LukeHOST
So let's explain that as we go.
LukeHOST
But if you have a think about it, what do all of these things have in common? Vaping, Electric Avenue, frozen yogurt with toppings on it, buy now, pay later, retro clothing, uh, finding old clothing and, and paying, you know, a lot of money for it.
LukeHOST
The, the Warriors, uh, I believe that Bledisloe has sold very well as well at Eden Park.
LukeHOST
So what, what do they all have in common? And the answer, I think, is that none of them seem to have much trouble finding customers.
LukeHOST
We're like, "No, but well, it was here to stop people smoking." Okay, but now we've got a whole new wave of people doing it, especially, you know, younger people by the seems as well that we're being told they don't, they don't have ...
LukeHOST
You know, they've got high levels of unemployment, for instance.
LukeHOST
Like how are they taking that up? And Electric Avenue, uh, 40,000 people in a queue online to get tickets to that.
LukeHOST
I went onto that website.
ClintHOST
I haven't been on one...
ClintHOST
I, you know, actually, no, the last time I think I was on one was probably Electric Avenue in Christchurch when we ended up hosting-
Meg MansellHOST
Oh, yeah
ClintHOST
... like, it was more of a party bus, just picking people up for free-
DanHOST
Mm
ClintHOST
... and taking them to Electric Avenue, just cranking tunes.
DanHOST
Yeah.
Meg MansellHOST
Oh, we go, me and Daisy go on the bus a bit.
Wilhelmina O'KeefePANELIST
Hey,
Francesca RudkinHOST
I don't know if you saw, last week we were talking about Electric Avenue and I was talking about the lack of moral compass and sculptors and how they're just scammers the way they then insist a $500 ticket that you should pay $2,000 for it.
Francesca RudkinHOST
Today, though, it has come out that a gentleman who got organised really early on, he got an Airbnb sorted for the weekend of Electric Avenue in Christchurch for $1,000, about $1,022.
Francesca RudkinHOST
It was then cancelled on him.
Francesca RudkinHOST
They said, really sorry, we've got a pricing issue.

Francesca RudkinHOST
Look, we're sort of sticking a little bit with travel today.
Francesca RudkinHOST
There was a story last week I got very upset about the scalpers who bought a ticket for $500 to Electric Avenue and were trying to sell it for $2,000.
Francesca RudkinHOST
I just think these people have no moral compass.
Francesca RudkinHOST
I just think...
Francesca RudkinHOST
Everyone should have the opportunity to buy a ticket to go to a concert.
Francesca RudkinHOST
Don't buy them purely to rip other people off.
Francesca RudkinHOST
Anyway, this morning a story comes out about a gentleman who got really organised, a bit like me, managed to get a pre-sale ticket in April for Electric Avenue, organised the accommodation, organised flights and everything.
Francesca RudkinHOST
And what do you know, the gig sells out, his $1,032 accommodation, suddenly he gets an email going, we're really sorry, but we're going to have to cancel your booking.

BecHOST
So having you here for the full, like getting a full show, I feel like the festival lineups have been a teaser to what a full show gives an audience.
Luke SteeleGUEST
That's the thing.
Luke SteeleGUEST
