Janet Jackson & LL Cool J in North Carolina

Postponed

 

The Greensboro Coliseum Complex is an indoor arena that went under extensive renovation and went from a 15,000 seating venue to over 20,000 seats today

 

It is located in Greensboro North Carolina the third largest city in North Carolina with a population of about 260,000 in Guilford Country and the surrounding Piedmont Triad which consist of Winston-Salem and High Point and of course Greensboro, served by the Piedmont Triad International Airport.  Do not confuse the Triad with “Triangle” region of Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill which is directly east.

 

The Triad combined statistical area is about1.6 million people the 30th largest metropolitan area in the USA.  The Triangle directly east has a metropolitan area of 1.4 million.  As you will see on the map these areas are adjacent and people will come from many directions to see the show, therefore promotions have to cover a large area.  And something that might not show up in the census is the huge college population in North Carolina the Tried is an important educational region.  Promotions have to make to the college dormitories and not just the cities.

 

The secret to the North Carolina population are the Universities, we have to reach out the college population.

 

Janet Jackson and LL Cool J will be performing at the Greensboro Coliseum Complex Saturday 4 October 2008, which perfect for the student population.  I think we want to target the student population who may not have established credit yet in some cases, so a system of sales has to be setup to do business with the college students at the colleges even if it mean breaking off blocks of tickets for selected colleges to be sold by the student organizations and fraternities.

Janet and LL Cool J Performs at the City of Brotherly Love

Janet and LL Cool J Performs at the City of Brotherly Love

Postponed

 

The Wachovia Center is an indoor arena located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and is the home of the 76ers (NBA) and Wings (NHL) and other professional sports franchises.  It was a $206 million project completed in 1996.

 

The Wachovia Center can seat about 20,000 people it has numerous restaurants, 126 luxury suites and 1,800 club seats.

 

Philadelphia is the largest city in Pennsylvania and the 6th most populous city in the United States, 5th largest metropolitan area and 4th largest consumer market and the center of power of Philadelphia County and is the 49th most populated city in the world.

 

Nicknamed the City of Brotherly Love, the city has a population of about 1.4 million people and the greater Philadelphia metropolitan area has a population of about 5.8 million people.

 

The city consist of mostly African Americans at about 45% and whites at about 43%.The main targeted age group for the Rock Wit Chu Tour in this city is from the age of 18 to about 50 years old which is about 45% to 50% of the total population with median income of about $31,000 per household for the city as a whole, while 18% of families and 23% of the population including 31% of those under 18 years old and 17% over 65 years of age are below the poverty line. 

 

What this tells you is that the targeted group is above the median for the city as a whole which is $31,000 per household, which may increase discretionary spending by our targeted group for our services. Of the registered voters about 75% are democratic, which makes this a good venue for “Rock the Vote” a non profit organization that builds voting blocks through with the youth through entertainment.

 

Janet Jackson and LL Cool J will perform at the Wachovia Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on 2 October 2008 after performing in Boston and than it is off to Greensboro, NC at the Coliseum Complex.  Because of the demographics/location I predict a quick sellout.  If you are a Janet Jackson and/or an LL Cool J fan and want to be present at this event please get your ticket As Soon As Possible.

The TD Banknorth Garden is an arena in Boston, Massachusetts, named after the sponsor is often called the Garden.  It is the home of the Boston Celtics (NBA) and Boston Bruins (NHL).  Constructed to replace the famous Boston Garden the arena was called the Fleet Center, it opened in 1995 and has a maximum capacity of about 19,500.
