Business Sucks & It's Everybody Else's Fault - A Look Behind The
Live Music Curtain
There'll be no shortage of hot topics at this session, coming on the heels of the most brutal concert season in years. Bookers and venue operators are awash in regulations and government good-intentions run amok. We'll hear you out and feel your pain on many of these, including border horror stories, taxation, immigration regs, the hefty 15% withholding tax and insurance. Operators on all sides of the concert-booking experience will hash out revenue issues like tax harmonization, ticket price elasticity, artist development, the record industry downturn, the bullish loonie and the squeeze of Indie promoters.
