BATTING AROUND SOME FIGURES....8 Jul 2020 12:33
https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/8299770/wireless-festival-2019-lineup-tickets-weather/
£65 +£8 BOOKING FEE - DAY PASSES
£175 + £15 BOOKING FEE - WEEKEND PASS
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/newsbeat-45964105#:~:text=It%20wanted%20a%20limit%20on,current%20maximum%20capacity%20is%2049%2C999.
ATTENDEES - 37,000
So we will do some sums here based on the above figures and basing it on a 70:30 split.
DAY PASS 70% (£73) * 25900( ATTENDEES) - £1,890,700
WEEKEND PASS 30 % (£190) * 11,100(ATTENDEES) - £2,109,000
£3,999,700
So what would be their costs? How much would the lighting, stage, security, sniffer dogs, toilets, clean up cost?
Compare that to this weekends wireless...
132,000 people tuned in

132,000 people which is more than 3.5x the previous attendance.
What would have been the production costs? How many hundreds of people LESS would have had to have been paid?
I'm quite frankly buzzing on the edge of my seat.
Live Nation's event -
More publicised
Mix of Genres (not very narrow as was Wireless)
Would it be outrageous to say the testing ground has happened, the next one will be 10x as big.
The costs to the vr concert goer however will be a 1/5 of the costs.
Heres what I believe to be very conservative figures...... (I think its been overlooked its at an O2 venue and O2 will be pushing it out like there's no tomorrow).
132000* 10 = 1,320,000m people tune in.
They pay either for a day pass or a weekend pass
£19.99 or £49.99 (PEOPLE WONT PAY THAT? I PAY £27 A TIME FOR BOXING FOR 12 ROUNDS!)
70:30 SPLIT
£38,266,800
Now the pessimists or the ultra conservative of you may say my figures are 5x more than they would actually be - ID BE HAPPY WITH THAT!
Do your own research I've only done some sums based on published definitive numbers, do your own sums depending on how conservative or excited you are!
I'm not selling till we get to above 50p!
I've said it before and I'll say it again, Apple WILL buy this out in my opinion. They did it with Beats, they'll do it with this! Little known fact is that Apple bought beats not just because of their headphones but because of their app and (relatively small) userbase of that app being a huge contributor too.
3 billion I think it went for.......
