Even newer questions to ponder
Carter-Orange:
I've just watched the Vevo interview, very interesting.
I've not heard Chances on the radio here either, but I don't listen to the radio a lot, just on my way to and from work.
Steph, that must've made you feel so down about your story. If people don't like it then they don't have to read it or comment on it, that's just so rude of them! I'm sure you got loads of lovely reviews though.
Sakabelle:
Thanks guys. Yes it was incredibly frustrating.
That Vevo interview was interesting. It wasn't really any "new" information per se, but the way it was framed was new if that makes sense. Like, I think we were all well aware that Now or Never was Nick trying to rebel against being in a boyband and be more edgy, but that was the first time he'd ever spoken so candidly about that time. They were all refreshingly honest in that interview. I'd like to see more of that.
I haven't heard Chances on the radio at all, but I don't think it's been added yet. I feel like that's coming in January but I could be wrong. HOWEVER, I have heard Don't Go Breaking My Heart a LOT. Like... a lot. It's on Sirius XM Hit 1 really often and I've heard it on my local Top 40 tons as well. Pretty cool! I still jam to it every time. It's catchy AF. I think Chances will do well here, especially if they play up the fact that Shawn Mendes wrote it. It's unfortunate that he didn't also produce (does he produce?) because then it'd count as CanCon.
Are they doing soundchecks/VIPs this time around? I haven't done one in a while because the prices for Vegas were too much for me to stomach. I thought I saw something about them doing VIP but I haven't seen anything about soundcheck parties. I did a few Niall Horan soundchecks this year and I think rather than doing the M&G portions I'll just continue to do the soundchecks. They're much cheaper and you get so much more.

They're offering a couple of VIP packages that sound more like what they did in Vegas than what they've done on previous tours. One includes a meet and greet, but no soundcheck.
https://www.backstreetboys.com/news/297982 This page doesn't list the prices, but Rose looked them up before we bought concert tickets, and they were really high. I don't remember exactly how much, but I think it was over $500. So no VIP for us this time around.
I wish they would go back to the old soundcheck party format; I don't need drinks and hors d'oeuvres, but I always loved seeing the soundchecks. Or do what they do at conventions and offer a photo op for a set price that could be split between friends if you don't mind doing a group photo. But I guess as long as some people are willing to pay these prices, they'll keep doing it this way. One of the downsides of them being more popular again.

Happy New Year! What was your favorite BSB or fanfic-related memory from this year, and what are you most looking forward to in 2019? Is anyone making writing-related resolutions?
mare:
Remember when they used to do soundcheck by luck of the draw? Then if there was more room they’d just let you in. I have never been to a soundcheck or paid for a meet and greet. I would definitely prefer to watch a soundcheck and q and a over a meet and greet.
It seems ticket prices are a bit high for this tour but I guess it’s a good sign for them that they’re doing well.
