Booking Agent Info’s Post

In today's digital age, user-generated content (UGC) has become a powerful tool for gauging public sentiment and understanding trends. Coachella, known for its vibrant atmosphere and celebrity attendees, serves as a microcosm of popular culture, making its UGC particularly insightful. Song Sleuth ran an analysis on all user-generated content (UGC) uploaded to YouTube up to one week after the festival and discovered a total of 1,291 videos which had collectively garnered over 14.2 million views after just two weeks. Check out our in depth analysis and insights on this data in the article below. Shout out to Kitty Lester for always putting it together so well! #CoachellaInsights #UGCAnalysis #SocialMediaAnalytics #MusicFestivalData #YouTubeTrends #DigitalInsights

Disappointed would be an understatement to describe the experience customers are having with BookMyShow’s SPXCEJXM Festival. Here’s a breakdown of the timeline: August 19th, 2023: BookMyShow listed a music festival to be held on November 4th & 5th, 2023, in Mumbai & Bengaluru, featuring artists like Kodaline and Ali Gatie. October 15th, 2023: BookMyShow notified all customers of the festival's postponement to April 27th-28th, 2024, due to undisclosed reasons. Customers were given until November 15th, 2023, to opt for a refund or retain their tickets using a Google form. After the postponement to April 2024, the refund process turned into a saga of endless waiting. Months passed without updates, leaving customers feeling scammed and disregarded. Even as tickets were still being sold, refunds remained elusive for many credit card users. Some even considered filing an FIR against BookMyShow and the organizers. https://lnkd.in/dG326Zhe February 29th, 2024: Customers received a text message from BookMyShow stating that refunds had been processed and should be received within 7-10 working days. However, many credit card users are still waiting for their refunds. April 7th, 2024: BookMyShow's vague responses and failure to provide transaction details only added to the frustration. Despite assurances of NEFT transactions, many are yet to receive their refunds. As one affected customer, I'm left questioning BookMyShow's integrity and customer service. Their actions have eroded any respect I had for the brand. It's been over six months since BookMyShow has been holding onto customers' money without providing any substantial reason or update. This lack of transparency has left customers feeling clueless and disregarded. So, what's the next step? Should we continue waiting in vain or explore legal options? Share your thoughts on how to address this issue. It's time for BookMyShow to take accountability and prioritize their customers' trust. Ashish Hemrajani #CustomerExperience #BookyMyShow #SpxceJxm

My Journey at the BIR MUSIC FESTIVAL : A Tapestry of Achievements and Emotions When I look back at my time with the Bir Music Festival, a wave of pride, joy, and nostalgia washes over me. The festival has been a journey, a blend of hard work, creativity, and unforgettable moments. This season was a whirlwind of activity. Balancing artist and stage management, all creative work, and sponsorship management was intense, but it was also incredibly rewarding. The festival's growth and the positive feedback from participants were testaments to the team's hard work and dedication. It felt like everything was coming together, and the festival was evolving into something bigger and better. #ANewChapter  As I embark on Season XI, the excitement is palpable. Each season has been a stepping stone, and I'm eager to see how this one unfolds. The challenges, the successes, and the experiences yet to come fill me with anticipation. #TheEmotional HighsThroughout these seasons, the emotional highs have been numerous. From the thrill of a successful event to the quiet moments of reflection after the crowds have gone, each experience has left an indelible mark on my heart. The camaraderie with fellow organizers, the smiles of attendees, and the feeling of being part of something truly special are emotions I will carry with me forever. #BirMusicFestival #FestivalJourney #EventManagement #MusicFestivals #FestivalAchievements #EmotionalJourney #CreativeLeadership #ArtistManagement #EventSuccess #FestivalLife #LiveMusicExperience #FestivalOrganizer #FestivalInspiration #EventPro #FestivalMemories #LeadershipInEvents #MusicFestivalSeason #FestivalCommunity #VolunteerExperience #FestivalMagic #CareerAchievements #FestivalNostalgia #SustainableEvents

Why British Nightlife is shutting down taking with it, all its magic and messy glory A great report covering many of the problems facing Nightlife today Many in Government 'think' our Nightlife sector isn't doing too badly, they only see the international front-page headlines about the megastars, they only read reports on increased ticket sales that only cover the large arena sector Our Nightlife, OUR Music, Arts & Culture scene is DYING, with THOUSANDS of venues already permanently closed and many, many more barely hanging on. The cost of seeing an A-Lister Act in Large concert halls and Mega Arenas is now out of reach for most people. So where will the average person go to see Live entertainment in the future if all our Independent venues have CLOSED DOWN New Music, New Styles, NEW CULTURE, never starts in a mega arena in the Big City NO, it starts in our smaller Independent Venues in small towns. We are the entrepreneurs who will give that unknown act, that new sound a chance, WE are the Venues who start that underground sound and grow it into the new Mainstream, the next Mega Artist We can #SaveNightlife and bring back that Vibrant atmosphere which attracts people to town/city living It really isn't that difficult or complex to develop a plan that allows both sectors to live & work in harmony. .

On Friday May 3rd, less than 15 hours before the start of Lovers and Friends Festival 2024, organizers dramatically announced the cancellation of the one-day music festival at the Las Vegas Festival Grounds. The decision was taken because of “the National Weather Service issuing a High Wind Warning”. The star-studded festival was due to be headlined by acts such as Janet Jackson, Usher and The Backstreet Boys and featured over 60 other artists, now abruptly cancelled on account of dangerous weather conditions. What does the cancellation of an event of this size mean for the organizers of the event? Their costs, profits and even reputation? Here we see an example the need for Contigency, Cancellation and Non-Appearance cover. An Events Liability policy would not respond to cancellation of the event. Make sure you know the difference between covers and that your client benefits from both.

This is a good indicator that past success will not result in positive results today. However with the increase in ticket pricing some might say the event was still successful even of occupancy was down for many valid reasons. It will be interesting to see what next year brings.

Pearl Jam, Green Day, Hozier & Kings of Leon should be able to sell out a music festival right? Right? Well not exactly. Marlay Park Festival in Dublin struggled to sell out their festival. And many theories are floating around as to why. Some claim that the lineup is not current and others balk at the excessive festival ticket prices ($117.25) Some say artist fees are so high that the tickets have to justify the fees and others are saying the location is upsetting locals which is why there's a curfew at 11 pm. So, which is it? The truth is everyone can assume, but no one knows because fan feedback is the last on the list for most promoters. And I do not blame the promoter. As one myself, I've always assumed that booking a great lineup is our service back to the fans. But how wrong have I been? We don't have transparent data that can guide promoters in creating the right content and this will continue. Trust me. More festivals will fall.

The Coachella Valley Music Festival has prompted numerous investors to purchase properties in close proximity to the festival, as the parties and overnight guests produce significant revenue. However, current demand for all short-term rentals in Coachella Valley is down 12% year-over-year for the first of the two weekends, the most popular time span. To compare, last year, 75% of demand for both weekends of the festival were already booked at this point. Despite reduced demand for rentals during Coachella festival weekends, demand is up 39% year-over-year for Stagecoach, the country music festival held the weekend after the two Coachella festival weekends. This increased demand is giving property owners hope that there will be expanding opportunities for event rentals beyond Coachella. #realestate #coachella #musicfestival #investors #properties #revenue #rentals #demand #stagecoach #opportunities #restructurednews If you're interested to learn more about our newsletter, subscribe here: www.restructurednews.com or follow us on Instagram @restructurednews and TikTok @restructurednews
