be conducted fairly and randomly using a software program developed by Bruce Automotive. The software’s source code, the lottery‘s random logic, and the entire drawing process will be overseen by notary staff to guarantee no favoritism, fraud, or corruption.”
“Bruce Automotive pledges to fans everywhere that we will not sell any tickets for these 20 concerts to third-party sales platforms or individuals. Every ticket will be sold at its original price, with no additional charges.”
“Additionally, we encourage all sectors of society to monitor the entire ticket sales process.”
“We sincerely hope that through this open, fair, and just approach to ticket sales by Bruce Automotive, we can set a standard for other companies in the industry, and through this performance, we aim to put an end to the age of inflated concert ticket prices!”
