Jay Z tour flopping ? Tickets not moving... dates being cancelled

[Knucklehead]

LOL at the sadness of some people’s lives that they’re in here cheering supposed low ticket sales like Jay doesn’t already have the Live Nation money in his account.
Do something productive.
For fukks sakes.

4:44 is meant for smaller, intimate settings, with a live band it would be dope. The lyricism and production of this album and Jay's conversational rap style doesn't go well with these big ass stadiums.

Also, why is Jay only touring with Vic Mensa, he must really likes son as an artist.

I say Jay drop one more album at 50, and then retire.

To direct attention away from this thread the mods have pinned a video of jay-Z battling back in '93.

Not a fan of Jay-Z. But he made wise business moves an is worth millions upon millions. Then got a wife that has the same.

Thing is I find it extremely funny how the brokest people have so much to say. It never fails.

He is doing this shyt cuz he's bored at this point. It would be disappointing if he was broke and needed to tour. But that's not the case.

I didnt know opinions had a salary requirement

I don't know why he's try a make a stadium tour out of 4:44, it's not even that type of music. This is the shyt that makes me think JewZ is just a greedy money grubbing camel

If 4:44 don't scream small venue at a 100 a piece I don't know what does, let the fans meet you, make it a real social event. I'm not gonna sit in the rafters to hear this shyt

Act like he doesn't have 20+ years of hits to perform brehs.

Some of you sound like you've never been to a concert

But it's literally the 444 tour

I'm sure he's gonna do some other shyt, but im not tryna see him perform do it again live in 2017. Bulk of this is gonna be lounge music

When you make dumb ones they do.

 

[Sindicated]

I mean the ticket prices for his November show here in Houston is 39-200 so

Not a big fan but im sure he has more in his pockets then most brehs have in their entire checking, savings and 401k so who really lost.

Id pay 20 to see Jay live might even stay for Vic.

actually it's not....i saw the show, and while he does a good amount of cuts from the album: kill jay z, oj, 444, family feud (which sounds amazing and the best outta the new songs live), bam, moonlight, blu ivy verse, and 1 verse from smile...those only take like 20-30 mins, and the show goes for an hour and a half....meaning the other hour is all hits and album cuts from other albums...

as for the topic of the thread: i saw the show and it's fukking great, jay kills it....the man has hits upon hits that just knock live and you never get tired of.....also, he sprinkles in album cuts and rare shyt....ex: he did where i'm from, d'evils, and the pump it up freestyle verse over 'hovi baby' being played by the band live, just oh my damn.....also, the stage setup is nice as shyt....it's a rising/lowering platform in the middle of the arena, with 4 large double sided V shaped screens that hang above the stage...in between where the screens hang are lights, and all the shyt opens/closes like a prism throughout the show.....to start it off, the stage is raised and the screens are together 'hiding' him....

as for seats: the floor was sold out, and the majority of the arena was packed...i had a great fukking seat...5 rows from the floor, middle aisle, right next to the stage....cost $220 and was worth every penny...only negative about it was it was so far from the bar lol....

if you a jay and/or rap fan, i'd highly recommend going to the show...it's fukking great....and like always, he puts on a hell of a show...that's why i laughed at the thread with people talking about he's not a good performer....anyway, yea, def check it out if you can....

side note: the show proves how beat battles with big named producers (swizz, just, timbo, ye, neptunes/pharrell) would just become the jay show lol....i think people forget sometimes how many bangers he has with them....at this show, he just keeps going dropping bangers from them....

other side note: jay and ye might be the best duo ever....the songs he does that features both of them, just damn...and it really makes me want a watch the throne 2 album and more songs from them.....

vic is the opening act...he only goes for like 30 mins....his shyt knocks live.....think he should rap more instead of doing the rapping/singing mix he does.....

if you can get tixs to the show, you should go, it's a hell of a show and def worth it.....

[lutha]

aight, went back through the thread and all i can do is laugh.....'jay has lost the crowd'...'no one wants to hear 444 live'...'tixs for nas were $75, that's too much'....'nas tixs were at least $40'...just lol at those and other things said....

also, as for those trying to turn it into a jay/nas thing: please dont, that's not gonna go how you think....it'll just cause a lot of hurt feelings and people making up excuses/reasons why 1 of them isnt measuring up to the other....just appreciate both and go see both if you have the chance....

bit of an overreaction based on the Fresno cancellation.

Fresno's always had issues selling out tix for concerts. Several concerts got cancelled there. See what happens in bigger cities before judging whether tix are moving.

are LA and Vegas not big enough cities because they sales is trash too
