Tommy's #1 SHANIA TWAIN SuperSite Message Board

Thanks, think I ran into this yesterday.

 

Steve

The "Voodoo" user on another messageboard just posted he knows about two tour dates that will happen in the US in 2018: one in May and the other one in July.

I don't really know how the hell he knows these things or if what he says is legitimate... I guess we'll know something more tonight or tomorrow.

The "Viva Las Shania Twain" thing is not about a new residence in Vegas, I think it's just part of the "SummerofShania" city tour she's doing to promote the album with media (I understood she's letting media listen to some of the new songs). She's been saying for a couple of months now that there'll be a real Tour, so I don't really think a new residence is in sight...

Jimmy Fallon said Shania has a big announcement. It must be the tour!

I'm super excited to announce my North American NOW TOUR! Pre-order the NOW Tour T-shirt bundle from the official webstore to get access to the exclusive fan ticket pre-sale from 10am on Tuesday August 22nd. http://www.shaniatwain.com/tour

***It's a 46-date tour May 3 - August 4, 2018 covering the U.S. and Canada. Maybe she'll add overseas dates later.

So I am thinking that all Shania fans we pick one city and we all meet up for a mini unofficial Shania convention or something. Who is game for meeting all the members and Tommy? I mean I think we could meet up and let life be good? I am thinking Nashville July 21st to show that town Shania Twain has fans and we are here! What do you think?

Any idea of what the price of the tickets could be? I'm also wondering if pre-sale tickets usually are more expensive than regular sale tickets. I can't remember how it worked for the "Rock This Country Tour".

Pre-sale tickets are the same price as when the go on-sale to the public.

Why Shania Twain Can't Sell Tickets To Her Nashville Show: Exclusive

By Hannah Karp | Billboard | August 18, 2017

When Shania Twain this week announced her 47-show North American tour kicking off in May, the venue for only one date -- a July 21 concert in Nashville -- was marked as “to be determined,” with the on-sale date “to be announced.”

The reason: the Nashville venue that Twain’s team booked, Bridgestone Arena, isn’t selling tickets for any country acts until after Dec. 1, as per the terms of its contract with Garth Brooks, according to Twain’s manager Scott Rodger and an executive at Twain’s promoter, Live Nation.

“This is just a really bad precedent, to say ‘you can’t sell tickets before I sell mine,’” Rodger told Billboard, adding that he was worried about getting negative reactions from Nashville fans who will be unable to buy tickets like the rest of the country when they become available on Aug. 25. “We’re heading back to the dark ages.”

Brooks is currently on tour, with tickets on sale to shows through Oct. 12 in Atlanta. The Live Nation executive said the blocking clause meant Brooks was likely to add dates in Nashville, as the country star often books more shows if his fans demand them. But Brooks’ touring promoter Ben Farrell told Billboard that Brooks had no Nashville dates confirmed and added that he doesn’t discuss their private business with any venue. Bridgestone’s senior vp booking, David Kells, said he doesn’t comment on shows that haven’t been announced, nor does he comment on the building's contracts with artists, but said he was proud of the arena’s 20-year history serving Nashville fans.  

It’s not unheard-of for big acts and promoters to contractually block others from competing with their events, and the Live Nation executive said that such clauses actually often serve to protect smaller competitors from losing business to bigger stars. Brooks does everything he can to avoid stepping on other acts’ toes and intruding on their business, booking his own shows as far in advance as possible, a source in his camp tells Billboard. Such agreements also help venues avoid flooding their markets with too many similar shows.

Still, Twain is touring next year to promote her new pop album, NOW -- her first tour since Rock This Country in 2015 -- and her team would prefer to put the Nashville tickets on sale with the others to capitalize on the string of national promotional events, including a headlining gig at the U.S. Open tennis tournament that will be televised on ESPN next week.

Rodger said that, when Live Nation told him that the block on pre-December ticket sales only applies to country artists, he provided Bridgestone Arena with data showing that Twain is more adult-contemporarythan country. The top streaming market worldwide for Shania Twain is Mexico City, while Nashville isn’t among the top 20 markets for her music in the United States. Meanwhile, she tours infrequently, unlike most country artists who are constantly on the road, Rodger said. But he said he failed to convince the arena to bend.

Twain’s tour kicks off May 3, 2018 in Tacoma, Wash., and ends in Las Vegas on Aug. 4 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. Though her music no longer has the country sound of her 1993 self-titled debut or her best-selling 1997 album Come On Over, the five-time Grammy winner is still widely considered the top-selling country artist of all time, with more than 90 million albums sold worldwide and more than 34.5 million albums sold in the U.S.

In the end, she will still be able to put her Nashville tickets on sale more than seven months in advance of the show, but the Live Nation official expressed surprise that Bridgestone wasn’t able to make an exception for her earlier on-sale.

“It feels a little extreme to me,” the executive said.

Question - I got my pre sale code, but when I look at Ticketmaster's On Sale Date and Times, they list a few different pre sale selections, including Shania Twain Packages Pre sale and then Shania Twain Pre sale. I don't want to waste time putting the code in the wrong pre sale. Which one do I choose? I just bought the t shirt and got this code.
Also - do we choose seats first and then enter the pre sale code, or the reverse? Thanks.

You choose Shania Twain pre-sale for regular tickets. I think you'll enter the code first.

Garth, Shania And The Nashville TBA

By Joe Reinartz | Pollstar | August 22, 2017

Shania Twain manager Scott Rodger says he’s still waiting for a resolution of an apparent impediment with Garth Brooks’ camp regarding Twain’s Aug. 25 onsale.

Rodger has been vocal about his frustration that the sale on Twain’s website will list all of the venues of the 2018 tour except one: the Nashville date that should list Bridgestone Arena. Instead, the July 21 show has the curious listing of “TBA.”

“On Friday, every other show on the tour will go on sale,” Rodger told Pollstar. “From a fan perspective, it would be, ‘Why are you not putting your Nashville show on sale?’ ‘Oh, we’re not allowed to because Garth Brooks won’t allow it.’”

odger claims that Brooks has holds for five nights at the venue in November (“He’s 100 percent, categorically playing Bridgestone. That’s why we’re not playing. There’s no one else in the world who would be able to do that”), although Brooks has not announced the shows yet.

“Garth Brooks contracts his shows really far in advance and as a part of his deal with certain buildings, wherever he can, he can prevent any other country show from going on sale in a window around his show,” Rodger said. “He is preventing all country shows from now going onsale through Dec. 1.”

Brooks manager Bob Doyle was unavailable for comment as was his promoter, Ben Farrell of Varnell Enterprises, who told Billboard’s Hannah Karp that Brooks had no Nashville dates confirmed and keeps his business dealings with venues private.

Although a “radius” clause can be and often is inserted into a contract preventing, for instance, a festival performer from playing in the area before or after the event, Rodger takes special exception to the alleged situation with Garth because he says Twain isn’t a country show.

“Obviously country radio doesn’t play her. Look at all the country radio charts. I did a pitch to the building saying, ‘Go read Billboard. Go to Spotify. Here’s all our social data from Facebook, Twitter, Instagram.’ We gave them all this data. Her core audience is on the East Coast and West Coast; not Nashville,” he said.

“It doesn’t mean Nashville isn’t an important city for her but it’s not her core audience. Her song is No. 18, I think, on the Adult Contemporary chart this week, which is more pop-leaning.”

David Kells, senior VP of booking at Bridgestone, provided Pollstar with a statement: “We don’t comment on shows that haven’t been announced at Bridgestone Arena or our deals with each individual artist or event, but we’re totally proud of our 20-year history of serving the music community in Nashville and all the fans who like coming here to see shows.”

As for TBA, Rodger didn’t rule out other options.

“We have been exploring doing something outdoors because I don’t want to play in a building that has policies like this in place,” he said. “The building actually came and offered us money. They offered to pay us over and above our sellout. They offered to pay 10 percent on top. They were doing everything for me to not go public on this. I said, ‘Keep your money. Just let her go on sale.’”

“We have never offered somebody to not report a story,” Kells told Pollstar.
