2007 My Chem Aussie tour.

Frankie-Oreo:

im not saying it sucked, it was the best concert ever. i just prefer bigger venues.
like i loved loved loved the tivoli. so so good.

In my opinion, smaller shows are better because it's more intimate, and the band can muck around onstage a lot more than if they are play ing a bigger venue.

yeah, i agree.
i like smaller venues.

if we're talking about MCR when it comes to small gigs, we're not gonna be getting many more of them. they're HUGE now. dammit.

I prefer smaller venues too. I totally adore festival hall, I know its super scummy, but its a really good shape because you can see really well and feel like your close even if you're right at the back.

I would go see them in Brissy what is the capacity for the Tivoli??

I think there was over 1200 people at the Tivoli for the MCR show.

Shit hey so many people ahhh scary. Thats where Silverchair will be playing their frist concert for their tour

^ It's 1700.

It's surprised Silverchair aren't playing at the Convention Center. That's where MCR will be playing when they come back.

Is it? How do ya know that

Because after the Tivoli, the next place up is the Convention Center.
To break even for the Convention Center, you need to sell at least 60% of the tickets there.
Convention Center = 6000 capacity I believe.
Two (SOLD OUT) nights at the Tivoli = 3400 people.

Basically, they can sell 60% of the tickets at the Convention Center easily, so they'll be playing there next time.

wow. you've thought about this, ey?

It's 4000 at the convention centre (according to Cam). So obv. they'll be able to break even, but who knows, by the time they come back, their sucess could have died down a little.

sez:

We know this cause we were talking to this guy that runs the tivoli before the first brisbane show.

From a tour promoter's point of view, to break even at the covention centre, you need to sell 60 percent of tickets, (and that's just a basic show, with the screens, lights, and equipment. With all that added stuff MCR are doing on their current tour, obviously they'll have to sell more tickets). So if you're unsure if you'll have enough people to break even, you go with two nights at the tivoli, because you'll def. be gaining money while playing to approx. the same amount of people as you would at the convention centre or whatever it is.

double post.

How much would a ticket cost for their concert

I wouldn't be surprised if next time they hit around $65 or more. Big bands these days are usually around $80, aren't they? How much were FOB? Plus My Chem have all that pyro stuff to cover the cost of blahblahblah...

I remember their first shows here were under $35 /whinge

hey anyone got any clue on numbers for Sydney shows?
it will majorly suck if MCR turned into those couple of thousand audience bands. (i want to keep them to myself...mwahaha)
i pray they'll never turn into anything like U2 (they won't i swear but who knows the future). It's useless sitting a whole street away.

oh, i remember too. i'm not paying $65 to see MCR, $50 was max. unless you know, they do a brilliant live show with lights and smoke and...lasers and blood and cobwebs and stuff. actually, if they did that, tickets would be a little more that $65

but yeah. from the show i went to this year at festival hall, it wasnt that spectacular

i hate emos:

Depending on venue, I wouldn't be surprised if at some point in the future My Chem was MORE than that.
Pretty much it happens with, the more people you perform for, the higher your insurance costs go, which pretty much sucks ass.
But I'd definately pay that to see My Chem, I mean hell, I paid 80 something to see NIN this year, why not for my actual favourite band?

Yeah i would pay that to see them too. Its only like a couple hours work im willing to do that for a mad shit concert

I don't care how much it costs.

If they are coming around oct-nov, when do you think they will announce tour dates?

yeah, i'd definitely pay too...
i've no idea when they'd announce it really...

...MCR already are a "couple of thousand audience band". Sydney shows were 5000 and 3500, Melbourne was 4500.
