Fontaines D.C. Intimate Shows: New York & Los Angeles

Overview

Fontaines D.C. announced two intimate US shows for September 2026, taking the band to Kings Theatre in New York on 21 September and Hollywood Forever in Los Angeles on 25 September.

Both venues were small relative to the band's following, with capacities of approximately 3,250 in New York and 5,000 in Los Angeles. This created an attractive supply-and-demand setup when tickets went on sale in August.

House of Resell identified New York as the priority, particularly for the cheapest seated tickets and front rows. Los Angeles also offered strong demand potential, but the venue stated that tickets would be non-transferable, adding considerably more resale risk.

With tickets estimated to start around $60, approximately £45, the original resale prediction was around 2x retail.

Breaking Down the Flip

New York's 3,250-capacity Kings Theatre offered a strong scarcity setup for a band with a significantly larger following.

Tickets were estimated around £45, with House of Resell predicting approximately 2x resale if demand converted after release.

Cheapest seated and front rows in New York were preferred, while General Admission was the target for Los Angeles.

Los Angeles carried additional risk because the venue stated tickets were non-transferable, making New York the cleaner resale opportunity.

Final Thoughts

This release had the ingredients of a strong ticket opportunity: a popular band, unusually small venues and very limited September dates.

New York was the standout. At just 3,250 capacity, the combination of standing and seated inventory offered several ticket types to target without the transfer concerns attached to Los Angeles.

The main uncertainty is that the information supplied gives us the original £45 estimated retail and 2x resale prediction, but no confirmed August secondary-market sales yet. So I wouldn't present £90 as an achieved resale price in the finished article.
