What if you held a concert to raise funds for anti-war groups? Get some really big names like Moby and Michael Stipe, call it the “Bring ’Em Home Now” Concert. Get Susan Sarandon and Cindy Sheehan to make appearances.

Well, they actually sold 3,000 tickets. I rather doubt that was enough to cover the costs.
UPDATE and Bump: Karol at Alarmingnews was there.
We bought tickets like 3 days before the event. That’s never a good sign for a show.
No, it’s usually a sign that the show is a disaster. Just publicity for a show like that will eat up mor than the price of 3000 tickets. Then there’s the hall, the stage crew, etc., etc.
I promoted a (much, much, much) smaller show once and took a bath on it.
