I wonder if QOTSA will be $100 as well. I checked the other cities but they didn't have prices. It did look like Royal Blood was the opener in other cities.
Was wondering the same thing. Can't imagine they command what Lorde or Foos do. Royal Blood rules. I've missed them at Dc9 and 930 smh.

ah to be a fly in Seth's head….I mean do you sell 6000 tickets at $40 or do you sell 4000 at $60? or some other variant?
the venue's capacity flexibility means that price elasticity for tickets has an impact I guess..

Will a sold out Anthem feel as cramped as a sold out 9:30 Club?

I find the Anthem-Merriweather boundary more intriguing. Obviously the Anthem, despite its capacity being around 10,000 people less, will function as a Merriweather surrogate during the fall and winter, as well as a replacement for the shows Seth put on at Echostage. LCD Soundsystem and St. Vincent could be Merriweather shows during the summer, no? Conversely, if the Anthem was already open, maybe, say, Ryan Adams or Sigur Rós would have played there. A calculus will surely develop to determine which venue truly suits an act better.
Most 9:30 shows seem obviously appropriate for the club. There are exceptions, though. Elbow in November could have played the Anthem. Or any 9:30 show which easily sells out (Banks a month or so ago, the upcoming Cranberries gig [which seems perilously close to being canceled for health reasons]).

I'm thinking it'll destroy Echostage actually. Echostage will basically exist off of EDM's last gasp. I don't see it doing much business beyond that. The Replacements show will forever go down as one of the biggest disappointments I've seen because of venue and not because of the band's performance necessarily. But the days of rock shows there should be over.
The 9:30 will still be there for plenty of shows. You'll never see the Jesus and Mary Chain or Best Coast at Anthem. But bands like Death Cab for Cutie, the Pixies, the Prodigy, Future Islands, etc could probably attract respectable numbers there. Maybe not sellouts, but again…if ticket prices are right, they could do it. Or maybe bands will prefer to play at the 9:30 but they'll command a higher ticket price for a more intimate show. I could see that too.

Events at the venue are managed by Panorama Productions
Created in 1995 by Antonis Karagounis, Panorama Productions has utilized an extensive
marketing strategy to create a brand name that has become recognized and respected
as the leader in event planning, and promotions in the Washington Metropolitan region.
Our playing field is DC Clubs, DC Lounges, DC Parties and DC Nightlife in general.
Over the past 15 years, Panorama has built a strong and loyal following by providing an
intense and unique atmosphere that has helped redefine DC Nightlife. Much of its
success can be attributed to the appeal of its events to a wide variety of patrons, who
continue to congregate on a weekly basis to enjoy local, national, and international music
and dance club culture.
Being the largest promotions company of its kind in Washington DC, Panorama
Productions and its subsidiary, DC Clubbing is known throughout the world as a Mecca
for memorable nightlife events and parties and has attracted the biggest stars in the DJ
universe, including Tiesto, Paul Van Dyk, Armin Van Buuren, Ferry Corsten, Benny Benassi,
David Guetta and many others. Panorama’s list of venues is equally impressive with
signature events at DC clubs like Platinum, Love, DC Live, Spy Club, Zei Club, Fur,
Insomnia and Coco Loco.
Currently, you can find Panorama Productions lighting up DC nightlife on Tuesdays and
Wednesdays at Lima (1401 K St NW), Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at Ultrabar
(911 F St. NW), and Saturdays with their flagship event, Glow at Fur nightclub
(33 Patterson St. NE). From college events to cocktail soirees to DJs “massives,”
Panorama runs the gamut in DC nightlife and entertainment and has established itself
as a force to be reckoned with, in the nightlife, club industry. Often imitated, never duplicated,
Panorama represents the promotional model that other companies aspire to be. DC
clubbing will never be the same.

Barf.
Also, this reads like Panorama is a promoter, not a club owner.

only the shows that are too big for 930 but seth didn't have another option (echostage doesn't work for everything, and seth isn't the operator there… little incentive to use that anymore, i would think).
i'm wondering if ever a 930 show starts selling better than expected, will it ever be moved to Anthem? and if an Anthem show's ticket sales are under-performing, will it be moved to 930?
