Grammy-nominated singer JP Saxe warned fans that his tour was at risk of being canceled, but now he has confirmed that reality.
On July 28, the singer, who became known for his hit song “If the World Was Ending,” warned his fans that if he did not sell thousands more tickets to his tour in the next 48 hours, he was going to be forced to cancel the entire tour.
“I’m extremely embarrassed to tell you this, but I’m going to tell you anyway,” JP Saxe said in a video posted on Instagram on July 28. “If I don’t sell 20-or-so thousand tickets to my tour in the next 48 hours, it’s going to be canceled.”
The artist warned fans that if they were waiting until the last minute to buy tickets to his show, that strategy was not going to work because then there “wouldn’t be a show to buy tickets to.”
“I hold on to a sliver of hope that I will see you in the Fall,” he said in the video.
Unfortunately for JP Saxe, he did not see the surge in ticket purchases he was hoping for.
A few days after posting his initial video, JP Saxe took to social media once again to thank everyone who bought tickets to the tour, but he also shared the unfortunate news that it still was not enough to save the tour.
“Over the last few days, we sold a few thousand extra tickets and I am beyond grateful to every one of you who bought one,” Saxe said in the video.
“Those few thousand tickets are a reminder that being transparent in failure sometimes can be more powerful than the facade of success,” he continued. “They were a reminder of how wonderful it can be to ask for help and watch a community come together, and this really was the nicest the Internet has ever been to me.
“But what those tickets are not is enough to save this tour,” he said candidly. “I’m really sorry. I’m so sorry.”
The good news is that everyone who bought a ticket will get their money back.
“Every ticket purchased will be fully refunded with a side of immense gratitude from a dorky ginger Canadian,” he said.
JP Saxe then vowed to make sure this doesn’t happen again.
“I’m still a little embarrassed. I’m also feeling a lot of ambition to make sure this never happens again, and just to make the most honest music I possibly can and the squad can grow and we can have these full rooms,” he said. “Until then, I love you. And I’m grateful to each one of you who bought a ticket.
“And I’m really sorry.”
