The paying fans of André Hazes Jr. are absolutely bummed. They paid up to 80 euros per ticket for his Ahoy concert, but now those tickets are going away almost for free. Aw…
The career of André Hazes Jr. is at an end intensive care. The ventilator is fighting against all the bad news: an Ahoy concert that never sells out, singles that no street cat will listen to and an album that falls historically far in the Album Top 100. And that decline says more about the number four position from last week; it seems bought.
André in the bargain bin
André’s team pretends that everything is going great, but what are his Ahoy tickets doing in the VakantieVeiligen bargain bin? Yvonne Coldeweijer points it out to her juicechannel: “If there is something that I was often forwarded last weekend, it was a screenshot of VakantieVeilingen.”
There you can get two tickets for André for eight euros. “They are being thrown away for a few euros. There is a new round every ten minutes… Loyal fans who wanted to support him from the very first moment and bought an expensive ticket for 80 euros are being given the cold shoulder! Luckily there weren’t that many. 😂”
‘I have huge regrets’
One of those fans speaks to Yvonne. She writes: “Yes, so me! Bought two tickets for 160 euros and not even really good seats because they had already been given out to family and friends. Now I’m really sorry, but of course I can’t sell them either.”
Yvonne: “Do you feel screwed?”
The fan: “Yes, quite a bit. 😅”
600 volunteers
Another follower of Yvonne reveals that cards are being distributed en masse. “We have also been offered tickets. Four cards per volunteer from our foundation. Free. Oh and we have over 600 volunteers on file.”
And that’s not all. “At 100% NL they also gave away a shitload of tickets.”
Unwise
Yvonne thinks it is unwise. “I don’t think this is a smart marketing strategy. Next time no one will buy tickets at all.”
She concludes: “I honestly think that it is better to play in front of a room full of one-third full of real fans than to sell off the value of your brand. Invest in branding is more important than one quick fix not to want to be embarrassed.”
