Uhh, as much I love the girls, I can't say I'm in love with that idea.

^ Still not sold out.

what the heck.
i guess that happens with a predominantly youthful foreign audience...
but there hasn't been much promotion either, not even on j-melo.

@Celedam did Baby Metal sell out their concert?

If you try to buy tickets for the BABYMETAL show in L.A. on the AXS website, you get the following message:

There are currently no seats available

The show is not yet officially Sold Out and it is possible some seats become available again.

Select another event if possible.

Prices for BABYMETAL tickets on StubHub range from $277 to $800.

I still think the venue was a bad choice. It's why I'm not going.

Plus having to wait in a queue for most of the day while Times Square — Times Square! — is literally steps away.

Plus the practical issues of traveling to and around one of the largest and most expensive cities in the world… Not a huge problem for me, but possibly an insurmountable one for others, especially students — October is the middle of the autumn semester, after all — and younger workers who can't afford to take the time off.

Anyhow, for a fan like me who gets more enjoyment from what happens off stage than on, it all adds up to a big "meh."

Hmmm....

Idk what to say...You guys are quite lucky, but I wouldn't know if travel and whatnot is that much of an issue.
Most concerts I've been to have been standing, and somehow coincide when I'm busy with my studies, if thats really an issue?
Even then when there were seats, people would stand up in front of you, making everyone else stand the whole time.

I just think it'd be embarrassing if as a group known for their foreign activities didn't manage to sell tickets to their own foreign concert.
But hopefully everything goes well. Get your family, and friends on it you lucky ones.

Priorities, dude. Believe it or not, some people do have lives outside of this fandom. I know it's corny to say so, but when you're older, you'll understand. At some point, your identity is no longer determined by your pop culture.

Oh, and to add to erilaz's answer to your earlier question, the BABYMETAL concert in Los Angeles sold out in a few minutes, if I remember correctly.
