JT's recent Aussie tour for example had the el cheapo seats (riiiiight at the back) going for around AUD150.<br/><br/>I srsly doubt ppl here would pay that kinda monies to go concerting. (trip to the wharf anyone?)<br/><br/>Altho I reckon some artists like Blue Lagoon may have a chance (slim is better than none) at profiting thanks to our bus drivers killing their songs day n night. haiz, it’s just not profitable.

Anyhow, the primary reason why “they won’t come” is simple… we cannot afford them.

A concert promoter in Fiji bringing in a huge act here would be looking at a loss at the end of the day or be lucky to break even.

I won’t use “U2″ or “The Eagles” as examples, since they’re mega huge and costly. But lets use someone like hmmm… “Akon”. Tickets for his show would probably be $50 plus. I’m sure that there are probably a few hundred that would part with their precious cash to view his act, but what about the thousands out there?

So unless I were a filthy rich promoter, with millions to spare and love for this nation.. I wouldn’t risk bringing a popular music act here.
