Just saw this, will definitely hit that London date, tickets dont seem to be up yet though. Very curious to see what attendance will be like. Specially as its the only UK show, i wonder how many will travel from other cities for it. London is less than an hour on the train for me so easy to get to.
"Tickets on sale March 9th at 10 AM CET. Info and details will be released in the next days.
VIP Upgrades will also be available, including:
First entrance to the venue
Laminate pass
Solo polaroid with JILUKA
Limited-edition present
Merchandising will be available for purchase and fans will have the chance to participate in a lottery to win special prizes and polaroids with JILUKA after the show."
I suppose it’s because anime cons already have a built in audience, many have been working with Japanese bands for about 20 years now, they typically have built in accommodations, less guesswork with the time and length of set as the convention has already set aside the time and stage for your set. Plenty of space to sell your merch.
I’d be curious as to how many of the audience for Jiluka in Atlanta and Xaa Xaa in DC were those who arrived just for them vs incidental anime fans who decided to opt in for tickets.
You do know it’s not the band or their management who pays for the venue hire right? As i mentioned before itd be the local booking agents/promoters who have agreed to host the show who would take care of that so my point still stands… I know in VK some bands do host shows themselves and such but am thinking in the case of a world tour this would not be at all feasible.
