Okay, time to break down pieces of this article from Reuters. Article is indented, my comments below.
Lollapalooza organizers admit that early sales are disappointing in some markets. But they say this may be the way festivals sell post-Sept. 11, 2001. … “Some of these ticket counts are not unusual and not different from what we’re seeing on other festivals,” Wavra continues. “We may be finding out that the buying pattern has changed since 9/11 and the war.”
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Seriously, that made my anus hurt I laughed so hard. How lame is it to blame the death of thousands of people as the reason kids don’t want to go to this shitty concert? It’s so sad it’s hilarious.
“We have a strong value proposition to the customer, when you look at the quality of the acts and ticket prices,” Schneider says. Tickets run from $40 to $60. “We have a compelling show we’re putting forward to the public.”
Is this the first time the word value was used when discussing Lollapalooza? We have a pretty good discussion going on in our message board regarding how much the ticket value is worth. Donewaiting.com users say: not much.
Both Wavra and Schneider believe the tour will get a boost from the release of the new Jane’s Addiction album later this summer.
Seriously, okay, come on now. This article is filled with so many ridiculous statements, I am looking around my office here wondering if there is a hidden camera TV show watching me, to see my responses. Is that you, Jamie Kenndy? Or Am I being Punk’d?
Newsflash to all: Jane’s Addiction Album will not sell 500,000 copies. Garunteed.
I can’t handle this anymore.
