i haven't been to any concerts this year mostly because i don't have the time. i have been to them though and like them. i usually buy songs off the internet like i tunes. "According to Pollstar, ticket sales dropped 12% from last year, and gross revenue of the top 100 tours nationally fell almost 13%. That’s 4.8 million fewer tickets and a $300 million decline overall."
It’s April, and near triple-digit temperatures are baking the desert around Indio, Calif. But that’s not stopping more than 100,000 fans from descending upon the Empire Polo Club for a weekend of dancing, debauchery and decibels. I like how loyal the fans are to go out there in the blazing weather and enjoy themselves.
I never been to a concert because i never had the time .
But i really like to see Linkin park play. I usually listen to them on the internet or on t.v.
Did you know according to pollstar , ticker sales dropped 12% from last year and gross revenue of the top 100 tours nationally fell almost 13%. That almost 4.8 million fewer and a $300 million decline overall.
Thank u for reading this
I haven't been to any concerts before mostly because they are so expensive. I use Pandora on m ipod and get songs off the internet. Pandora has a lot of music on it and a bunch of different genres of music. iTunes is a good place to get music too because there is such a wide variety of music on it for only 99 cents per song.
I buy a lot of cds. I like having them in my hand rather than just on my phone. I have not attended and concerts this year but that is because I have just not had the money and neither has my mom. I have went to 10 concerts in the last 3 year though. I always usually go for one band concerts. Of course they have an opening act and usually another performer and then you have the main performer. I choose to attend concerts because it is a very memorable experience that I will always remember. I like to go so I can hear my favorite artists live and get close to them and really get a feel for their personality. Yes all the concerts i have been to were worth it because I had a lot of fun and at every concert something different happened and I create experiences I'll never forget. Concerts are amazing.
No I have never really attended a musical festival. I would like to but I have just never had the chance. I don't think I would like them that much though because I don't like all types of music and at festivals I just don't think they would have the music I like but it would still be fun to go and see what they did have.
The trend is that they see that concert sells are decreasing and people are paying more to see more bands rather than a single headliner show. It makes more sense but not if they have no one there that you actually like. I don't think it will really affect me because most of the artists I like still go on headlining tours but then again it might because I know sometimes I wanna go to concerts but I decide not to because it only has one person I like playing and the rest I don't know. So maybe it will affect me.
I usually just buy cds. I don't have an ipod so I don't need to buy songs and I just get songs for free off of apps on my phone.
The concert fans are getting smaller and smaller because of the economy and i haven't been to a concert in years because i have not really had time but i would really like to get to one here really soon. Usually concerts sellout and they don't sell anymore ticket because of people being crowded and people trying to enjoy themselves like Hanna says. “People there were very loose because they were there to enjoy themselves.”
Honestly, I get free music off the internet. I don't like buying CD's because I will probably only like one song on the CD. Why would I spend twenty dollars on one song when I can make a mix CD for free with songs I like on it. I haven't attended any concerts this year, but I'm totally going to Warped Tour and XFest, I love listening to the radio because it's like a random shuffle on a ipod, but I have no selections. I don't know why, but I love it. I have never attended a music festival. I have never even heard of them... It won't really effect me all that much as long as I have my radio(:
i have never been to a concerts this year because i don't have time to go to one and i really want to go to one and i have never buy a song of the singer and i would like to go to a concert and this will be my Frist time going to one and i would like to bring my family to one

Some teen entrepreneurs are borrowing strategies from the pros. Josh Bostick started Josh’s Car Wash Service at age 14, driving around his Flower Mound, Texas, neighborhood in a golf cart toting $20 in sponges and soap he bought at Wal-Mart.
i love how he started his own car wash service most teens do not like wash car these days and it is good he just not sitting around doing nunthing like some kids these day now people don`t have to sit in the car why they get there car wash just love he want better in life then most kids and he make a good head of money don`t have to go ask his mom and dad for money no more.....
I really dont attend concerts i really dont have the time to but i would like to go to one hopefully.But also they are expensive and sellout super fast but yeah sometime in my life i will attend one... The way listen to music is ipod,cds,radio so i if i got at least one of those there is no need for concerts really.
Even though I have never heard of these events, I can relate to this article. Last September I attended X-Fest with my cousin. Even though I don't listen to "heavy rock music" I went anyways. I knew one song but one of the bands, and I thought I wouldn't enjoy it. But when I got there it was amazing. People were jumping around and having fun even if they didn't know the band. I crowd surfed for the first time and many times after. It was so much fun and I understand why these people go to concerts even if they do not know the bands. It is just a positive atmosphere where you can have fun and be yourself.
i have been to concerts in the past but not lately cause i just have to much stuff to do but i usually put song off a cd on to my lap top and i put them on my ipod or i just go on youtube to here the songs i want to here if they not on my lap top of something but concerts just have not had the time..
I agree that festivals are taking over it makes more sense, it lets bands get together, lets people get what they pay for with a hundred bands for 300$. It just makes sense, although underground bands that you can meet and touch during the concert is as unforgettable as a weekend listening to 30 bands you've never met.
i dont usually but CD,s because i usually have music downloaded to my ipod. i also have a mp3 in my phone so i jus get music bluetooth to me phone
I have not attended any concerts , for one because i have more important things to spend my hard earned money on than something i can watch on tv. Then, I do listen to the radio & i download music. One Day i'll attend a concert when im more wealthy
i attended Wiz Khalifa concert it was in cincinnati and it was only 68 dollars i paid for it because im Taylor'd and i live the star life... I dont pay for music downloads i get them off DatPiff it has lots of nice choices it stays updated. (BTW) its legal.
i have never been to a concert i have been to a minature gospel fesival before . it didnt cost though i just couldnt get th tickets when it came to getting tickets for a concert and i was just to young so my mama aint let me . but i have no other reasons of y i have not went :(.
I never go to concerts because i never have the time to go but from what i read the tickets dropped 12%
i have attended quite a few concerts before, but no one i really like because i usually go with my mom but i have not paid for them. but i usually listen to radio or ipod. one day i hope to go to a concert i will enjoy.
I was unable to find a job this summer. The reason this happened because I was stalling and hesitating, but I was also looking for one, because the majority of hiring businesses acquire for you to apply online. I feel that the economy hasn't impacted by desire to find a job, because I've had family that helped me with a couple of items that I've needed for the summer.
Concerts are always high. But i always find a way to listen to music. Whether it's using Limewire, or on youtube. I occasionally go to concerts, very rare. Now lets get serious. According to Pollstar, ticket sales dropped 12% from last year, and gross revenue of the top 100 tours nationally fell almost 13%.
i haven't been to a concert. i just don't like big crowds.i do listen to radio and i use itunes.i haven't been to one.
I have attended a concert this year. It was a Lil Wayne concert, I enjoyed myself while I was there. It wasn't a band concert, the concert had Rick Ross, Keri Hilson, and other rappers from Young Money/Cash Money, Birdman was there also. The reason I went is because Lil Wayne is my favorite artist, and my uncle paid for my ticket, the price was $94, thats alot of money for a concert ticket. I download my songs from an online source, such as datpiff.com. I didn't attend any music festivals during the summer.

i actually go to alot of concerts. The last one i went to was in Dayton and it was some bands from around there. I think it's amazing how fans are. They'll come out weather it is 10 degrees out or 100 degrees out. i have been in bands and played shows so i know it means alot to the band and the venue when fans come out.
Well , I've never been to a concert before but i would love to go to one one cause i heard its a lot of fun & i get songs on my ipod instead of buying CD's cause it makes life so much easier
"Tickets are selling out faster and faster each year."
This is because people around our age group like to see Rappers, Country, Rock, Hip Hop, and R&B concerts.
I have been to quite a few concerts before. Many people go to concerts and they don't know the songs but after they listen to a few, they start to like it. I have been to I think two concerts where I didn't know the music that well but at the end I still had a lot of fun.
The eEmpire Polo Club has became the Woodstock of the entertainment generation.
Music is a good way to let loose and be yourself for an hour or two. Music has became a big part of peoples lives. There are places all over the world where you can go two for a concert. And concerts take place more often than the used to. The more concerts, the more fans. So, the music career is BOOMING. And that makes teens like me happy(: All the festivals and concerts gives us access to more music easier.
i haven't been to any concerts, simply because i have no time. i have a ipod that i just put songs on that i like, i dont like cd's because i will only like one song off of it.
Its not surprising to me that ticket sales are dropping. Concert tickets are really a pure waste of money. yeah you get to see a band live, but thats all your paying for, is to get to walk in, watch them play a couple songs and leave. When you buy a 70 dollar concert ticket. The only thing you can do with that is get in to see them. You do not get food or anything to drink or there cd or nothing. The only way i go to a concert is if someone takes me. I think theres the biggest waste of money paying someone 70 dollars to come watch them. Really? Why should i have to pay to use my eyeballs watch someone play an instrument. Its just not right to me.
never been to a concert but some are cheap some are expensive
I have never been to a concert before.. but i heard about them i want to go.but i get my songs off the computer or i wait till the album drops in stores.. they also cost alot but i will get to go one day.. tickets have dropped 12% from the last year..
I have never been to a concert this year or ever because I don't have the time and my parents won't let me go to a place lik that with just my friends and they don't want to go. I do listen to the radio alot for music mostly in the car. but alot of the time when I'm at home with nothing to do or trying to sleep I will listen to my ipod. I have a desent amount of CD's I don't listen to too often anymore. I have attened a music fesival. the Broad street bash down town here in Middletown.
This has become the Woodstock of the Internet generation as concertgoers flock to the empty desert field in much same way they congregated @ that New York dairy farm in 1969-1970 13 % from the 1966 all new york love woodstock of the interenet ...... what much do i like pop and rock
I have never been to any concerts at all. And to be honest I really don't care. I usually listen to music on my phone, i pod, or youtube. I have been to music festivals in Lebanon and I have enjoyed them but it was not so great that i would spend 50 bucks for a ticket.
i have been to a few concerts over the past few years. i don't buy cd's anymore because its a lot easier to download the songs to my phone and ipod. every time i go to a concert i usually buy a tee shirt or hat to help support the bands because i don't go to big time band shows, i think it sucks that ticket sales have gone down in the past year because that's less money for the artists who put a lot of time and effort into entertaining us with their music.
i have attended two concerts this year and they were both Sir Elton John. I chose those concerts because Elton is worth every penny. Also, i listen to CD's, cassettes, vinyls, and sometimes the radio. I see this impacting me because concerts are getting more and more expensive, and i love concerts.
i've never been to a concert, but i hope to soon. i usually get my music off datpiff, for free. who pay's for music anymore ?
i just went to the store yesterday and bought 2 new albums. i lke music but i hate concerts. i just like to chill kick back and listen to music. id rather have the whole album in my hand rather then having pieces of 20 different albums on my ipod or phone. I'm not to technical i'd do jus fine with a cd player some head phones and all my cds. i cant sit thru a whole concert its just not my scene but i could sit in a cafe or dinner hall all day and listen to a band play or poet while hain dinner or drinking on a latte.
im a music fan and i dont belive in stealing music of internet. just like me and you artist have a job and thats making good music and its not fair for them for us to be able to just steal and not pay nothing for. due to stealing music off internet the sales have drop big time. according to pollstar "ticket sales have dropped 12% from last year."
Being in the music industry is vary complex, i've been invited to a lot of concerts. As a Rapper there is more then it looks some of witch can not be spoke about, but i can say it takes a lot of work and thinking power, i love recording then hearing the peoples comments about my music, All my music goes on the computer or i pod, and i like All music not just one certain kind all music gives a message
I have not been to a concert this year because i have not had very much time. I have been to many concerts though and i tend to enjoy my time at them. The article states "People don't have alot of money, the econmy is struggling." Which has prevented me from seeing as many concerts as i used to as well.
i havent been to any concerts or music festivals this year. i have been to them though and they're lots of fun(= but i listen to music on my phone and youtube. but the trend that i like is that the concerts are events and experiences because i truly believe they are.
i have only been to one concert before and i thought it was worth the price. i want to go to another concert soon but i don't have a lot of free time. I get my music free off the internet because its a lot easier. It sucks for bands that their ticket sales are going down because thats less money they're making for their career. If the economy ever gets better i think ticket sales will go back up.
Sadly, I haven't been to any concert this year. First, they cost too much, & second, they're either far away & no one could take me, or just didn't have anyone to go with. I usually just listen to songs off of Youtube; that, or I just download songs off of iTunes or sometimes download songs for free.Never been to any music festival either.
Ive not been to a consert since I was 13, mainly because I dont want to spend money on them. I listen to my ipod an get songs off of itunes
i think we should start to buy are fav. band cds because they need to make money somehow they get up on that stage and give us a great show the least we can do is buy their cds. they could also lower their tic. costs so more people can go to their shows
i havent been to any concerts this year mostly because i dont have the time to go to one and i would like to take my family and friends to one and i would buy a cd off of them and i would love to go to a concerts this year.
i havent been to any because its not my thing i get them online like most people if i wanted to go to to a concert i max out my tv and invite friends over its the same thing
I have not been able to go to a concert this year, because of no time. I think that most people have not been going to concerts because of how bad the economy is and how much it costs to see a concert. Anyway I just buy the song off Itunes
i have been to one concert this year, i wen to the lil wayne concert not to long ago. concerts are always fun to go to, u get to meet alot of new people and get to experiance something great.
i have never been to a concert but i think people really aint go to the concerts because the prices an because even go to a concert when u can just download all the music you want for free an save your self money
i haven't been to any concerts this year only because it cost to much. I have been to at least one though. I normally get my music from the internet, or just listen to pandora. I've never been to a music festival before, it seems to be fun . The trend is that they see that concert sells are decreasing and people are paying more to see more bands than a single one. If they have a more better selection of artists at concerts instead of just one it might would affect me but now, not at all.
I have not been to a concert yet this year butt today is my brothers birthday and we plan to go to one for his and my birthday knowing we are 4 months away we are doing a brother sister event. We dont know who we want to go see yet though but he is going to choose.
i have never been to a concert in my entire life i would love to go to a concert but finding the fundage isnt that easy.i dont think i would be going to a concert no matter how bad i wanted to if the temperatures were as rediculouse as triple-digit.
Most of my purchases from the music industry is guitars and amps. I will occasionally purchase a CD, but most my music is downloaded through things like iTunes. Unfortunately I have not attended a concert yet this year. The reason I didn't attend the ONE concert I wanted to this year was because no one would drive me to Cleveland. I don't listen to the radio anymore for music, I will buy albums online and buy CD's. I have bought a few Vinyl's. Lately, some of the music I am hearing for the first time have been graciously passed along by friends with awesome tastes in music. I have attended a festival. Attending a single concert guarantees you a good band (if you are the one who picked the concert), but going to a festival is like a gathering almost. To see multiple good musical acts and meet new people and gather up with old ones. The trend the article is talking about is basically a slow decay of the single concert scene. This will only effect where I will play. I personally would want to play festivals rather than a single concert.
ive been to 3 concerts this year so far. i went to a free machine gun kelly concert in the natty, and a free t pain concert there to. and then i went to the lil wayne an rick ross concert at bogarts, it was like 40 dollars i think, it was fer sure worth it tho. it was POPPIN.
I never been to a concert before but i hope to go to one someday, but because of these expensive prices it might take a while before i am able to
1 I have not went to a concert this year or ever.
2. I haven't been to one because my mom won't let me.
3. I listen to the radio and youtube. I usually download my music fro iTunes.
4. I haven't. The article talks about ticket sales dropping. This might mean I can't see a concert when I'm older.
In July I went to the Rockstar Mayhem Fest, I saw Megadeth, In Flames, Disturbed, Trivium, Godsmack, Motorhead and All Shall Perish, it was $30 for a Lawn Ticket and it was so worth it. I've been to a lot of Music Festivals, I go just about every Summer. I have an iPod Touch with about 700 songs. I typically don't buy my music, I just download it from a website.
nope, i havent been to any concerts, but i would love to go. i have not been to any cause my mother never lets me go. i listen to the radio mostly, or i listen to cds. I sometimes buy songs off of Itunes, but not all the time. & I've been to one music festival in my life, i was about 12, so i thought it was so cool. I've never been to a concert, so i couldn't tell you which one i prefer, or which one i like the best.
I haven't been to any concerts this year because i haven't had the time. I get songs off of i-tunes and bulbster to put them on my phone or ipod. The prices of tickets for concerts are starting to get outrages.
i have been to a concert last year with my mom & her friend. we didnt pay for it because she had two extra tickets & wanted to take us. it was pretty fun & really packed. the concert ended up getting sold out. im lookin up to goin to more concerts. you can find some concerts for like 50-60 dollars but then again you can find some for like 80-90. concerts are fun but i doubt id spend so much on a concert when i can just download the songs on my phone...
I haven't attended a concert this year mainly because i just don't have the time and never really want to go. I listen to music on 101.1 the Wiz, pandora, or go on youtube. One of these days i might attend a concert if the costs drop.
i havent attended any concerts in the last few years and attending to one is not in my future plans mostly because i dont like them but also because i dont think that you have to spend a lot of money just to hear music. i do listen to the radio sometimes or also youtube but im mostly on my ipod. i think people need stop wasting their money on concerts and start saving it for future plans =D
the only concert i went to this summer was the spiritfest. i work at kingsisland so i couldnt help but watch it since the store i work at is right next to there. i buy songs off itunes usually. not many people go to concerts anymore so concert prices have dropped alot.
Ive Been To About 10 Concerts this year and most of them were outside and it was pretty hot, but it just goes to show how loyal music fans are to go and see there favorite musicians and to support the scene, and when i go to shows i buy CDs from there, or off itunes.
i havent been to no concerts this year because of the money cost & i never have money, but when i wanna listen to music i listen to it on the radio which i usually listen to country, but i listen to everything, or i use to pandora.
i haven't ever been in a concert before but it be cool if i did. In the article it said its in the triple-digit temperatures i would not go if it was that hot.
I can't even tell you how many concerts i've been to. I've always been kind of a concert goer. Every time i go to concerts i buy merchandise from the bands to support them.
No, I didn't attend any concerts this year because they were too expensive and not a lot of artists I like were close to town. Majority of them were up in Cleveland and then I would have had the expense of a hotel and extra gas money. But tomorrow (Saturday) I'm seeing Katy Perry in Louisville, KY for $58. I was shocked at how cheap it is. I'm so excited. When I listen to music, I listen to songs on Youtube, Pandora and Vevo (for music videos) I use all of these applications because they are on my phone and they always have the latest music.
well i love music tomorrow saturday im going to a concert to see one of my favorite artist me and my friends like to share cd like if i got one that he never herd or if he got one that i havent herd we switch cd to hear it i like buying music from the internet and also downloading music on my phone music is like my life with out music I am nothing music makes me do stuff like at school if i have work to do i plug in my head phones and listen to music
ive been to a lot of concerts and i've been back stage and everything i buy there cds and shirts to help them out. sometimes go to concerts just to help them set up and sell there stuff and to help take it all down and its amazing.
I have not been to a concert this year because i have been busy and I haven't had the time to go to one. and i don't like concerts because they are to crowded. But thats not stopping 75,000 people per day. and tickets prices have dropped 12% in the last year .
i have not been to any concerts this year,
that is because either i don't have time or the money is tight at the moment.
or because the places the concerts i'd like to attend are for 18-21 years old , because there held at bars and stuff.
& i use Pandora all the time..
i naver ban one but it look like it will be a lot of fun if you do all the stuff that thay get to do on the dayly
since i have gotten older i havent really been interested in going to concerts i would like to with people i like but it's just so sexpensive now. i choose to get my music off the internet. but since we are possible going into a recession i think that the pricess for things should go down how do you expect sales to go up when the money is physicly not there. overall im not surpsrised by the drop 300 mill declin overall.

ive never been to a concer before. i usually download my songs off of youtube. according to ticket star ticket prices dropped 12%
I went to a show in Covington OH/KY, it was the Cruel Hand tour, they played with The Maker, A Loss For Words, The Greenery and The Initiative. I bought merch from a lot of the band. I go to shows every week or more.
No , i haven't been to a concert , not because of the cost , but because i haven't really seen a point to go to one . when i listen to the radio i get mad cause they beep out the curse words . honestly i think they need a radio station that only plays uncensored music .
The first concert I attended was the Taylor Swift Fearless tour in 2010... It really was worth the cost except the seats kinda sucked?... But She put on a great show that my Dad even enjoyed going(:
i havent been to a concert ever, but if i could go i would
& according to pollstar , ticker sales dropped 12% from last year and gross revenue of the top 100 tours nationally fell almost 13%. That almost 4.8 million fewer and a $300 million decline overall.
Have been to many concerts this year. I've seen Poison, Motley Crue, Def Leppard and Kid Rock this summer and it was deffinatley worth the cost. I do listen to the radio and I buy all my music on itunes unless i really want the cd.
i have never been to a concerts before and i would like to go to one this year with my family and friends
i have been to a concert this year and it was really good and very hot out bit i went anyways i was a jay-z concert there was like 7,000 people there just to see him.
i have been to concerts this year , and i love going to them , i usually go to a concert then go home and buy every song by that artist. according to recent studies ticket sales dropped 12% from last year and gross revenue of the top 100 tours nationally fell almost 13%. That almost 4.8 million fewer and a $300 million decline overall.
