Post Malone El Paso kickoff faces 75% unsold seats on tour
post malone el paso opens on May 13 at Sun Bowl Stadium in Texas, and the problem is already obvious: some seats on Big Ass Stadium Tour Part 2 are reportedly still sitting empty weeks before launch. Jelly Roll is set to open, with Carter Faith on many dates, but the sales picture is uneven enough that some stops are being discounted for college students.
Sun Bowl Stadium on May 13
May 13 is the first test for the run, and El Paso sits at the center of it. Post Malone's tour begins at Sun Bowl Stadium there, after a 2024 country cycle that sold out coast to coast behind F-1 Trillion.
That earlier sellout run raises the pressure on this one because the current schedule is moving through bigger stadium rooms, not smaller theaters. A stadium date that opens with empty inventory is a different commercial signal from one that sells through in weeks.
75% unsold before launch
75% unsold is the figure hanging over the tour, with several venues said to be that light mere weeks before the first show. Discounts for college students on the May 23 Louisiana State University date and the June 5 University of Mississippi date show the routing is being worked harder than a standard summer stadium package.
Those numbers make the opening acts part of the sales story too. Jelly Roll is officially on the bill, and Carter Faith is slated for many of the shows, but the tour still needs a stronger conversion rate than the current inventory suggests.
Missoula on July 21
July 21 in Missoula, Montana, stands out as one of the few dates described as selling well at Washington-Grizzly Stadium. That kind of split tells you the issue is not uniform across the route; it is concentrated enough to force discounting on some stops while others hold up.
Post Malone has also been teasing a 40-song double album called The Eternal Buzz, and that new music could change the sales picture if it arrives before the summer run builds momentum. For now, the clean read is simpler: the tour opens with real demand in some markets, but El Paso is starting under the shadow of unsold inventory.
