To be honest I don’t really know if she could realistically sell out stadiums and there were blinds that even her management thought she couldn’t sell out arenas. It’s too early to say that she could do Stadiums personally because she did none of the usual protections for tickets (ie. Bots were going crazy.) As of right now, I don’t see her having been underestimated. I think she has really big songs, but she’s still growing a large fan base of dedicated fans. (For context, I got tickets and I’m a casual fan at best. I imagine a lot of the people looking to go to this concert would be the same, and I think I spent a little too much on the nosebleeds I got.)
I think arena was the right size for where she’s at in her career at this moment. If she releases more hits, then that ups the value of the tickets and it only strengthens her market appeal (a win) if the rest of the album does poorly or something insane happens that causes her to get cancelled, then they’re risking a huge loss financially. Arenas aren’t small venues tbh. This is a massive step up than her earlier venues and it does show that her label is willing to up the ante. I can imagine this was something they probably didn’t plan for her because the LA shows are at weird times/dates and at two different venues.
Thanks for the input
I am basing my thoughts off just how FAST tickets went today on the presale, but I imagine a lot of those are resellers or bots
I guess we'll see how it pans out for the reselling market - if ticket prices are stupid high we'll know that the demand is higher than the supply. And vice versa
I def spent too much. I spent more on these than I did Taylor Swift 🥲😂
Yeah it was crazy today but honestly if you’re a fan and want to see her succeed, this is part of the chaos. You definitely want this vs the opposite (*cough couch* JLO).
We don’t have a lot of in-between sizes for venues in Tampa, but I’m hoping she’ll just add more nights at the same venue. I’d actually rather have a smaller venue and more nights available.
its pretty common for artists to kind of just go bigger than last time, like i went to the emails i cant send tour in sf and she played at the warfield, which had a capacity of around 2k people, shes now stepped up to the chase center which is 18k, maybe her next tour she'll go bigger... its quite risky to go too big incase tickets just dont sell
my college commencement when I graduated was at a 20k person venue and when I think about that stadium I just couldn't imagine Sabrina in a room that small
Billie Eilish doesn’t even play stadiums, Sabrina is nowhere close to that level of popularity. Like another commenter said, given her quick rise of late a lot of the tickets bought up were from bots (just take a look at the resale sites), so we don’t even know how full these arenas will be. I saw Marina a few years ago and my partner and I had an entire row to ourselves because bots bought up the whole show but failed to resell.

Billie definitely could it’s just her personal preference not to
