Guest bluesxman Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 I think Geldof agreeing to play a 12,000 capacity venue in the first place either indicates he wasn't paying attention to his bookings or he is severely delusional over his crowd pulling abilities....wonder if his travel and accomodation was paid for, free holiday I suppose!

Guest Gasss Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 He ought to have played for the people that showed up and accepted it with dignity.If 45 people turned up to one of my gigs, I'd be punching the air Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The promoter agrees a fee to pay Bob, and it is up to them to pick venue, promote it etc etc, and they take any profits after expenses?Just a thought...
