gnfnrs1972 Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 I guess illegal downloads don't hurt the business as much as they cry about if they can afford stupid crap like this. Congrats for getting in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After looking for awhile they told me that they didn't see my name. I looked confused and told them the label should have done it and went on about how this "always happens." After a minute or so of this, they said "you know what...don't worry about it, here's a wristband." SCORE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats for getting in. The filthy rich always complain they don't make even more money. But concerts are expensive as fuck these days, im pretty sure the lack of album sales is virtually irrelevant when show tickets are so much more expensive, they are probably making more money now on touring alone than touring+album sales in the past. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ticket sales are high exactly because albums don't sell anymore. I'm sure they'll only get higher as time goes by and streaming gets bigger. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, tickets are expensive cause they figured out that people will pay that amount of money to see their favorite bands 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lame ass security Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Great job getting in there, I love that cloak and dagger stuff. It sounds like you have a knack for it. Maybe a thread can be started about sneaking into shows or events. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me and a couple of friends would do it to shows we didn't even like just to try. My first job was a pizza delivery guy. I used to show up to shows with a pizza bag and my uniform on...they would never even question it...they'd open the gate up right away. Haha. 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Ampitheatre shows. The first show i ever did it for was Poison and Cinderella in like 2002 haha. Also did Green Day / Blink 182 / Jimmy Eat World around that time. I snuck into the Chinese Democracy era of GNR but that was just by rolling under a fence haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then probably billed back to the band as a recoupable expense. In the end, the bands always pay for this stuff (promo, limo rides, theme party’s, etc) before royalty checks are made... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
