US & Canada MikuExpo 2021 tour
- Thread starter Exemplar
- Start date
I'm not that surprised the tour was postponed to be honest, when considering how hard US has been hit with corona. (I mean, they postponed Magical Mirai Osaka in August, and the pandemic in Japan hasn't been that serious)
Was fully prepared for the concert to be postponed so not surprised about this update. If they postpone Magical Mirai in December I won’t be surprised either but hopefully they won’t have to. So many Miku lives are being pushed back maybe Sega should do a small virtual thing I’m sure fans would love it.
Ah, don't do that. I've heard of similar merch for traditional bands that became coveted collector items. I have this vision of hanging out with other synth enthusiasts and commenting on said merch that somebody's wearing/holding: "Remember when...? Oh, yeah...." *nod*
Though it's not like anyone is going to forget these times for a long time.

it was a joke lol, i dont plan on actually tarnishing anything. i actually originally was going to get a shirt with the dates on the back and then decided not to when they moved them, but now you make me wish i did. "hey remember when miku expo was supposed to be in april 2020? haha....ha...ha......"
It's not too late, if you're having second thoughts about that shirt. Totally up to you, obviously.
Well, that sucks. But with the gigantic mess that virus response has been in the US, and the difficulty we've had in getting so many to take the easiest of steps to protect/care for each other, it's sadly not surprising.
Actually, after two postponements, plus everything else, somehow I think I'm well enough numbed to accept this at the moment, despite the fact that it would've been my first concert and I was passionately looking forward to it before. It sucks, but meh, I guess that's just how it is.
Think of them as battle scars, or memorabilia of the year from hell.
Save your penlight, though--have faith that Miku will come back in a few years.
There's always the potential for online concerts, too--I wouldn't be averse to waving a penlight in my own room.
Edit:
...True as all that is, I think it WILL be difficult for me to actually make the call to cancel my ticket, though.... Accepting the outcome is one thing; but actually turning that ticket in is a little more of a moment....

This is quite saddening news. I truly feel for everyone that didn’t get to see Miku. I remember when the tickets first released, there was a voice in my head telling me not to get tickets, despite my excitement, and I guess that voice knew the turnout wouldn’t be hqppy.
At the least, there are always more years for Miku to come, and that being said, Miku’s 15th anniversary in 2022 isn’t too far off—hopefully we’ll see her then to all celebrate together. It’s something to look forward to at least, even if it’s still seemingly so far away

As a European, I feel the disappointment the North American fans are feeling right now. I'm certainly not expecting an announcement of a new Miku Expo tour in Europe anytime soon, especially considering how cases are spiking on the continent again. As much as I wish they'd expand the British gigs to other cities outside of London, I can't take the risk of going out to a crowd while Britain is getting the worst of the second wave of cases.
There's at least an online event being considered for a replacement;
Well, that's definitely something! I wonder if there will be any benefit to holding onto existing tickets in view of the potential for an online event--like having the live-event ticket used as a ticket for the virtual event? It seems like it might be a stretch, unless there's something (like an ID code on each ticket) that CFM can use to tie whatever such benefit they might offer to individual tickets sold by different sellers. The alternative seems like it would be refunding the live-event tickets and running brand new ticket sales for the virtual event.
Thanks @hamano!
Personally I'd still get a refund nonetheless, I know virtual events are still cool, but they're just not on the same level as in person concerts. I'd feel pretty ripped off in the end. I don't know how much tickets to online concerts have been costing, but I don't think I'd ever pay as much for one as for a real concert, personally.
I can imagine they'll just end up doing a new ticket system anyway. Still...I appreciate they're trying to put something virtual together, I hope all goes well.
