Meals On Wheels Atlanta’s Post

New article out for Delilah Magazine UCLU. I discuss the modern era of ticket reselling, and how it potentially creates tension within music fan communities and beyond. I particularly touch on how ticket vendors themselves may be in legal trouble due to their alleged violation of antitrust laws that allow them to take advantage of their position in the market!

Easy, buy concert tickets and then sell at a premium: Forget SME IPOs and listing gains. Reseller prices soared 26x for Coldplay's concert Whether it's Coldplay, Diljit Dosanjh or others The demand is crazy and people are lapping up tickets at any cost Tickets are being resold at 10 to 20 times original price 50% of people are buying tickets to make money and not even attend the show Look at this: ↳ Floor tickets initially at ₹6k now sold for ₹50k ↳ Level 2 tickets earlier at ₹12.5k now at ₹3.3 lac ↳ Lounge tickets earlier at ₹35k now at ₹10 lacs People are creating FOMO, inflating prices and pocketing a hefty gain. I am all in for experiences and you live only once But would you pay 10-20x of the original price? P.S. - what do you think of this black selling and profiteering? ====== Follow me (Ritesh Sabharwal CFP®) as I Simplify Personal Finance and Investing

KISS OFF!! That's the title of a video I recorded earlier, and also similar to some of the words I used when trying to upload it here on LI. For some reason I simply can't upload videos here any more - it just freezes my computer for about 20 minutes! It's probably a hardware issue at my end, but oh blimey it's annoying! If you fancy watching it, and I'm talking about music, content, profit, then here it is on the old youtubes ;-) #thegreatgordino #thecontentmonetisationmachine #contentmonetisation #musicmatters #socialmediamarketing https://lnkd.in/e69ErW6G

#FounderFriday - Just go ahead and turn on the sound. It feels like this is a great anthem for founders- swap the word #Gambler to #Founder. It has played in my mind many times this year, along with Maverick City Music - Fear is Not My Future. https://lnkd.in/g8gHqGnb Here are a few deep - insightful learnings from Kenny Rogers for all of us founders: 1. Have a mentor and learn from that mentor 2. Know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em 3. Know when to walk away, know when to run 4. Never count your money sitting at the table - time enough for counting when the deal is done The video is an extra special touch. Do you have a song that plays in your mind as a founder?

The first half of this year has been incredible for Farrago's live music agency! With our new hire Louis Vellacott taking the helm, we've expanded our reach, partnering with amazing venues like Soho House & Co, Bubba Hospitality Group, and Brixton Jamm. While working with new pubs, we’ve discovered a key trend: many pubs post-pandemic are struggling with razor-thin margins (as low as 0.5%). Despite the potential boost in footfall and bar sales, many pubs hesitate to invest in live music. The challenge? Uncertainty. They worry about drawing enough of the local crowd to justify the cost of the musicians. We think we’ve found a couple solutions to this problem: 1) Free Drinks Promotions: We've partnered with Diageo (thanks to Emma Hamilton and the rest of the team) on free drink promotions at select pubs. This win-win-win strategy boosted pub attendance & sales while giving Diageo valuable exposure to a passionate music audience. 2) Tap into a Wider Music Community: Farrago goes beyond local crowds. We connect pubs with a network of music fans eager to discover new artists: the Farrago community. This expands their customer base significantly. Do you know a pub or venue that could benefit from the power of grassroots live music? Visit www.farrago.club/agency to learn more or reach out to us at [email protected]
