The programme for the Working in the Live Industry workshop was created by Ticketmaster’s Alema Miah, Andrew Sage and John Talbot utilising numerous videos and recruitment materials. The session was hosted at Westminster College and it lasted for three hours, with 14 music and performance students (aged 17 and 18) and consisted of three distinct group tasks:
- Life of a Concert
- Planning a Mainstage
- Design a Music Festival
Alema and John presented an overview of Live Nation and Ticketmaster and delivered a class on roles in concert value chain. The session closed with Alema presenting the details of Live Nation’s Promoter Meet Ups and Apprenticeship Program. The college’s course tutors were pleased with the workshop, which they said was interesting, interactive and informative. The college will be working with the college to work with the students who have expressed an interest so they can be contacted by LNE at appropriate date.
