The Swellers are currently on a co-headlining tour with You Me At Six. Drummer Jono Diener, who is also a Contributor to PropertyOfZack, recently wrote up a blog discussing the interesting topic of presale tickets in our music scene. Check out his words below by clicking “Read More.”

This is our first full scale A market (big cities) co-headlining tour and we’re incredibly fortunate to have at least 5 sold out shows so far!

While the shows are great and the vibe rules, we’re getting tons of tweets and Facebook messages of people complaining they can’t get into the shows or asking for guest list. Our response is asking them to please consider getting pre sale tickets next time.

Our genre of music is known for walk-up ticket sales at the door the day of the show, but what really helps us in every way is our fans investing in advance tickets. It guarantees them a spot at the show, the numbers show our booking agent and the promoter how the show will do while giving them more reason to get us bigger and better things, and on top of everything we get to get more of OUR fans into the show before it potentially sells out. The reaction the crowd gives reflects on how many people are there mainly for us which is obvious, and without you guys there due to not getting tickets before it changes the dynamic of our show or any band’s show.

This tour is cheap tickets and long set times from the bands so you guys get your money’s worth! It’s for you so we want to make sure you get in!

There are plenty of tickets for the rest of these shows so please check them out athttp://www.theswellers.com/tour

Remember, buying tickets is investing in the bands you love and placing a vote for the artists you want to succeed. Many people in the industry look at number and it helps us get better tours, higher slots on the shows and more money to invest in merch, paying rent and doing cool things in return for you guys.

Thanks for the support and I hope you think of all of this next time your favorite band announces a tour!
