Tweeter Center now Comcast Center
By oddjob60 on Wed, 06/04/2008 - 12:39pm
The new signs are going up: Great Woods The Tweeter Center is now the Comcast Center. The announced 10-year partnership between Comcast and LiveNation, which owns the venue, becomes official before tonight's Eric Clapton concert.
The new deal follows last summer's bankruptcy filing by Tweeter Home Entertainment Group, whose CEO is now talking up its new store layouts.

Will I Be Billed By Comcast For Concerts I DON'T Attend?
Oh no...does this mean I can expect to be billed by Comcast for concerts I DON'T attend the way I'm billed for TV Channels I never watch?
Meanwhile ...
I'll be able to attend any concerts my neighbors do for free just because they bought tickets and the ticket guy reset the system.
lots of full day festivals
I hear all the concerts will be happening sometime between 8am and 4pm... so get there early and be prepared to waste half the day waiting around!
High-Def concerts?
Does this mean concerts will have to be viewed in digital by that deadline in 2009? :-)
But in all seriousness, I think pretty much any name is better than Tweeter Center. I just miss Great Woods.
The more people that attend
The more people that attend a concert, the slower the music will be.
Don't use "too many" seats, either
School group? Corporate outing? Sure, they'll take your money, but they will throw you all out for using too much buttwidth without warning or explanation of what "too many seats" means.
Yeah but
If your ticket doesn't work and you can't get in they're going to tell you the problem's not on their end.
What's after Comcast Center?
So how much longer until it's renamed something else? And what will it be called? Will Vegas take bets on this? If we had casinos in Boston we could bet on this.
Well I doubt they'd try to
Well I doubt they'd try to get out of their Naming Rights contract before the 10 years are up unless they go out of business or they leave the market.
But how long do cable company names last?
Any longer than banks? RIP Continental Cablevision, MediaOne, Time Warner RoadRunner, Adelphia, AT&T Cable, Group W Cable, The Nashville Network, SportsChannel, Fox Sports New England, and doubtless many more.
I'm not even from MA and I
I'm not even from MA and I still call it Great Woods
If it were occupied by coyotes
would it become the Woofer Center?
