JP Saxe cancels tour after low ticket sales

Social Sharing After pleading with fans to buy tickets, Toronto singer-songwriter JP Saxe says he's cancelled his series of concerts over sluggish sales and the high cost of life on the road. Saxe took to social media last week, saying that if he didn't sell about 20,000 tickets to his upcoming Make Yourself at Home tour within 48 hours, it would likely be cancelled. In a followup video, he says 2,000 more tickets were sold, but it wasn't enough to save the tour. Saxe says he's grateful for the extra sales, that tickets will be fully refunded and he's looking to make sure similar cancellations never happen again. The Grammy-nominated musician, best known for his 2019 single If the World Was Ending with Julia Michaels, was set to play more than 25 dates across North America, including Toronto, Montreal, Edmonton and Vancouver. WATCH | The official video for If the World Was Ending: The cancellation comes as live music faces mass pressure, compounded by a shaky economy, years of inflation and concert ticket prices that — in many cases — have skyrocketed by hundreds of dollars this year. "Those 2,000 tickets were a reminder ... of how wonderful it can be to ask for help and watch a community come together, and this really was the nicest the internet has ever been to me," he said in a video posted to social media platform TikTok.
