To the poi...Good stuff Steve, an interesting read. To the point of the group sales reference that Saxe mentioned, since most of his shows are highly publicized on Goldstar and in the past they've done completely free 1st weeks for shows, perhaps that's the reference. I know for awhile there any new show that was opening would come up on goldstar.com for free for a 1-2 week period where they were only collecting fairly high service fees, but I have seen it and used the deal. <br /><br />Not trying to defend Saxe here, I think you made a fair point in your concern with the announcement, just trying to provide some additional insight.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17190937282558817928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8841356013250880291.post-56759810007023787292010-06-07T23:54:37.605-07:002010-06-07T23:54:37.605-07:00As someone who ran a ticket broker company in town...As someone who ran a ticket broker company in town for many years, I can say that David makes an accurate point regarding perception of the sales people when a show is delayed. Given the competition, any whiff of negativity can be a deal breaker when it comes to sales. You can't really blame the guy for trying to protect his product.<br /><br />AND - "in this economy" (hate that term) we probably should toss the guy a bone for putting people to work in that empty shell of a wasteland Steve Wyrick left behind.<br /><br />Now... if he'd just hire the bubble guy we'd be gold.Benzo Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12468074691646067658noreply@blogger.com
