Last I‘ve heard it was bleeding money. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] LodeMike@lemmy.today 9 points 2 years ago Makes sense. Gimmicks are gimmicks. permalink fedilink source parent [–] ShepherdPie@midwest.social 5 points 2 years ago (3 children) Probably because they're not doing much with it. It's $100/person to see the basic "Planet Earth" showing and almost $200 to see The Grateful Dead show. Previously they showed a Phish show. That's it for options, and none of it sounds really appealing to me. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago (2 children) U2 played in it, too. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ShepherdPie@midwest.social 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) I'm sure these bands are all appealing to some, but it seems like they're really squandering the potential with them playing the same two shows over and over for months. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago U2 is the best band ever, Bono told me that. permalink fedilink source parent [–] blakemiller@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago This way some faulty internet lore. The money losses were from a fluke of timing the opening date of operations versus when quarterly finances were reported. Big startup costs meant the first numbers looked silly until they had enough events to get steady profits. They’re doing fine now. Internet should’ve known better too. It’s hard to lose in Vegas and the investors obviously knew what they were doing. The power costs are shocking for sure though. Yikes! permalink fedilink source parent
