Re: Why No Charlotte or Raleigh in '23?
P/L = Profit & Loss Statement. Each venue is it's own "business" falling under much larger, billion dollar corporations. The new Willmington venue is a Live Nation venue, it's certainly unprofitable to date, understandibly, as only a few shows have been there since opening. Live Nation opens a new venue = DMB plays there. The Charleston deal is probably a long term contract that's financially profitable.
And a business looking at the 4 Charleston/Willmington shows probably sees that also having Charlotte and/or Raleigh wouldn't be a good business decision.
Venues aren't chosen by "well they sold out Venue X last year, why aren't they playing there this year?"
These are all big business decisions well above all our pay-grades, as much as we all think we could run this $1B business better than Live Nation and others
