Whoever is doing the booking for R&R Hotel is not fucking around.
On the other hand, I haven't been to Velvet Lounge, DC9, or Iota in a long time.

Venues
I'd think the Black Cat is hurting the most from RNR Hotel, actually.
And you should go see Mark Eitzel tomorrow @ Iota.

i just posted this in just announced, but R&R hotel is booking some GREAT bands
rock n roll is definitely hurting black cat.
Good, maybe the Black Cat will start running their joint a little better.
Iota's calendar is definitely not what it used to be [for at least a couple of years]. Even Jammin' Java books some better acts than they do.
Anyhow, I'll make it to RnR at some point - I'd love to see Midlake.

Brindley Bros teasing a big announcement on the 15th….
Damn this thread is painful. Miss Iota, funny/sad that R&R and Velvet are gone, Black Cat seems even more so like a shadow of itself compared to the early 2000s. This and getting 4 hours of sleep last night is making my bones feel they're crumbling, wadded paper mâché.
so just a rebrand?
amazing how much they have grown, can't believe it's been over 2 decades

It’s been over two decades but the growth seems to have really taken off the past 7 or so years. I wonder where they are getting the capital investment.
There was speculation they would pick up Ransheadlive in Baltimore….

Richmond’s new waterfront amphitheater has a named sponsor — Allianz.
Supposedly first show listings will start being announced in next 2-3 weeks. Opening June 2025. They hope to steal most of Charlottesville Pavilion and Browns Islands bookings. We’ll see.

will you become a Season Ticket holder?
Why don't DC venues do this??

Would buy
The national VIP thing was $5k for two tickets the last year I did it which was like 18 months ago. Was extremely easy to transfer to others when I didn’t use it.
Easily raised nearly that much back for charities a year just by making “a package” with my unused tickets plus a restaurant gift card and letting them auction it off. People would pay such an insane premium to sit in the balcony and have a private bar. The market is there.

When Union stage was opening or being built I guess the Brindley bros needed cash and as I recall they did sell some passes for all the shows..some perks were included..
I can’t recall the specifics.
Being a mere plebeian pauper I am against the VIPfication of concerts but I know the demand is there.
Don’t they have something like that at Filmore? I know Warner used to have “boxes” corporations would buy circa 2006-2009 when I dabbled working there…but I believe things have changed.

Every time I’ve been to FSS the vip areas were available for purchase for an individual concert. The Nationals thing is it’s all annual subscription.

True but are they all available for all shows? Or are some of them set aside for companies or repeat patrons. I really don’t know. Anyways there are very few shows there I am interested in. Like one a year.
I think if I could do this anywhere-buy a one year subscription- it would be Atlantis. I like what they are doing booking wise.
But who am I kidding? I don’t go to many shows and am a perpetual plebeian pauper.
