The factors

Here's everything pushing this presale up or down the FaceValue scale.

REBEL to Amp in One Year --

Toronto is still reeling from Alex's visit to the 2,950-cap REBEL this spring. Though it sits comfortably around his flurry of other arena/amp dates, the leap to RBC Amp is still massive. We've yet to see evidence that his streaming numbers can translate to arena success. It's a risky escalation that can make or break a career.

It takes more than a hit -

Streaming and touring success are entirely different sports. Fans are buying a night of entertainment, not just one song they love. Sure, Ordinary is having its moment. But convincing 16,000 people to show up on a Tuesday night is another thing entirely.

Multiple choices for fans -

Toronto's Tuesday timing lands between two other major markets – Detroit and Montreal. Both shows will be at their respective city's major sports arena and present fans with potentially cheaper alternatives. Beyond these three cities, Alex's tour extensively covers the U.S. and Canada, softening any sense of scarcity.

The Cautionary Tale of Benson Boone -

We've seen the mystical and magical Benson Boone walk this road this year: a viral breakout, a fast-tracked arena tour, and a base that wasn't quite ready to stay. Despite the fantastical proclamation of a full-tour sellout in 9-seconds, most of his dates ended up firmly in "Wait" territory, with discounted tickets readily available for Toronto's Scotiabank appearance.

My recommendation is Big Wait. Alex Warren's team is making a gutsy, opportunistic bet with an extensive arena tour. The momentum is real, but he's not quite there yet. Expect face value (and maybe even discounted) tickets to be available come showtime.
