Jay-Z back no longer living a hard-knocked life

Posted by admin on September 19th, 2008 filed in concert tickets, Concerts

Jay-Z will be back on tour this fall with Lil’ Wayne joining on certain dates. After his $150 million deal with Live Nation one would think his ticket prices would be lowered…but Jay-Z is a businessman and his concerts are all about supply and demand. Why would he charge less when people would pay more? For the fans? Phfff…he doesnt need them anymore. As the first hip-hop artist to sign with Live Nation, Jay-Z receives his own entertainment ventures and recording and tours for the next decade. Live Nation is slowly competing and taking over in the music world competing with record labels over rights to distribute an artist’ merchandise and more.  The Jay-Z/Live Nation deal is one of the biggest contracts in music history. See? With corporate mongol friends like Live Nation, why would Jay-Z need anyone else?
