Wow! Over 120k tickets sold. We have achieved far beyond the amount of support we could have ever imagined. We thank
NiallOfficial</a> from the bottom of our hearts for speaking so eloquently about touring crew. We also want to thank everyone who supported & everyone involved. WNC x <a href="https://t.co/Ln4VPTifZe">pic.twitter.com/Ln4VPTifZe</a></p>— WeNeedCrew (WeNeedCrew) November 7, 2020
