2008 Hampton Social concert series at The Ross School cancelled
http://runawaydinosaur.com/2008/03/28/2008-hampton-social-co...NY Post Page Six reported today HAMPTONITES will have to find other forms of musical entertainment this summer. The popular Hampton Social concert series, which featured Prince, Dave Matthews, Billy Joel, Tom Petty and James Taylor at the Ross School in East Hampton, will not run this year. Warner Music Group, which bought Bulldog Entertainment, the Joe Meli-owned firm that created the concerts, for $6 million, lost $18 million on the deal, an insider said. “Warner was planning to take the high-end concert idea to Aspen, Dubai and Monaco but couldn’t sell tickets. The rich people they are targeting all have connections to get tickets for free, so no one was buying.”

The ultra-spendy Hamptons concert series ... [Social@Ross]
http://idolator.com/373400/The ultra-spendy Hamptons concert series Social@Ross—which featured shows by the likes of Billy Joel, Tom Petty, Prince, Dave Matthews, and James Taylor, as well as a $3,000/show pricetag for those people not famous enough to get in on their name recognition alone—will, alas, not see a second year. Which isn't all that surprising, given that Warner Music Group's purchase of Social@Ross promoter Bulldog Music resulted in an $18 million charge for the company and a lot of shareholders having heart attack-ack-ack-ack-ack-acks.
