40% of Live Nation Seats Go Unsold...

Here's the riddle: Groupon can definitely fill seats, but they can also generate a culture of bottom-scraping fans.  "Concertgoers may well expect further last minute discounts to appear next time around," the researchers stated.  "While this might work with clothing stores and beauty spas, it does not sit easily with the intimate relationship of a band and their own fans." [emphasis in original]

From the commments:

Let me tell you about the time when Live Nation didn't market a show by a Latin artist to the local Latino community…

Honestly, I haven't kept up on their offerings, just wondering if it was all lip service.

Speaking of late nite eats (well, over in that other thread anyways), Stage Burger opens next to the Fillmore tomorrow.  Highly unfortunate names, hope the food is better….

is it just me . . .

or has the "dc music venue war" began?

They don't have a single band scheduled for april? 

Lady and gentlemen.  We are one week out from Heilung. Let the ritual begin!

Anyone else wonder if and how profitable Fillmore SS has been.
I mean I've always had precocious (or as an adult, classist/hipster) musical tastes, but am I just so old that I can't tell that the majority of the acts billed there are relevant? Shouldn't there be at least a few bands a month/year/decade that would catch my eye? I mean they're hosting proms and silent dance parties. Is it that unprofitable to host a few local showcases once in awhile (now that's just a loser band jerk gripe)?

It's 100% not profitable… I'm sure you could find the information here or the Google, but this was a heated topic on here years ago. I'm pretty sure they received millions of dollars in funding/tax credits/etc. I'm sure it some point in the coming years it will become a Fuddruckers or something.

They had Carly Rae Jepsen last summer. I don't know how much more "they're clowning on IMP" you can get?

Speaking of punching the clown, wonder what's going on with the fearless leader lately?

There was a Fuddruckers within walking distance but it closed, just like most of the other locations.

Always room for more 🐔

I knew about the subsidies and all that, but unless their business model is based on profit/loss tax games, you would think that they would try and have a variety of acts, considering that the I.M.P. manages to shake up their offerings. I mean considering the scale of LiveNation.
Though, Amazon "runs at a loss" so… Business!

did anyone else go to the Heilung show last night?  Is it normal to take 2 hours for everyone to get inside during sold out shows? good lord - they had to delay the show by 1 hour because not everyone was inside yet.  Doors were at 7, we showed up at 7:15 and the line wrapped all the way around the block behind the fillmore.  We moved maybe a few feet in 45 minutes - took us 1 hour to make it inside (we made it inside at 8:15, show was supposed to start at 8).  It seemed something changed around 8pm and the line started moving much faster.  Totally insane though.

Reports people…we want to live vicariously though them
