German metalcore band Half Me have publicly acknowledged serious financial challenges surrounding their forthcoming European and UK tour, encouraging supporters to purchase tickets in advance to help make the run viable.
The Hamburg-based group are due to begin their next European shows on November 27. In their appeal to fans, the musicians stressed the importance of early ticket purchases rather than waiting until the day of a concert, as advance sales can have a significant impact on the costs and planning of a tour.
The band’s announcement highlights a wider problem for emerging heavy acts: international touring can involve substantial upfront spending on transportation, accommodation, crew, equipment and production, while ticket revenue may arrive only after many of those expenses have been committed.
The group have not announced that the tour is canceled. Instead, their message is a request for practical support from listeners who intend to attend, as the band work to manage the financial risks associated with a multi-country run.
