Kpop Touring Pledge System (Feat. Secret Number)

Dreamcatcher started this a few months back, with the whole "Buy a $70 merch kit and whichever cities have the most merch kits purchased will get a tour visit". The merch kit includes a shirt that is ONLY in 2XL size (what are they implying about Insomnia?)

It's honestly an awful, awful precedent to start up.

do you know how it turned out?

like which cities were chosen or whatnot?

It runs until October this year so probably no announcements till late this year/early next

i'm not sure i like this system. it's better than dreamcatcher at least, f your city doesn't get selected your money will be refunded

I don't mind this. In fact, I've been thinking about a GoFundMe-style crowdfunding system for lesser-known artists wherein fans would pre-pay for a concert ticket, and if enough people pre-pay to make a concert profitable, then a show would be scheduled. If not enough people pre-pay, then all money would be refunded.

I dropped my 10 bucks.

Hopefully is not some scam and they try to steal my credit card information.

I imagine there would need to be some kind of fee to run this.

Maybe 95% of the money gets refunded.

If you're this unsure that people will show up to your tour, it's probably best to not even try it yet.

My city is winning, nice.

I think they are aware that there is demand but just how much and where that demand lies might be difficult to assess???

Are they? Enough to actually hold a tour? I'm not convinced, and it seems neither are they, hence this entire scheme. The groups that are confident in their touring ability don't have to put out feelers in such a public fashion.

#LOCKEY Has spoken and Round 1 top 3 cities are

Phoenix
Chicago
Denver

Second round now open, I guess it will be just a 6 city tour.
