I think a mixture of Arenas and Theatres would be quite a good compromise. Maybe 3 arenas (London, Birmingham and Manchester), and then lots of smaller venue shows around the country.

They can't go back to smaller venues now can they? I'd say a shorter tour with arena's would be better than a longer tour with theatres

There's no reason why they CAN'T go back to theatres, but I think if it's a Greatest Hits tour if would be best suited to arenas. More people would go as more people know their singles than Living For the Weekend album tracks. Nice to see them doing photoshoots already.

I agree more people would know singles but I don't think that means more people would go B-) very organised for them, something is bound to go wrong :lol:

Waiting for someone to announce their pregnancy...

That was me!! #creativemind #legendaryshadow

 

 

Oi it was me! :o #stealingmyideas

Hmm.. if that's the case and they went down the greatest hits path... hypothetically speaking... what do people think their schedule will be like?

 

Not Giving Up - March

Tour announcement for Sept/Oct time and tickets on sale - March (?)

Lead GH single - August/September (?)

GH album - August/September (?)

 

Could it be a LFTW re-release instead? Just seems a bit messy having a greatest hits tour announced months before the lead/album itself if they were to go down that route (since it seems like from Una in the flip and her Q&A on Twitter last night that the tour will be announced alongside NGU's release), unless they hold it back until they do the lead single? Who knows. This is all hypothetical and guesswork. :)

The only way they would be willing to invest on keeping the 'Living for the Weekend' brand alive would be if Not Giving Up proved that they could still make money with it. But since the song will take a while to even be released, I think it's more probable that they are planning a GH to release along with the tour.

I posted a fake news thread saying the girls were splitting after a tour called 30 Dates with The Saturdays or something so #bitchplease.

THIS!

 

People gotta understand that the difference in numbers between theatres and tours is huge. I still don't get it how they don't have the "in between" of these two because the gap is just too big.

 

Anyway.

So yes, they might not be able to sell out a 12k Arena, but what if they can actually sell 9k out of it? That's still better than let's say a theatre tour with 3-4k people in it.

 

So do a arena tour for the city you know you can sell loads of tickets and keep the theatre venues for the places where you know you won't sell shit, so you might as well save a bit of money on the production side of it.

Its a double whammy, Rochelle and Vanessa, these pregnancies spread like wildfire!

and it was not funny and got closed #ohsnap :lol: If they were to do a 30 days tour I would imagine they might leave the UK and Ireland for a few dates?

I know they have a few fans dotted here and there but I don't think they have sufficient numbers really!

I would really love the girls to be able to claim they did a sell out or at least almost sold out show at the O2 in London, that would be a pinnicle career point.

 

Regarding the tour i'd like Arena as it looks better and means more of a production, but i'd be happy with a mixture. I think with it marketed as a Greatest Hits Tour it would do well as people will know classics like 'Ego' 'All Fired Up 'Higher' 'Missing You' and 'Forever Is Over' will be played, where as they may deem LFTW Tour as just the album.

 

Also, touring in Sept would be wise, especially for promo for a Q3/4 single or album and will defo sell better than a tour in December when everybody has enough going on already!

Agreed. With summer dates at festivals planned already it wouldn't be wise to rush to do the tour before May, they may as well wait!

Just had a thought, the wanted split over poor album sales and are going on one last tour, what if the sats are the same? Has Living for the weekend even reached 25k?

The Saturdays are different.

 

They have so many endorsement and different solo deals/ventures and the management makes money out of that and label makes money out of what their management make. That's the deal. The more deals they got, the better. Money's going to start going in with the summer gigs coming up.

 

That being said, it probably means the girls prob' don't have much money for them after all these cuts, but at least they keep their record deal that way.

True but I still think the end is near for them :cry: :( :huh:

Well, don't think it because it's not the case.
