re: Rolling Stones no longer performing at 2019 NO Jazz Fest

Just drifting away in Margaritaville.

I'm sure ticket prices will be lowered.

Somebody getting a hip replacement?

quote:

, a single day max attendance is 160,000 at jazz fest

The stones day sold out at an elevated ticket price of $200 per ticket 

So this is $32,000,000 they are going to have to refund 

Even if they just go to the normal ticket price of $85 for that day and still sell out that’s an $18,500,000 loss

The stones day had limited tickets. They were the only band playing after 4 so all people would go to that stage so they may have sold 50 to 60 thousand tickets

Now the issue will be will the organizers be able to fill all those empty stages with decent acts. Or will they announce some other big headliner

A large part of that was The Rolling Stones take from the ticket sales, so the math is not as simple as a loss. There was a huge expense of having The Rolling Stones. They will lower the ticket cost to cover their margins and won’t have the expense of the Stones anymore.

With that said, this is a complete failure. they were price gouging for the Stones and now to lose them this close is a giant clusterfrick.

Garth come on down

I guess that 19th nervous breakdown finally came.

They are still alive?

Perhaps Jussie can take their place.
