If an artist is not doing a 360 degree stage for their concerts they're not selling out the total capacity of seats

you can chill your infuriated ass, touring data will eventually post the attendance numbers and concert gross for each stop

Don’t be dumb that’s not how it works. No one wants to watch a performer from the back. You make no sense.

I do think many stadium concerts don't use full capacity, mostly its for sports events. Feel free to correct me anyone

Great informative thread 👍

Every time you think your serving but you never are aren’t you embarrassed

And what misinfo were blinks spreading do tell

what? what would anybody use the back?

thats reserved for sports (from what I know)

in bp case, the capacity occupied comes from the stadium itself as every stop they had has post about it in news sites (bc bp concerts in general case a lot of traffic in said countries)

THere are acts that do 360 stages.. ed sheeran is another... ie there is no "back" cause the acts can freely move all around and face which ever way they want

another example of a 360 stage: IU in KSPO dome

Kpop usually doesn't which cuts off some of the capacity from the capacity listed for matches for whatever sport is played in said stadium

Okay some artist have done that, (I know already Adele) but saying an act didn’t sell out their concert because they aren’t pulling a 360 concert is dumb. I guess Taylor and Bey didn’t do it.

That's not what OP meant from the way i read it... they just mean that using capacity listed on wikipedia is wrong cause it is all dependent on stage set up.

Kpop acts tend to have bigger stages due to choreo etc and being groups (so more people needed to be on stage). Or for example, BTS will lose some "capacity" during their Sofi/Allegiant Stadium days because they need more space also for stuff like the trolleys going around the stadium on the floor. If an act doesn't have that, they'll have more space on the floor to thus increase capacity.

So basically one can't know attendance of the shows until they've happened, which is normally reported through boxscores and through twitter accounts like touringdata..

thats all OP is saying imo,

I think someone's feisty over certain BTS shows not actually being sold out (regardless of stage configuration) and the fact that a certain group could potentially top them for single show attendance.

You're right in one sense, those capacity numbers you see for sports stadiums likely include all seats, so if a concert blocks off a bunch of them that are behind the stage, the actual attendance will be less than the capacity numbers.

But you're forgetting about field/ground level seating. Most concerts have thousands of seats on the ground fronting the stage. These are probably NOT counted in those official capacity numbers, they have to be added in.

My guess:

Actual concert attendance = Official capacity number + ground/floor level seats - seats blocked off behind stage

Make sure you pick the seats in the back when you go to a concert then, arguably the best seat in the stadium.

I like to see numbers for multiple days of concerts added
