It's really exciting to see all those people that exist in numbers online translate into tickets and then into faces, handshakes, pictures, stories.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If you are on television, that one night that someone is able to see you, you're talking about millions of people in one day. That's pretty awesome because then it helps you to jumpstart your career, and if you're the one to go out there and perform, people are going to come see you because those millions saw you on the television.
Online is such an important platform... it's all one giant melting pot of talents. The times are changing. It's just art now. You can share your audiences with everyone, and it's exciting.
The large venue gives me the thrill that comes from the power in numbers.
It's extremely exciting to be part of a world premiere here at Arena.
With Twitter, you just want to make people laugh in their meeting; on stage, people have paid for their tickets with their hard-earned money, so I owe them the truth as I experience it.
So many venues are owned by these various different ticketing and promoting people, and they're all in bed with one another. It's no secret over here.
I never get used to going out and seeing 20, 30,000 people that are there to see us play. It's kind of surreal.
Since my 'Crown of Midnight' tour in 2013, we've had such a rapid jump in audience numbers that we've had to move to bigger venues, cap events, and find new and creative ways to keep the line flowing while still allowing me the chance to chat with each person, which will always be very, very important to me.
People are doing amazing things right now on the Web.
It's been exciting to be able to go forward with stuff without 10,000 people saying, It should be like this.
