Green Day, Weezer, and Fallout Boy can move 35-60K tickets per market? These are some massive venues...the kids will come out to see Weezer (thanks to Africa) and Fallout Boy (thanks to their Radio Disney/Jock Jams rebirth) but Green Day hasn’t had a crossover hit in over a decade.
If prices are north of $75, they might have an issue filling these venues.

What makes you think this tour is for "the kids" ?

i'm not sure if these bands can fill stadiums, but i know i always underestimate the current popularity of 90s/early 00s pop punk. i'm 38, i think to a large group of people 4-8 years younger than me those bands are a big deal nostalgia-wise.
quick story about the first time i ever felt old: i did theater in high school, 1996-2000. My pop-punk period was Green Day's "Dookie", those two Rancid albums, and that one Offspring album. My senior year before the first spring show the whole cast and crew were backstage doing makeup, and somebody put Blink-182 "Enema of the State" on. Of course I knew the singles, but had never listened to the album, and the freshman theater kids all in unison sung every goddamn lyric. It was the first time I realized I'd completely missed some big musical thing.
for the next five years i took drugs and listened to widespread panic.

Stadiums seems right. They’d easily fill arenas or amphitheaters, and hopefully this lets them keep the cheap seats cheap and prevent a huge aftermarket.

I honestly thought bands like Fallout Boy and Panic At The Disco are mostly playing to teens now?

I think Green Day and Weezer will have a stronghold on the teenage demographic for a while, like Nirvana. They seem to be the introductory bands to alternative music for a lot of people. Fall Out Boy was actually surprisingly big in 2015 (that year's album sold 1m units in about a year) but last years album seems to be floating around the 200k-300k mark so this tour coming now makes sense. Then there's also the 20's crowd who lived through FoB's "good" years and also the American Idiot/Beverly Hills years that should come. I think the crowd will actually be fairly diverse in terms of age but the price confuses me. This seems like a tour that people would be like "yeah I'd spend $35 on that" cause it's easy to get a group of people to go but ballpark tickets can get pricy.

Looks like ticket prices for the Toronto show range from $68 CAD to $215 CAD
