Why would I buy tickets to a concert i know is going to be cancelled?

How to blow up your career in one easy step.

I feel for the guy. He was just trying to be a schmuck who only cared about money, but sometimes that doesn't work out.

I'm on Macklemore's side, but Ed Sheerhan's career is gonna be fine.

[–] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 13 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Cause he's white and blowing Israeli billionaires?

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 4 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Or cause he's immensely popular, even if he doesn't seem to have many fans around these parts. He's got a couple songs with billions of views on youtube, others in hundreds of millions.

How many Swifties have given up on her music over all the ridiculous private jet usage that causes untold amounts of emissions for short journeys?

Oh you support no genocide in Palestine? I don't take sides so you're out. Sorry! (He did not say sorry).

The other singers began leaving...

Oh guys don't leave me! We got concerts to play!

Let's say a normal person had done all this and people started leaving. Maybe the normal person would call a press conference or say something on Twitter like "guys, I'm sorry, I didn't want to bring political views into my music, but I see now how important these things are to you all and I welcome back all those who left or else I will myself stop playing the concerts. Additionally I will support the effort to stop Israel from committing genocide."

Something like that. Right?

But nah! Just lower the ticket prices dude, the show must go on, murders or no murders. Am I right?... No my dude, you're very wrong! Learn to read the room!

Still too expensive

[–] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 15 points 5 days ago

Make it go below $50!

It's ironic that Karma comes quick when you really have to work hard to get Charity to.

[–] CluckN@lemmy.world 11 points 5 days ago

Imagine they get Kid Rock to join the tour.

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 11 points 5 days ago

But...he's "not complicit". LOL. Get fucked Ed.

[–] atomicbocks@sh.itjust.works 6 points 5 days ago

$65 is still more than I would pay to see somebody I actually wanted to see.

Good, fuck him.

[–] godsammitdam@lemmy.zip 6 points 5 days ago

Make sure to get refunds.

I wonder what Kraft and cuckboy Sheeran feel now about "keeping discourse open" with genocidaires.

[–] antonim@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago

Something something, vote with your wallet, I guess...

[–] clifmo@programming.dev 5 points 5 days ago

Calm down guys, he probably has insurance for genocide related incidents

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 days ago

I'm kinda surprised there aren't more genocide supporters buying tickets.

[–] Objection@lemmy.ml 3 points 5 days ago

Kinda scummy for Rolling Stone to advertise for him tbh.

[–] modus@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

Everyone is going to go to see Ed Sheeran because they think it'll be empty and they'll get a private show. But they'll all inadvertently make it his biggest sellout yet.
