By Barb Dye, COMBO | I opened the e-mail expecting to see some really fabulous shows featuring our many great female entertainers! And then they proceeded to promote all male shows by Brad Paisley, Post Malone, Gilberto Santa Rosa, and sporting events of The Rockies, the Avalanche, the Denver Nuggets, and a special Monster Jam event (you know – the one with the big, giant pick-up trucks rolling over stuff?) Also comics Jeff Dunham, Gabriel Iglesias, and FINALLY – the BIG SHOW with the Ladies – The Pump and Dump Show!!!
How insulting is this to our creative and talented women and to National Celebrate Women Month? Where are the shows with Cher, Beyonce, Janet Jackson, Adele, Celine Dion, J.Lo, Shakira, Kathy Griffin, Margaret Cho, Oprah, and all those country ladies who are suing the country radio stations to get FAIR – if not equal –airplay like Maren Morris, Kelsea Ballerini, or the next Women of Country tour (with Tanya Tucker)?
Disappointing marketing technique, Ticketmaster. You can do better.
