True.

To be fair, the Toronto date on March 30 existed for a while before the Hamilton date on March 31 was added, so a lot of the demand was sucked up by the Toronto date and the Hamilton date was handicapped from the start.

I wonder what things would be like if the Hamilton date were announced first.

Plus, perhaps Cardi B of several years ago would have sold out both. I don't follow her, but I think she was bigger pre pandemic
 
From her comments, it sounds like she doesn't truly sell out anyways.
A couple weeks to go, I'm sure there'll be an extra 2k sold one way or another.

Maybe a little concerning for the Oak View Group (or whoever has the money invested)? Enough to make them buy up some tickets and comping them?
I'm sure they don't want other acts to think that a show in Hamilton isn't needed when you've already booked Toronto. However, 90% sold is still a good enough reason to play in a city IMO.

It seems they sold out or knew they'd sell out Toronto, and figured they'd add a second date at a cheaper arena closer to the States. Issue is a bunch of fans from GHA likely didn't think she'd come to Hamilton and bought tickets for Toronto show long before Hamilton was announced.

Yeah. Hamilton is getting a lot of flack from people online, but the weak-ish sales are mostly because the show was tacked on well after the first Toronto one was booked.

I don't really care for Cardi B, but I hope the show does sell out to avoid the stigma. Looks like there are currently just over 3000 unsold tickets (not sure if they are holding any back), so a few hundred actually moved in the last 24 hours.
 
Ah, didn't know Cardi B booked earlier in Toronto. That makes sense that Hamilton's sales are slower.
But like I said, 85-90% is still pretty good normally - especially considering Toronto booked before Hamilton.
 
Hopefully they're called the Hamilton Tigers as a call back to our stolen NHL team. They were the BridgePort Sound Tigers at one point, so it works in that way to buy dropping the "sound".
