Four Questions With Fergie · May 31, 02:42 PM by Jayalicious
Q: Why did you decide to do things this way?
Fergie: I wanted to try something different for my first time out on a solo tour. Small venues, free tickets and cool technology at all of the shows. What better way for me to connect with my fans directly and to get things started on my first solo tour?
Q: How much control did you have over deciding to have a high-tech tour?
Fergie: I’ve had a lot of control actually. It’s been a collaborative process with my team and the folks at Verizon. Originally, my manager came to me with the basic idea of giving away free tix thru the cell phone, based on his early discussions with Verizon. Then he and I discussed all the ways I could communicate with my fans directly and we just ran with it.
Q: What benefits do you think it will have for your fan base?
Fergie: First, the shows are all basically free, so that’s a huge benefit right off the bat. Plus, the shows are all in small venues, so it’s a nice intimate concert evening. I think the fans will get a better understanding of who I am as an artist and performer.
Q: What do you think about the crowd at the Murat?
Fergie: Loved them! The screams were sooo loud, I could really feel the fans at the show. Can’t wait to come back.
