Oh maaaan. Now I get to hear “not only will you be rich in 6 weeks opening a store – but you get to party with rockstars BACKSTAGE”…when they really mean a special “VIP area” that burnlounge appears to have paid to get to do at LiveNation events (based on the way the article is worded, yes my interpretation).
If I were LiveNation I would take their $ as well.
