Another inconvenient box office ;
Continued weak demand for the singing saviors of climate change
With the worldwide "Live Earth" concert on July 7, Hamburg wants to protect the climate and take its place next to other metropolitan venues such as London, Tokyo and Sydney. But only half of the tickets have been sold. Hamburg tourist officials are giving away the tickets in promotional packages.
Perhaps they can recycle the empty seats as carbon credits. As it stands, the City of Hamburg looks to be on the hook, with the concert unlikely to break even.
(Someone might put them in touch with the Saskatchewan government - world leaders in flogging Al Gore tickets).
More;
Kevin Wall, Al Gore's new-found partner producer of Live Earth previously founded Network Live to make money, not save the poor. It did neither.It failed as a business and as an effort to fight poverty. Next he saw Al Gore's film and, lo and behold, Control Room was born. It's partners? MSN, DirectTV, Qualcom, etc.... It don't mean a thing, if it don't bring the green - and I don't mean as regards the environment. Same opportunist, different snake oil. zzzzzzzzzzz
The concerts are in trouble in Turkey and South Africa as well.
The Johannesburg leg of the Live Earth concerts has shifted venues due to lack of ticket sales at original venue.The show will now take place at the 18,000 capacity Coca Cola Dome in the city as opposed to the original venue in Maropeng.

The Istanbul leg of the event was cancelled last week, due to lack of sponsorship interest.
If you’re gonna get screwed with intellectually they should comp some Reeperbhan nightclub tickets; may as well get the real thing too.
Think I might be able to latch on to some Kraftwerk tickets while I'm in town?
Now that would be worth seeing,Greek!!!!
Think I might be able to latch on to some Kraftwerk tickets while I'm in town?
I wasn't even aware Kraftwerk toured...
Maybe they can convince the Goracle to give them some carbon credits for the tickets??
Another big enviromental rip off concert just like those rediclous SAVE THE RAINFORESTS concerts and as silly as the KEVIN KOSNER movie WATERWORLD where we got to see him swimming around like a complete dork AND HOW MUCH CO2 will they use how many kilowatt hours of electricty will they be using? i hope they lose a bundle on their big rip off
I was just quickly looking at temperatures on the weather network this past weekend and NOTHING sticks out as abnormaly hot ANYWHERE around the globe...Actually Canada is kind of on the below average side for this time of year and Europe seems the same in many locales.
Where is Global warming these days? Hiding in space?
Seriously, should'nt global warming be constant?
Maybe Wills and Harry could take their Diana spectacle, along with fat Elton John, to Hamburg. Just a thought.
I reckon Gore should've asked Milli Vanilli to headline. Certainly supports the most fraudulent scheme in history.
Have to keep up the pressure on exposing the eco-fanatic religion fraud, however,
now it looks like the Gore Suzuki crowd is being rewarded with the mother-of-all put-downs ----- a big YAWN :)
I think it has been well established that only society's truly feeble minded get wrapped up in this Gore-Hollywierd-rock star climate change cultism.
I'm somewhat relieved to see the shows not selling out....gives me hope there is still some critical thinking capacity left in a thoroughly media conditioned pavlovian generation.
Cancel that Turkey leg!
I laughed when I saw the tv advertisement slogan...climate in crisis. What a croc!
the media has hyped it to the point where joe average great unwashed doesnt even notice it anymore. they have continued their fright tactics ad nausem even saying global warming was going to trigger changes in plate techtonics. like a twitch on a horse , the public can only stay interested for so long. the greenies will be hard pressed to raid everyones wallet , I see Dr. Bono Suzuki has gone into catatonic silence.
I wonder if renowned fake band Spinal Tap (they're actually very good and funny) will still show up for the event.
cal2: I would be joe average and they're not fooling me.
Just as bad as the stupid ad put on by ENVIROMENTAL DEFENSE with some kids going TICK TICK TICK and blabbering about this GLOBAL WARMING fruad i mean those eco-freaks have no shame now their using kids to push their lies
on last night's National extension they were talking about Aectic ponds drying up because of MANMADE global warming. A new adjective thown in with no proof. If they had just said global warming, no objection.
Looks like the eco-freak ship S.S. LIVE EARTH has sprung a leak and is sinking and despite all this from AL GORE and his fruadelent movie looks like their not buying this global warming poppycock
ROBERT KENNEDY JR is a big time eco-wacko and he blames republicans for cuasing big time climate choas WHAT A JERK i mean what else will this spoiled ltittle kennedy brat say next? Just another kennedy idiot
