it could earn as a venue owner by letting its venues sit empty, rather than opening them to artists who do not use live nation promotion services. concert fans believe competition could lower the overall cost. i have no idea where these fees go to, but yeah, it's pretty ridiculous. i think if it was, you know, up to the certain venues that the artists perform at, that would be, you know, break up the market a little bit. the beverly hills based live nation calls the allegations baseless, saying the justice department ignores key factors like increasing production costs and surging artist popularity, saying their profit margins are just above 1% and claim it won't fix ticket or service fees. calling ticketmaster a monopoly may be a pr win for the doj in the short term, but it will lose in court because it ignores the basic economics of live entertainment, such as the fact that the bulk of service fees go to the venues, and that competition has steadily eroded. ticketmaster market share and profit margin. no company other than ticketmaster can deal with this number of tickets. music indus

so while it is difficult to get regular access to the real theatres and venues, they can simulate theratory. and that simulation begins before they step out into the lights. one thing we learned from our research is that bodies' stress response to performance can be as powerful backstage as it is on stage, the anticipation of performance hits. this helps us to tailor training to make sure we are not only preparing them for what happens on stage under the lights and in front of the audience but also how they cope backstage. how do they manage anxiety and get themselves physically and mentally into a place where they are ready to walk on stage and give the best performance. 0nce students are on stage, george can control everything. he can change the venue, he can change the reaction to make the night go as well or as badly as he wants. the performance laboratory is running an unreal engine. each member of the audience is an individual videogame character. they all behave independently and they do not always show up. i got lucky tonight. what is interesting about the space is that there
