"To be brutally honest, there has been no effect, other than the odd phone call to a building inquiring about a refund. There's a lot more noise than action," says Light, head of the music division at Creative Artists Agency.
"Actually, the buildings are getting more asking, if there are refunds, can they buy the tickets." Light says there are no refunds.
He says that of 59 shows, only six have seats left, and those are all 85%-90% sold out and expected to go clean. |
