Rolling Stones, always a trailblazer in the concert industry, were also the first act to take a cut of the fees according to founder and CEO from 1982 to 1998 Fred Rosen. From a fascinating in-depth interview via my favorite music podcast. Lefsetz asks when did Ticketmaster start sharing the fees with the acts he said not while I was in charge. Except for the Rolling Stones!

Seems to me a lot of amateurs bought into the hype of the alleged "$5000 tickets" and went all in Houston and Tulsa since those were the 2 shows where tickets were actually easy to get. And this is precisely why I have always advocated for unrestricted resale. I am a big fan of going to any concert if I can get in for $10. If someone else pays a thousand it's not my problem.

I thought Rock In Rio was a possibility but I think it's every other year so that would exclude 2023.

It looks like Springsteen is out and from what I understand he was going to anchor the whole thing. If they were to do it again it might be (and I thought about this way back in 2016) The Cure - Depeche Mode - Radiohead or something similar. Not only are the classic rock acts that could actually fill the place dropping, you need acts with multigenerational appeal who would actually go to this
