That’s bullshit. Live Nation is the scum sucking fee blowing entity that makes a $20.00 ticket $50.00 with the click of a mouse. If you don’t have the right credit card, password, blood type screw you you’re at Stub Hub.
But its shows..well they’re going to be more tasty Concessions at sports stadiums have recently discovered that not all fans are beer and brat eaters. The smell alone has prevented me from visiting Fenway as much as I would like. Piss and smoke- no thanks. But Live Nation wants your snack money now so they have take a stance using ‘locally grown produce and humanly raised meat’ There is nothing humane about meat by the way. Its Mr Green Jeans happy farm its a filthy disgusting business so right there you know theyre full of it.
Live Nation announced Wednesday that starting this week all produce served at its 38 amphitheaters around the country will be sourced from within about a 100-mile radius of each venue. Additionally, all meats – some 285,000 burgers, 260,000 hot dogs and 280,000 chicken tender meals per year – will carry either Certified Humane, Global Animal Partnership or Animal Welfare Approved certification.
The change will cost the company about an extra $1 million a year, but concertgoers won’t see that reflected in food or ticket prices, says Live Nation CEO Michael Rapino. He believes the good will generated by serving better food and supporting local farms will be compensation enough. “That’s good for business in the long run, and good for the environment and the animals in the short run,” he says.
The overhaul was triggered when Live Nation officials decided to offer a vegetarian option at their amphitheaters. “As we dug into it, what came second to us was that what’s important isn’t just what’s on the menu, but the supply chain behind it,” Rapino says. “And if it’s going to be local and we’re going to look at the supply chain, let’s make sure we’re doing the right thing and make sure the animals are treated well before they get to market.”
Stay tuned for the ‘fertilizer fee’ soon to be added to face value of tickets.
