Digital Ocean said:That was a lifetime ago. Lenny barely moved two thousand tickets when he played Washington, D.C.โthatโs why the whole thing imploded. As for RS? Maybe if it were 1968, we'd call it the concert of the century, but thank God it's not happening today! ๐
The sky-high ticket prices are to blame.
Metallica and Lenny were paired up for Coachella. Instead of actually building a real festivalโyou know, one with a solid lineup of local bands and actual events surrounding the musicโthey just split the two headliners up. It's hardly even a festival when the artists bring their own stages instead of using the festival's setup. Then, they slap those ridiculous prices on you.
Some people just lack common sense. They had a golden opportunity right in front of them. Even a child could have heard about Coachella given how much they blasted it on TV.
If they had just booked everything for two days straightโa full schedule featuring Metallica, Lenny, Foo Fighters, Green Day, Soundgarden, Eddie Vedder, and a few othersโand set the price at $117 a massive crowd would have shown up, easily covering all the costs and turning a profit.
They didn't need "innovation." All they had to do was copy the proven festival model used successfully all over the world. But clearly, they couldn't manage that. Honestly, I think Crnariฤ is a thief among thieves, and the fact he isn't behind bars is a joke.
