We were chatting to a marketing dude today, and he mentioned in passing that he’d been offered the possibility of sponsoring a big Beyonce show in Beijing in October. Apparently the numbers being bandied about were sorta frightening, but that’s to be expected at this point.
This ties in with some other information we received recently that AEG were bringing her to re-open the Wukesong Arena, which (apart from Avril last October) has been closed since the Olympics last year. We thought that we’d seen the back of big stars being offered silly money to play China with the demise of the old Emma, but this doesn’t seem to be the case. Why are AEG falling so squarely into the hole recently vacated by Emma, Ticketmaster, China West and the rest?
