Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

[Johnny Mars Bar]

A question mate as you seem to know your onions. A lots said about the the co op being a much better venue than Mcr arena. But isn’t the arena part of a chain of arenas in uk that could block book artists and force them out of playing our venue?

Agents represent artists and have relationships with particular promoters. Promoters have their preferred venues (but often diary availability and having to line this up between artist and venue..).

Venues in and of themselves have fuck all control over blocking artists from playing elsewhere.

The biggest player being Live Nation - who are promoters, venue operators (all the 'O2' / Academy group venues in this country) and ticket agents (Ticketmaster).

Their vertical integration is insane.

The Mcr Arena is owned by ASM - American company who own Leeds arena, OVO Wembley, the Hydro in Glasgow, loads of others. They're in the business of hiring out a room to promoters, not getting involved with artists or doing any in-house bookings.

Yeah I kind of meant promoters when I said artists. ASM Global certainly have a lot of venues under their wing that’s for sure. They seem a sort of city football group of entertainment venue! If I were them I’d be doing deals to cut of co op live that’s for sure. Block book u2 to play their 3 or 4 biggest uk venues at a bigger cut if they leave out co op live from the tour type of thing. I wonder if silverlake and adug have any plans to expand joint ventures in other locations, in particular Cfg locations, melbourne, New York etc…..

Saw these a while back and wondered if it would steer things arena way.
