What is this?

The trade magazine Pollstar announces the first decline in pop concert ticket prices in a decade. The average price in the first half of 2005 dropped 6 percent. Promoters say this is because they're paying artists less. They're also booking fewer shows, and the touring festivals of past summers have given way to single events like Coachella and Bonnaroo.
