Demolish Nissan Pavilion...the Coldplay thread.

[Seth Hurwitz]

Nissan holds 25,000
 
 930 holds 1200
 
 you do the math

That's about 21 930 shows...
 
 A couple of years back Tom Petty did an entire month at the Filmore in SF.  I don't think you've ever done anything similar, have you?  Not that it makes great business sense but it's an interesting idea, taking a pretty good selling artist and giving them an entire month of shows at the club.  Hey that's all the rage in Vegas.  They built brand new theatres for Celine and Elton.  They don't have to lug their gear all over the country for a tour but they still charge the same amount for tickets and they play in the same place every night.
 
 What great band can you convince not to go on tour but play a month of shows at the 930 instead???

Good Charlotte?

It took us 3 1/2 hours from Columbia, MD.  I'll never do it again.  Philly, NYC, here I come.  At least the 3+ hour drive to New York would be worth it.  Goddamn Virginia roads!  What a backwards state!

[Seth Hurwitz]

the problem is that, as many times as people say they're not going back there, they go anyway
 
 so it's very hard to convince a band like Coldplay that people don't want to go there when the show sells out
 
 believe me, I tried
 
 and now they are able to say I was wrong, people will go there
 
 and I'm thinking maybe they're right...I mean, they obviously are right

I go to around 12-15 shows a year, and I've still never been to Nissan, because of the traffic issues.  I'll go to Baltimore, Philly, A.C., NY, even Vegas for shows, but no Nissan. there's never been a show there worth that fight. so there's one for you Seth.  Tell Coldplay's management. Psyched for Wee Fighters/Foozer tomorrow.

So Seth, is that your justification for giving people the shaft on the price of a yuengling?

It's the wages of sin...the price that you must pay for even wanting to go and see Hanson &/or Tom Jones.

no, but it's the same supply/demand theory...if sales drop, then we will obviously need to reconsider...you should quit buying it if it bothers you that much
 
 when was the last time you remember the price of Yuengling changing?

Oh, I stopped buying drinks at the 930 a long time ago Seth so it's no big deal at all for me. I stopped buying drinks, then stopped going to the club on a regular basis, then I moved away...so losing my business is not going to cause you to sell that Lear Jet you commute in!    
 
 Besides, I've been saying exactly the same as you regarding the price of beer and the cost of a night out in general...stop whining and stop going or nothing will change, and I don't blame the club for making as much profit as you can....you're running a business for God's sake!

While I havent stopped completely, cold turkey, on Saturday I did my drinking at the Saloon.  $6.50 for 20 oz of Double Diamond.  I'd say that far improves upon the $6 yuengling.  Didn't have any beer at 9:30 at all...on a Saturday night.  That's a sea change for me.  (I had a couple Heineken's at the Club on Friday, but mostly drank at DC9 -- $2 Yuengling between 9 and 10:00.  Hot damn)

Are you referring to this, kosmo? 

[sonickteam2]

Are you referring to this, kosmo? 

i think he was referring to a whole different website! 
 but this thread was funny as Seth seemed to get defensive and believe that the people who were complaining about Nissan were also the people going.

  we could start that back up again, no problem! it was entertaining!

[sweetcell]

speaking on entertaining in this thread:

wow.  i have never been to the Nissan Pavilion and I have never heard anything good about it.
 
    I would go if Radiohead was playing. thats probably it though.

great prediction, sonick!  3 years before it actually happened...
