Of course I wouldn't sell my tickets based on the setlists. Look, I'm not bouncing off the rafters in excitement looking at the setlists that come out show after show but they're not that bad by any means. There's a bunch of songs in there that in all the shows I've been to I've never heard and there's a different song selection and structure to previous tour. And this is very important, I haven't been to a show on this tour yet.
This is what really amuses me when I read people bitching and moaning at the setlists. You would swear from reading what some people are writing that these people are actually at the show and are actually experiencing the same concert night after night. You're reading song titles on a fcuking computer screen. You're not at the show. Just about everyone who's bitching here is taking this so personally as if they're having to be subjected to the same "laziness" every show and being personally wronged by Jon because he's not giving these people, not what they want, but what they feel they deserve.
As I said, I would certainly prefer that the setlists had more variety, and some songs in particular (YGLABN & BTBMB) would not be played, because yeah, it would be nice to got the concert and not know what was to come next but even if i know with certainty what song is coming up next it wont change the fact that the first Circle show I go to will be the first show I got to.
Seriously if you wanted to sell your ticket because the videos of the performaces were totally shit, that would be understandable. Also, if the sets were full of songs you hated then, again yeah sell your ticket but I would have to ask why you bought it in the first place but to even consider selling your ticket because setlists are repetitive is insane. Do a thought experiment, take a random show from any night of this tour so far and imagine if without knowing what any of the other setlists were, would you be happy with that set, because if you haven't been to a Circle show yet that's the situation you are in now!
