QF used to run 767’s in some peak periods between Sydney & Melbourne.
I’ve had no need to be flying at those times in probably 10 years, do they &/or did they ever run A330’s in the same capacity?
Anyone know whether they, I dunno, replaced 3x 767 flights with 4x 737 flights or anything like that?
I don’t recall ever seeing a vibe like this around a tour, ever. Not Guns ‘n‘ Roses, Dire Straights, Pink Floyd, Elton John, Madonna, U2 or pre-cancellation-from-before-it-became-popular (he was always ahead of his time!) Michael Jackson.
Mind you others have sold more tickets/concerts here, which I initially thought was likely a good example of managing Swiftie demand … treat ‘em mean to keep ‘em keen. But when double-checking this factoid, I see this tour has run since March last year to the end of this year, so it’s not like they could’ve fit more dates into each location anyhoo.
Actually, I was thinking as I rattled off that list of prior artists that had a big vibe … that they were all from over 2 decades ago. I can’t name anyone with that sort of vibe since the 90’s, and it’s not due a lack of interest on my part as the point is about the explosion of hype beyond the fans … but the way the music industry has been fractured is the same as how the car industry was fractured, fan/purchaser interest is spread across a wider range of artists/models these days and it’s been decades since anyone’s had near the sales levels of The Beatles or Commodore.
So mebbe part of the embiggenment of the hype here is that she’s the first one they’ve managed to sell so effectively in such a long time? And popularity feeds back into more popularity.
