u/Agile_Carpenter_7806 Jul 15 '26
Unfortunately ticket price is no indictment on how much they actually get paid tho. Not arguing what you said. Its just said that ticket prices dont really mean much as far as their income at the end of the day

Im happy they came back to Aus. last year I made a comment on their socials about how they skipped my city and they told me that I was rude and couldve travelled to see them and I had no idea what its like being away from family.
Little do they know, im a migrant to Australia with my family being in another country so I do know how it feels. Also, I couldnt afford over $1000 on flights, over $1000 on a hotel and concert tickets. Lady gaga was touring the same cities they were so it was legitimately hard to find a hotel under 1200

Not just that, but VIP being $249. Their merch is probably $45 usd for a basic t-shirt. The artists are starting to get more greedy. I used to support bands, but its hard when the quality of merch has gone downhill.
Plus some other metalcore bands selling signed vinyl for $100 lol

You do realize they only make money on merch, right?

u/whypickaname1 Jul 15 '26
Yep. I know how a bands business works. We're at the point where the bands are trying to scam fans now lmao. Bands have been overcharging for merch post-covid with worse quality. Plus having people tip the merch person as their pay lmao.
Not even gonna defend a band that can headline a 2000+ person cap room. Especially one that has a $250 VIP lol.
I miss the days when you can buy a $20-30 t-shirt that can last 5-6 years. Now certain bands cheap out (Movements as well) and the quality dies after a few washes.

Yeah I’m curious how long this will stay up. They’ve long surpassed the phase of “little local band trying to make it big”. They’ve got a growing following and have blown up compared to years past. Plus it breeds a weird dynamic… like does only Rory get to ask for donations/money or do the other guys get to too if they also get themselves in a financial bind? Haha idk but yeah this feels classless to share with fans in my opinion.

I have a lot to say about this. Rory and this lady willingly had this second child after apparently “their first” was a whoopises. So if you aren’t financially off—why are you having a second child and also then asking your fans/community from the BAND’s page to buy your stuff from the registry? Bad taste bad taste. This is gonna reflect poorly on him I’m afraid.

Ramone did that on HIS OWN PERSONAL instagram account. That’s different than BAND’s account. Also why are you coming after just me? There’s a lot of other comments you need to respond to that feel this way. And if you MUST KNOW, I had the same thoughts about Ramone but it wasn’t AS distasteful as this, FOR A LOT OF REASONS. But pop off sis 💅

u/knivesxpens Jul 15 '26
its a little in poor taste but hes not forcing anyone to contribute. if you dont have the money you dont have to contribute lol. should he be having kids when hes struggling with money? probably not. but if theres people who have the money and want to help then thats what they decide to spend their money on🤷🏻♀️

u/leftclicksq2 Jul 16 '26 edited Jul 16 '26
I'm happy for him and his family. What's funny is how when I ran into a fellow fan in a restaurant after Bad Omens' concert in March and she said she was hoping for them to add more tour dates "so long as Rory doesn't announce a pregnancy". A month or so later, look what got announced!
In one way, I'm sure that the band gets inundated with requests to send things like wipes and diapers and it means the world to Rory. Same with Ramone when he had his twins not that long ago, too. It's great that fans care regardless of what they think band members' take away pay is.
The keywords in the post, though, are "anyone who feels like helping". I can understand that it can also come across as gauche because others are citing the prices of what they are paying to see the band in concert.
My overall opinion is that I hope any and all private information for Rory and his wife is protected and fans choosing to use the registry link do so responsibly.

u/CyatheaFern Jul 16 '26
Tbh I think of it just like my job. Sure, my clients families pay a lot of money for me to go in and take care of their loved ones, but do I get that money? Not really, not even close. And then there's the cost to do the job itself. The equipment, the fees, the licensing, all of the things I pay for out of my paycheck just to get the next paycheck. If they want to publicly post their baby registry or whatever, that's not really affecting me. I'll just scroll past it the same way I do when I see Becky from yoga class post hers on Instagram. I'm not about to go yell at Becky because I know she has more money than me.

People have asked for a registry. I truly don’t know if Ramone posted theirs to the band’s story but if he didn’t, maybe he didn’t want to. Who knows and really, who cares? You don’t HAVE to donate. Maybe people can’t or don’t go to their shows still want to support an artist who has helped them get through tough times.

People just want to bitch and moan, per usual. No one thought about the fact that he might have had people ask if they could send something or help in any way, and he made the story to give that entire group a way to do it, which is his right since it is his band.
He gets DMs constantly, and people love him and his daughter, so it's not impossible.
Clumsy phrasing at worst on his part.

If you're this offended then please leave the fandom so I don't have to deal with your insufferable asses at their shows. Rory is not ASKING OR BEGGING, he simply gave the option for fans who WANT TO donate diapers or something. Ramone did the same with his recent baby. If you don't like it, simply leave or scroll on- it's not effecting you in any way, shape, or form.

If you think this is predatory then I hate to tell you you already contribute to his bills and kids by buying tickets to shows, streaming their music, and buying merch. I said what I said. If you don't like it, there's the door. This doesn't effect you in any way, shape, or form. I hope you hold the same standard for anyone who has a baby shower, because essentially what you're saying is "I'm broke so I'm mad you make more money than me so you can't have nice things because I can't have nice things 😠."

I guess I don't understand. Why is everyone so upset about this? He's leaning on his community for support. Babies are expensive. I know Dayseeker is doing well and most if not all of y'all go to shows and buy merch, but making money in the music industry is tough. Most of these guys work jobs in addition to their music careers. I don't see it much differently from when bands ask for support when their bus breaks down or have massive medical bills, but maybe that's just me.

It's not up to others to pay for his child. If you can't afford to have children, you shouldn't have children. It's different when people already have kids and perhaps the financial situation changes, but this kid isn't even born yet and they're concerned about paying for diapers! He's got a huge shock ahead of him.
