WILLIAM MORRIS F*CKED CIARA? – CONCERT RIDERS EXPOSED
Hollywood Street King is putting our interns to work. We have carefully planted HSK spies into all the major agencies to “COLLECT DATA” for release to the public.
If you were ever wondering why your concert tickets cost so much… and where all those added fees go. The show that this specific rider was issued to was held at an arena in South Carolina. This rider is not all that interesting, but the story behind it a little more. Not only did William Morris force $70,000 advance payment in full one month before the event, but they would not allow advertising until 5 days before.
Total tickets sold for this event = 365. This is a pathetic number for someone featured that month, week and day on pop cultures only black washed music station BET “Broke Entertainment Television”. Acts think they need these big wig agents like Cara Lewis who are really just pimps, Ciara and other acts their whores.
William Morris/Endeavor, CAA and the other major agencies are a major part of the reason entertainment quality and diversity has taken such a nose dive.
You still wanna come to Hollywood and be an artist?

I want to be a fan of HSK, and once again this thing w/Ciara rider…anyone who deals w/artist performace contracts on the venue/promoter/talent buying end sees the total rider requirements and contract after going through the offer process and has the free will to sign on the dotted line, suggested changes, and/or withdraw the offer if the artist fee makes the ska-nario too risky, any details in the rider or contract that is wack, can be changed, or guess what, audi 5, just drop the deal buyers. Everything is negotiable and I’m not an agent, and fo show, they’ll eat you for breakfast if you let ‘em on pricing and details in their (the artists) favor. Agents open up opportunities around the globe for artists and agents like Cara, well I’ve read good and bad things about her since her announcement to leave WME, but the music industry is small, and check her roster…if she didn’t get along w/most folks most of the time and done great things for her artists over the years, they all wouldn’t have piled onto her roster…people talk, and she must be good at what she does…dj farfig, peeeiow, rubber’s burnin
