Bumps Along With Way For Justin Timberlake & Christina Aguilera

HitsDailyDouble.com caught up with several music insiders who admit that there’s been troubles with ticket sales during the summer concert season. “We have an industry that has managed once again to ignore reality,” says veteran concert promoter and Co-CEO of Metropolitan Talent John Scher. “The economy is in bad shape, there’s fear of congregation, ticket prices and service charges are out of control. It’s no wonder that this summer will at best be mediocre.” Artist manager Irving Azoff commented, “Justin and Christina are doing well in most cities but have had some problems in places like Denver, Little Rock and San Antonio… Most of the newer acts haven’t had a chance to develop a following. The business these days, with its desire to turn a profit as quickly as possible, doesn’t allow for the development of a fan base.”
