jonty84 Posted April 9, 2005 Report Share Posted April 9, 2005 I reckon its a good thing. Mean Fiddler organise festivals like Leeds and Reading by cutting corners wherever they can, and jacking up the prices on everything - things like 3 a cheeseburger and not allowing people to take bottle caps into the arena are just bullshit, petty ways to get people to spend as much cash as possible, and at the end of the day they pay the artists and staff, and take the money and run.Having said that, this takeover will probably not affect the ticket prices, organisation or food and drink prices at Mean Fiddler events in the future, if anything they'll go up.Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlotte Posted April 9, 2005 Report Share Posted April 9, 2005 I don't think it will make any difference. You're just going from a huge company to an even huger multinational company. They're still going to want to squeeze every penny they can out of the events they run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Karloff Posted April 10, 2005 Report Share Posted April 10, 2005 ClearChannel is Murdoch and his Sky clowns onslaught into the music entertainments industry. This can only be a bad thing, corporations do not care about musical diversity, they care about selling product and maximising profit.
