all that’s gold does not shine
Apparently no one asked rocknyc their opinion but the infamous Terminal Ughk or is it Terminal 5 was voted #3 of the US 100 top venues.
There are no facility charges, restoration fees and apparently their “Live Nation Entertainment ” are a fraction of competitors. According to Bowery Presents partners partners Jim Glancy and John Moore ” it comes time for us to stack our offer up against others, dollar-for-dollar bands are making more with us on a cheaper ticket price. … A $20 to $22 ticket can be bought for $25 rather than $40. And guess what? If you’re trying to develop young talent, that’s the only way to do it, in my opinion.”
The partners at Bowery say that a lot of the reason why Terminal 5 is successful has to do with treating the patrons well, and noted there are concessions and bathrooms on all of the three floors, plus a massive smoking area on the roof. But that wasn’t what they stressed. Bowery put in a Clair sound system, lights from BML Stage Lighting, made sure the sightlines were great and opened the door.
Are there two Terminal 5s in NY cuz this sure as hell doesn’t sound like the one we’ve heard of. “The production people aren’t walking away saying, ‘I don’t care how much the band made, that place sucked,’” Glancy said.
But Iman is.
