Reply To: Does Eventful work outside the US?
With respect to American perceptions of time, this American recalls something a former British PM once said about “brutal savages in an unknown island.” 😉
Another factor that skews Eventful outside the US is the uncertainty of when JoCo will be that close again. People might be more willing to travel if they don’t think there will be another show nearby any time soon. I’m not sure I’d have bought tickets to the Northampton show had I known that he’d be in Boston two days later (though I’m glad I did), and I’m not sure there’s a good way of indicating such conditional willingness to travel in Eventful. Here we can make fairly simple (and predictable) assumptions based on an understanding of cities where he’s played in the past, but that doesn’t hold outside the US. Maybe UK fans are guessing that he’ll eventually make it out of London to Manchester, Edinburgh, Cambridge…
