I know putting together a concert is a monumental task, I'm just astounded they don't seem to learn lessons from other events. The clear profiteering is also so evident that they'll get bands to come once and then possibly never come back. I have no doubt that getting an American band to play the Middle East requires a big fee, the prices were laughable though, as above you could get a 2 day festival ticket anywhere in the world for the price of a cage ticket.
Yes, applaud promoters for bringing bands over, but they clearly should be accountable for putting on an event that will attract both bands and customers to come back.
Green Day coming in the autumn.
