A few weeks ago in "A New Darkness on the Edge of Town" and discussing the Bruce show at Giant's stadium, I alluded to a change on the horizon for big concerts and stadium shows, as we once knew them.. The below On the Media interview with Concert promoter John Scher directly addresses this "phenomenon" and characterizes such as the "dark ages" for concert promotion in years ahead. And I couldn't agree more. (although i don't agree with his theory as to why ticket prices are so high these days. It's my impression if promoters saw people scalping 35.00 tix for 150.00, promoters got savvy and simply cut out another middleman. Did staging acts really see "that" much of an increase in their take home ?
