Those Free Tickets

concert tickets[Blind Gossip] These singers want you to think that they are generous and caring. They recently donated concert tickets – with lots of accompanying publicity – to people who were not planning to attend. Nice, right?

It’s really no skin off their backs, given that many venue sections are half empty anyhow. Tickets aren’t selling well, so they’re going to have to give away a hell of a lot more or shut down sections if they want their venue to look full!

    I’m guessing all of the artists that you can use the free Ticketmaster concert tickets on.

    Demi and Nick with the Pulse staff free tickets. I like Nick but the market is just too saturated today.

    Jonas
    Lovato
    Clock is ticking on their careers.
    Old man time has descended upon the former tweeners.

      It’s about time. Neither is really a groundbreaking artist. Time to move on.

    • craigbear says

      I’m not a fan of either one of them (or almost anybody on the current pop scene) either — but I have to ask, since when did “groundbreaking” have anything whatsoever to do with commercial popularity?

    Demi Lovato and Nick Jonas…or is it Joe Jonas? Sorry, I can’t get that family straight.

    I say the fact that it was publicized cements it as completely self-serving. IMO.

    I think I heard this about Demi Lovato & Joe Jonas…. But considering the shameful state of both Gwen Stefani’s upcoming tour ticket sales & the recent pics of Rihanna singing to virtually empty stadiums on tour in the UK – it could be them… Or perhaps they should try it!!

    Demi Lovato and that Jonas Brother (I can’t be bothered to get their names straight)

    Don’t know who this is, but I DO know that the cost of concert tickets has gone absolutely through the roof. I’m not going to pay $100 for anyone who lip synchs and dances – which unfortunately most of the current crop of “pop singers” do.

    Singers: Demi Lovato and Nick Jonas

    They recently gave away tickets to the Pulse Nightclub employees for their Orlando concert.

    I think their donations were generous and self serving at the same time. Demi has been active in helping the LGBTQ community for a while now, so I don’t see this as her trying to get publicity. Nick, on the other hand, is known for baiting GBQ+ men, so I think it’s totally him trying to get more album sales.

    Demi Lovato and Nick Jonas donating tickets to the staff of Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida.

    Demi and Jonas

    Self serving to fill up the arena.

    (The concert promoter must be taking a financial bath on this tour.)

  34. lolachristina says

    demi lovato and nick jonas
    optional: self serving. their manager needs to stop

  35. TeacherKat says

    Demi and Nick Jonas? I read about them donating tickets to workers from Pulse Nightclub.

    Generous out self-serving? A little bit of both.

  38. badmoodchick says

    Im gonna guess Gwen Stefani. I dont know who the other singers are unless its Eve whose touring with her…

  45. thelasthigh says

    sounds like both . self serving but helps others too . nothing wrong with that. I donate clothes every year because it helps clean out my closet – it also helps those in need. I could just as easily throw the clothes away, just like they could just as easily block off sections instead of giving away tickets.

    Demi Lovato & Nick Jonas
    Seems self serving when you post it
    all over social media!

    Demi Lovato and Nick Jonas donating a private box to employees of the Orlando night club.

    Singers: one direction

    [Optional] Were their donations generous or self-serving? A desperate attempt which won’t help in the long run…

  71. RebellionTruth says

    Everyone has said it before but it’s pretty obvious it’s about Nick Jonas and Demi Lovato

  74. Warrior1461 says

    One reason for this plague of empty seats is sites like StubHub, people buy up these tickets from the primary vendors then resell them at an inflated price. Only a few acts like Taylor Swift are popular enough for anyone willing to pay that for a show.

    Demi and Nick at smaller venues…well no. Even A list talent like Rihanna and Beyonce are getting hurt by this.

  75. NurseMaria says

    Nick Jonas & Demi Lovato
    Tickets for Workers at Pulse Night Club in Orlando.
    The joke is $10k for 1 backstage pass, NOT including a show ticket .
    WHO in the world would pay that kind of money for them? (or anyone?)
