Sabine, I think Crown Bee Olive is back pretending to be an industry insider on the twitter account Nostradamus Insider. Same stilted English and scattergun predictions like 'Zayn Spring'.
These accounts bore me the hell out, but I know plenty of people give them credit because they were right about something in the past.
I think they’re just a troll but instead of calling themselves prediction account, they call themselves “Nostradamus” who - come to think of it - was never an insider but envisioned events in the future without actual knowledge and being wrong about them most of the time.
I bet you could easily be able to predict something about Louis and Harry, and be right. The Nostradamus account claiming that Harry will go the Bowie/Prince route for HS4 isn’t new. That’s been put onto Harry since HS1. But who cares, people will forget they were wrong with literally everything else when you got one thing right.
And people love to believe they’re ahead of everyone else by knowing stuff that’s not supposed to be out there (see Deuxmoi, CDAN, CBO). Of course these accounts will be successful.
Announcing that a show is sold out when in reality it’s not it’s the dumbest thing ever, so even if Louis’ team is dumb, I don’t think they are so dumb to do that. I don’t think Live Nation, which is the one who announces is shows are sold out or not and old that, would even allow that because they’re losing the opportunity to sell tickets.
If a show is just sold around 20%/30%, you try to move the show to another smaller place and try to work things out because it’s more expensive to cancel a whole leg in a tour than move shows from one venue to another. And I work in the music industry and the events industry so I know what I’m talking.
Yeah, which is why I keep coming back to the same conclusion: tickets sales were not the reason.
