How to avoid ticket scams during concert and holiday show season

Arts & Culture Partnerships: Beauty & MrBeast Last month was a unique moment in Sydney Opera House history. We don’t normally do product activations on the Forecourt, but this wasn’t an ordinary ask. MrBeast is the most viewed person on the Planet, Gen Z’s ‘Oprah Winfrey’, who also appeared on the Opera House Forecourt giving things away, but that was 10-years ago! MrBeasts swift rise has been spurred by massive changes in the media landscape where individuals have replaced institutions as the gatekeepers of entertainment and information. Credit: Time Magazine. MrBeasts event provided a unique opportunity to embody the Opera House mission of being ‘Everyone’s House,’ by attracting a Gen Z audience, hosting a free public event, and generating partnership revenue to continue fulfilling our strategy. Other brands typically pay between US$2.5 million to $3 million for a MrBeast shout-out, and running an ad before one of his videos is similarly costly (Time Magazine). Thus, not only did the Opera House benefit financially, but we also gained by association. While exposure is not the Opera Houses primary need, demonstrating that it is a place for 'Everyone' and raising funds so we can continue to do so, is a priority.

Dear Aspiring Producers, Filmmakers, Writers, Assistants, Execs, We’ve finally reached the premiere of WINNER, showing in 10 theaters and available digitally across the country. I couldn’t be more excited for everyone who has championed Reality, her family, and this film. While I may be addressing those who have long endured the film industry’s challenges, I want to share the part I know of the 'Cinderella' story behind this journey—because while it may seem like a miraculous transformation, it’s a mix of grit and favor. You see the reviews, the press, the social media buzz, but what you don’t see are the countless hours of hard work, the setbacks, and the persistence it took to get here. Yet, like Cinderella’s magical transformation, this process has also been touched by moments of fortune and fairy godmothers. So as you embark on your own creative paths, let me offer a glimpse behind the scenes—the grit, the magic, and the favor. So first, here's a timeline. This movie was brought to me by producer Amanda P Phillips in September of 2018. I was an Agent at the time at United Talent Agency, having been given a shot by caring former bosses who believed in my potential. Despite resistance in my department to get involved with a producer with an article optioned rather than a script, I took a risk and made it my baby. Over the next several years, we went through the complex process of packaging, financing, and production. It finally made its way to the Sundance Institute Film Festival in 2023, and now, in September 2024, it's being released. That’s six years since it was first introduced to me, or seven if you count the time since the article that inspired it was published. To put that in perspective, in that time, a child could be born, learn to walk, talk, read, and do math. In the world of Independent Film, this timeline is incredibly fast, especially with the pandemic thrown into the middle of it all. There’s no doubt that magic played a role in bringing this movie to life, and we were incredibly fortunate in many ways. However, there were key elements that kept that magic going, and I encourage you to consider these as you reflect on your own work. This movie happened because it was a compelling true story with a strong script, led by an experienced writer/director with recent Emmy recognition and momentum. It had highly skilled independent producers and was backed by high-net-worth individuals who believed in its intrinsic value despite risky financial prospects. It also had a lead actor fresh off starring in an Oscar-winning film during the year it was shot. But even with all that favor, the roadblocks were endless—competing projects, conflicting actor schedules, financiers pulling out—and that’s just the beginning. So as you visualize your dreams of "making it" in Entertainment, keep in mind that this journey was a true blend of grit, perseverance but importantly a considerable amount of fortune not many projects can have.

The audience for any content is what matters the most. And we’re watching not just a technology shift in the media landscape, we’re watching companies forgetting to keep the focus on the audience (customer). Thie upheaval in the entertainment industry has been driven by technical changes taking place in the context of larger societal trends. Watching the explosion of BlueSky this week shows that the algorithmic structure will matter to people. Streamers are seeing churn in part because their referral engines and user interfaces aren’t working for folks. You can’t find what you are looking for. You don’t easily see new seasons of shows you have already loved. Marketing still matters. UX still matters. And both start with understanding the audience. Once you have a family and kids, no one has time or attention space to do their own curation. You’ve got an hour before bed and you just want to be told a good story. But if a platform isn’t showing you what you want without making the choices simpler to make (see decision fatigue), you don’t see the value on the platform. People care about the show, not the platform. (Did you care if it was ABC or NBC if you are old enough to remember traditional broadcast and cable networks?) And the socials aren’t doing much better. Ok, IG and TikTok are doing better. Facebook lost it in the US, except for elderly boomers. If you’re under 55, you’re there because you have to be, have a group you need to participate in, or for Marketplace. BlueSky looks great but is long-term TBD and Twitter (no, I won’t use the other name) is the InfoWars replacement. As privacy takes a step forward because that thing called Project 2025, the high-value-to-advertisers (education, income) eyeballs will be harder to reliably get unless you understand the audience you are looking for. And getting that audience isn’t going to happen on algorithms alone. It’s going to take good, creative marketing. Eventually, simplicity will win. I just want to sit down and not have to work for my entertainment. We’re all working way too hard as it is. End rant. Let me know if this perspective works for you and applies. I usually don’t post this stuff here, but those of you who know me IRL know that I’ve been analyzing this business for decades but keep it to myself. I love Patrick Caligiuri’s thoughts and analysis. It always triggers my thinking. #socialmedia #Youtube #netflix #streamingmedia #algorithms #television #movies
