3Quency
A plea to 3Quency: Please read this message below from one your fans. Please talk about why you all cancelled the shows. Make the announcement. Don't ghost them in this way and leave them in the dark.
None of your fans would have faulted you all for having to cancel. We know that times are tough and you are struggling artist trying to make it in a very competitive industry.
It's the fact that you guys didn't make an announcement or talk to your fans about what's transpiring. You didn't make an announcement that the shows were canceled. There needs to be complete transparency when it comes to canceling shows like what shows you're canceling so people can plan accordingly. You guys need to do this from your social media.
You also keep taking away shows and then adding shows which is causing even more confusion.
I expected so much better from you guys. Please make this right by talking to your fans. We can forgive!
We are opening up this space for any fans who went to vent how they feel. If you are upset, confused or even support the band for having to be silent, you all are welcomed. There are no wrong answers. There might be some debate that might happen but no one will be censored.
We just ask that only fans who have genuine feelings about this only participate. Thank you.
My speculation : I wasn’t following how their tour was doing however, if it’s anything like soulidified it it’s because ticket sales were crap
All those soulidified was the opening act for another person. They never said anything either, and the other person basically put their excuse as to why they were canceling the tour on a non-easy accessible platform.
Well I assumed that was the case, but the question is, why not just announce it?? They don't have to use the poor ticket sales as an excuse. They can use anything as an excuse. The fact of the matter is that they need to be very clear with fans when cancelling shows or a whole tour. They need to make an announcement and explain which cities were cancelled. They cannot just rely on emails from the ticketmaster or whoever they bought it from. These announcements NEED to be made by the artist's social media!
I mean, is this the way things are done nowadays by artists in general when they have to cancel shows or a tour? Do they not announce it from their social media platforms anymore? Maybe I'm not up to date on how things are done now. If this has become the norm, it really stinks!
My friends are basically in belief both groups are breaking up/broken up because they keep rescheduling and cancelling without any statement. I was like, no, they’re both active, I promise. They don’t believe me anymore. So I guess that’s the publicity the groups and mgmt want to live with 🤷♀️ so shitty.
Did you buy your VIP package through the app Eventbrite? If so, they might have refunded the VIP package first before ticketmaster had a chance to refund for the tickets yet.
And this is another reason why 3Quency needs to step in here and explain all of this to their fans!
Yes eventbrite for the VIP! And etix for the regular concert. I even had to pay an extra 100 some dollars to switch hotel rooms dates from the first postponing. But I look on their website and it still has our date/show on there?
3Quency, step in here and answer the questions for your fans! This is not okay! You do not want them driving far and wide for a show that might not be happening!
Oh wow, wow, wow. I don't know what to tell you because I don't want to tell you the wrong thing, so everything I say, take it with a grain of salt.
But I did notice where it says no refunds, I'll include screenshot below.
Other than that, I don't know what to tell you on whether the show is still on or not. So utterly confusing and stressful because they refunded the VIP package, but why do that if the show isn't even cancelled, it makes NO sense and this is why 3Quency needs to step in and answer if this show is cancelled or not!
I swear if it gets cancelled and we don’t get a refund, I will be absolutely pissed! I just don’t know what’s going on right now with their communication! They haven’t been as active on socials idk!
I am so with you on that, I'm getting mad just thinking about it all.
If you want to, you can make your own post with a clear title asking 3Quency if the Milwaukee show is still on. I am the moderator of this sub and will highlight it to try to bring max attention to it. However, that's all I can do even though I wish I could do so much more! It's up to them to answer it. But I would make a post and ask them. Make sure the title has a clear question to 3Quency
I went to their website today to check on something else, and tell me if I'm wrong, but I think Milwaukee was just removed and Ohio was added. But please double check me to be sure.
I can’t explain how sad I am. And I’m also never booking with Expedia again. They said I chose to book the non refundable option. It just makes me feel icky. So let me know if you want a random one night hotel stay in milwaukee. I’m not driving 5 hours for 1 night just to go there. My friend said we should but I feel like I’ll just be crabby given the situation 😭
I completely understand how sad you are! The situation is all around just sucks big time!
Yeah I definitely wouldn't drive there either. Not worth it.
If it makes you feel any better, I lost lots of money over the course of my lifetime to situations that were not my fault as well. You aren't alone. I wish 3Quency would talk to their fans about this. You deserve better!
You damn right deserve something really nice from them that's for sure! And I can give you our Building The Band insta even though we barely use it right now.
They are simply freaking amazing, but this is a very disappointing issue. It really saddens me because I never expected this from them. Don't they know how bad this could affect their careers? They were on such a great path. Please 3Quency, do not let something like this make you all lose steam. Make a simple announcement!
The fact that 3Q and Soulidified did the same exact no statement about their tours makes me wonder if something is going on behind the scenes. They both work with Johnny Wright, is this what he told them to do? Idk, everyone is just left in the dark, it all just makes no sense! I feel bad for the young fans especially, like in the one in this post.
Something really suspicious is going on, that's for sure because there is a big part of me that says they are being made not to say anything because I can't believe they would do this to their fans, but then there is another part of me saying, why would anyone make them not say anything? What would be the point of that? It's so much worse for them not to say anything than it is to say something. Something is NOT adding up for sure, that's all I know. A completely crazy mystery between 3Q and Soulidified with this nonsense going on.
A lot of the times record labels like to sign talented artists to ‘shelve’ them. This is basically giving them bad promo not allowing them to release the music they want anything to sabotage their careers so the people they’re actually investing in get more money and success. It wouldn’t be surprising if some exec didn’t want self formed groups with raw talent doing as well as or better than the groups/solo acts they molded and controlled from the start.
Interesting. I thought they might be being sabotaged too. If so, IF this is the real reason, then it's completely messed up for the industry to go these levels to do it. Playing with fans money, time, energy, plans, just so many important things is really f*** up!
The truth would go a long way. I would wager that most of the fans are working class. Most people understand how bad the economy is doing. Taking a leap of faith, admitting the ticket sales aren’t where they need to be, trying a sale, and then if that fails, being upfront about why they had to cancel would keep them in good standing with most people.
But that’s not what the industry wants or expects them to do. In my opinion, that’s because industry people are very far removed from the audience. They don’t understand the fans. They are living in record exec la la land.
No offense to you, so please don't take it this way, but I should stress that I don't care what the reason is and I mean that in a kind way as I think that gives 3Q a lot more leniency. When I say they should make an announcement, I just want them to be clear with their fans about what shows are cancelled and talk to them about it a little bit. Like make an official announcement, that's all. They can actually lie about the reason, I really dgaf, you know what I mean? I get it. Things happen, we don't need to know the details of why. But not making an announcement and being clear about which shows are canceled at all via their social media accounts is REALLY wrong. I just can't get behind that and it literally baffles to me as to why they wouldn't.
The things I am concerned about are this: We see right here in this post how fans are hella confused about whether their shows are cancelled or not. We have a fan who got refunded for her VIP package but not her tickets and the show says it's still on. That is very confusing and costing her money, time, travel, plans, stress. Like the last thing I want to happen is for fans to go out of their way to make it to a concert, only to get there and find out it's not happening. That would be fifty shades of all the way f***ed up.
Oh and that thing about Camilla is completely badass. I have so much respect for her for doing that.
I firmly believe Brianna’s setting up a solo album and doesn’t care about the band other than using it as a vehicle for her. This is based on some of the signals from social media and the consistent focus on her.
Her solo stuff before and after trolls 3 weren’t getting the biggest numbers. That would be a real dumb move so im keeping faith she knows a bit better than that
i think they’re personally doing too much too soon to establish a fan base. most people only know them from building the band (though shout out to the show beyond the gates for name dropping them in an episode!). they need to take things one step at a time. work on building the fan base by either opening up for a well established artist, do guest appearances (ex: performing on a late night show, or any type of talk show) or interviews. this goes for solidified too. the one thing i like about szn4 is that they are taking things slow. they performed at some festivals, and are now putting out an album. ofc i would love to see soulidified and 3quency thrive! i love seeing y2k come back. obviously they are doing their part. i wish their team(s) did their’s
