New Everton Stadium

[blulouie]

According to reports, they made between £5m and £10m just on the 3 nights for Taylor Swift. Plus the 2 nights for Pink probably at a couple of million. This isn’t chump change, it’s money that our club needs.

There’s also not that many artists big enough that they could attract to fill the ground more than a few times a year. If they could, they would because there’s definitely money to be made.

Big Bucks to be made for sure.

And there's plenty of acts that would sell out the stadium. Huge opportunity missed if we don't.

Anyone got any idea what the capacity of both stadiums is when set up for concerts.
There's likely more money made from hosting at anfield just from a capacity POV
but I'd imagine promoters would much rather deal with BMD which would be plug and play so to speak.

Anfield also doesn’t have the advantage of the fan plaza, the setting or the state-of-the-art facilities throughout.

Not to mention it looks like a battered hole punch, compared to the 4th Grace.

Fantastic stuff, and hopefully more people that love them can go see them - but it's not the same pull as any of the currently globally famous (even Oasis included, even though I personally hate them).

You want a big name for a big concert to fill a big stadium, as that will generate all the hype and everything to go with it, and I'm sorry but both Springsteen and Billy Joel are no longer that. They'll have demand for sure, legendary musicians in the own right, but they're 75 years old and it's just not the same, and I doubt they'd be filling 50k there which is what we should be going for.

Your not getting much bigger artists than Springsteen tbh, not a massive fan myself but he's up there in the highest tier when it comes to touring musicians.

He'd headline any festival he's booked for and would have no trouble selling out Wembley multiple nights. Billy Joel isn't as big a draw but is still a big act, Anfield has done well getting his only tour date in England.

These are the exact acts we'd be hoping to attract once Bramley Moore is established as a events venue.

It's an absolute disgrace that ground now.

Pushed the surgery too far. It looks like Laura Loomer or late-stage Jacko.

I'm not so sure on the Anfield capacity argument. At BMD, the loss in capacity will be the North Stand only, which is a smaller percentage of the whole capacity than either of the Anfield goal ends. That's without 'running the numbers' though.

It still doesn't generate as much attention for the area itself, also both artists I mentioned get even larger attendances and arenas filled.

Not arguing hes not a legend or anything daft, he's just way past it and not as relevant anymore, thus less attention. In reality we'll need both types of artists /gigs/shows obviously, but I'd argue it's more important to show you can host the biggest/most relevant so it makes the news, first.

I still want us to play an actual football match there though

I think it's the promoters that set the prices , but we as a club and the location should be outstripping what Anfield has to offer.

The location is Gold.

You obviously have no idea what you're saying so will give you a walkover cos I love you.
Check the figures mate, you'll be surprised at who's pulling in what.
Springsteen and Joel are still at the top of their game when it comes to making money.

Sheeran's averaging almost 80k a venue mate, as sad as it is.
Springsteen is 60-70k, which is obviously still A LOT.

They are at the top of their game for sure and I'm not saying they're not ffs, but I'm talking about current year relevance, not how good they are. In 2024 a Springsteen concert is unlikely to be as marketed/marketable as a Sheeran/Swift one, which is a bit sad, but it is how it is.

Think of it this way - to know Springsteen's concerts, you gotta know and follow him a bit more, which is fine. I don't give a toss about Sheeran and Swift, yet they (and their concerts) get talked about on every social media outlet there is, you feel me? I've seen more Taylor Swift concert pictures on TV/news outlets than I'd want to for a lifetime, just this year, annoyingly.

We need both to prove it to be as marketable as possible obviously, and would do well to do that. However, Springsteen/Joel aren't even a missed opportunity as such as I'm willing to bet we can't even go into contact to secure them (or anyone else) at BMD currently as it's more or less impossible to guarantee anything right now. Which was my point to begin with really, but all of ye old farts* popped up to tell me how amazing grandad Bruce is FFS

(* jk, love you all x)

I, too, read the matchday programme on Saturday

I was thinking about it the other day and it's stated they had 62k for a Taylor Swift gig. The stage was in front of the new AR stand so it must mean they had 16 and a bit thousand on the pitch.

If we applied the same (especially given our bigger pitch size) then we could get a 60k capacity.
