The VIP treatment does pull in quite a bit of money also as the Jazzfest this year sold out both weekends at $600 buck a pop and I am told it was about 1000 VIP's per weekend. But Jazzfest is a non-profit gig as it run by the Jazz and Heritage Foundation but somebody is making some bucks off it.

Obviously, the sponsors want non-hippies there because hippies don't have any money. I have fond memories of Bonnaroo 04 and 05, but I might have to find another festi to attend in '07. Anyone hear of this "Langerado"? What I don’t get is that even if they’re pulling in more sponsor $ by booking The Police, they’re also shelling out more to book The Police.

I think those packages are far more profitable than one wook's ticket--or even a whole clown car of wooks. And to attract the real high rollers you need the high profile nostalgia acts and whichever indy sounds like Led-Zeppelin flavor of the month It’s all about the VIP and corporate $$$.

So why is Superfly spurning our hippie money? I mean, 75,000 people is 75,000 people, right? It's not like they tried to book a Bonnaroo one year with Phil and Panic headlining and only 40,000 showed up. I guess $250 is somehow worth more coming from crying 16 year old girls and pasty dudes who look like Wormser. So what that leaves is the theory that sponsors (AT&T, etc.) shell out more for festivals that book The White Stripes rather than Umphrey's McGee, which, I gotta say, makes sense. But something tells me it also has something to do with Superfly's egos and them wanting to say, "Dude! We totally booked The Police!" Whatever. I live in NYC, so 100% of bands that played Bonnaroo will be coming thru here in the next year. Some of them are even playing free during the summer.
