Nothing about it makes me sick.  Artists are stupid for setting their prices so low.

 

From the article:

 

"The biggest issue why fans can't get tickets is not bots or even because there are professional scalpers involved," Dean Budnick, coauthor of Ticket Masters: The Rise of the Concert Industry and How the Public Got Scalped, told me. "There are just so many amateurs who can buy from anywhere in the world and flip them on StubHub a few minutes later."

 

 

But look, for the vast majority of shows, you can get tickets.  It's only the super-hot ones you hear about.  For every sell-out there are 30 shows that don't sell out.

Ya, pretty decent.  I'm hearing they fully expect to lose money this year.  Build it up for next.   Greg Adams has lots of money.

They must be targeting the 60+ crowd! Good lineup but I am not sure that many in that demographic still want to do the outdoor festival thing.

I notice the website only has a ban on "narcotics", looks like they are pot friendly.

Tickets for The National in Vancouver at the Queen Elizabeth Dec 1 and 2 went on pre-sale this morning.  Four packs for the Friday show were gone in 5 minutes, nothing left but 2's in row 30+.

Elvis Don’t Mean Sh*t to Millennials

For years after his death in August 1977, the estate of Elvis Presley earned hundreds of millions of dollars flogging the King’s music and memorabilia. An entire industry grew up around Elvis: impersonators, stage shows, endless reissues of his music, all manner of swag and the turning of Graceland into a tourist destination. It’s been a great 40 years. But how much longer will this bonanza continue?

 

Elvis’ original fans are dying off. Gen Xers are moving on and no longer interested in liking Elvis, even ironically. And Gen Y and Z? Don’t even ask. Except that someone did.

 

A YouGov poll of over 2,000 Brits says that 29% of 18-24 year-olds have never, ever listening to a single Elvis song. None reported to listening to him daily and only 8% admitted to listening to an Elvis song at least once a month. When pressed, only 12% said they liked Elvis, compared to the Beatles (23%) and Bowie (25%).

The Guardian also reports that the value of Elvis merch and memorabilia is cratering, a bad sign leading up to the 40th anniversary of his death. Bookings for Elvis impersonators are falling. About the only positive sign is that streams of Elvis music are doing well, with 328 million streams in 2016. Compare that to Bowie (600 million) and Michael Jackson (1.3 billion).

 

To everything there is a season, I guess.

Matt.

I wanted to get two tickets for the Dec 2 show, but I was in a meeting and couldn't get online until fifteen minutes after the presale started. By that point, there were only single tickets available. Ticketmaster also would only let me use the "find best available" feature, so I couldn't even buy two single tickets near each other.

 

I'll try again with the general public sale on Friday, but I'm not holding out hope. I imagine bots will slurp up the tickets in a matter of nanoseconds.

I like Peter Mansbridge but no way am I paying that kind of money to listen to him read the news for two hours.

Maaaan - you know you're getting older when you start to sound like your parents: "who? what? Never heard of them!'

 

All I know about the National is that for decades its been the CBC late night 11pm newscast. Peter Mansbridge, Lloyd Robertson and for the real old timers, George Finstad, were the members of that group as far as I am concerned :). In spite of having a teen millennial in the house I've no clue who this band is, lol....
