He needs a booking agent that understands the Asian market better. Asian fans seem to be younger, so less independent money and more dependent on parents. Travel to another country is much more expensive and involved than traveling within Europe. I’m surprised that Wasserman has fumbled this so badly.
I mean this all sounds legit, but what would understanding this change, what can they do? I don't see anything to suggest they don't understand this, probably with loads more detail than we do. It is super clear that the costs of touring Asia are currently just too high for a tour of this size (too big to travel and put on shows cheaply, not big enough to make stadium money to cover that) to actually break even on costs. So doing lots of small shows, as would serve the need you mention, makes the cost per show even MORE, that's not possible; so they tried something else, like can we just do ONE BIG SHOW and maybe people will get to it if it's the only one?? I mean, now we see that didn't work but it was definitely worth a try if the alternative is no Asia shows because of cost- which it pretty clearly is- and I feel like the fact that they bothered is down to Louis hearing the fans and wanting so much to come through. I feel absolutely certain he (AND his team, who have tried so hard to do this in the face of problem after problem) are pretty devastated too, but I can't really see what they could have done differently
