Should Ozzfest 08 be webcast?

[mangledflesh]

So in light of a recent festival that had time to edit and package its live footage
of a 3 day event and pulled off well via a sponser, why does the makers of this grand 8+yr life run of Ozzfest put it on the web?


Its only for one day and if anything they can charge a $6.66 fee for ppl to watch coverage all day. It would def make up for the ones that cant make it to Tx for the 1 stop.


Thoughts?

Really, noone has thoughts of this? I would be nice for the ones that cant or wont make the trip and has a high speed connection.

that would be sweet and there's technically time to work it out.

A webcast would be great, and for a minimal fee (I like your $6.66) for the those that cant make the trip.  Good Idea!  ::smile

A few ppl agree and in this day and age, it should be a option. With 131 ppl viewin this thread I wonder if any of them were any mods that would might of passed on the word. Its only one day, all day, it would be great for that happen. I would call off work to watch it all day, haha

they should get some venues in different cities to participate.  put it on the big screen, charge $6.66 to get in, donate the profits to cancer research.  the bar (or wherever) will make their $$$ from drinks/food, the fans will get to see the show and everyone who can't get to Texas can celebrate Ozzfest together.  even have a merchandise stand all the bands can send their stuff to sell there.

for the small fee of, what will cost you just as much as if you went.... That is of course if they decide to do that.... I'm sure Sharon is seein the dollar signs!! I'll wait till it comes out on DVD, burn it and give copies away for free just to piss her off!::surprise

without question....

lollapalooza streams free on at&t's blueroom..

Damn interesting concept and could generate additional income, however, I am sure that there would still be people bitching about the qualilty of the feed, sound, why are they using that camera, blah, blah, blah.............. I would pay to see it though!

That would be nice, but I doubt they will do it anyway

Imagine that, another big festival that use to be a traveling behemoth is now a 2 to 3 day event BUT is now going to be webcast and still no word of Ozzfest?


Come on....

While I doubt that Sharon will webcast, you can bet your last dollar it will be a DVD which will come out around Christmas time. She's going to make the most money she can.......remember where you heard it first!
