I hope no one agrees and for once it will be an enjoyable halftime.
Please don't ask questions, just use google.
Never let good music get in the way of making a profit.
I'm only here to reglaze my bathtub.
So... the Super Bowl half-time show will go to the highest bidder? That's just great. But then again, I never enjoyed it anyway. I hate that it exists. I wished it would stop.
I feel for the poor owners of NFL teams. It must be tough living the life none of us could ever dream of. So much so that they need to charge artists to play.
Those billions they make just aren't enough. Poor, sad fellows.
"Ladies & Gentlemen, it's time for the halftime extravaganza. Put your hands together for the highest bidder for the slot, singing "Almost Cut My Hair", Donald Trump!"

Didn't even click on the link...
I thought that was the case a long time ago...
Strange the NFL didn't think of it before... they charge for exposure via commercials, why not for hogging time during the half-time??
I never cared for NFL halftime (not even for Janet's nipple), so I couldn't give less of a hoot...
my music collection increased tenfolds when I switched from drug-addicts to complete nutcases.

it's not like the artiste that played the NFL HT spot were having problems meeting both ends at the end of the month, right?? It's pure annoying crud from music můillionaires in 95% of the cases anyway, so making them pay for a chance to get even more exposure sounds like good business tactics...
Now, if the NFL gave Thinking Plague or Anglagard a shot at its HT show, I'd probably think different.

I predict that large companies like Coca Cola will 'sponsor' the halftime show in exchange for product placement and getting the artist to do an actual TV commercial to endorse their product. So the artist won't "pay" to do the halftime show, they'll just plug some product in exchange.

They make you pay full price for the last pre season game with only rookies playing.
NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF STUPID PEOPLE IN LARGE GROUPS!
Ironically, won't it end up being the same bands they've always had?

Doesn't Pepsi or some other insipid brand already pay for "naming rights" to the halftime show?

What utter bullshit. Unless it was Glass Hammer of course- I'd drop a few grand to play the superbowl. Kickstarter campaign!!!
Here we go….
Before the argument starts, many musicians already have sold themselves to the corporate ladder once they signed an endorsement deal.
Well, if they have the right amount of $$$
I bet this gal has enough cash to buy into one Super Bowl…
Maybe they should just revive "Up with People"?
I got it, marching bands. Except I want the infamous Stanford Marching Band doing a Zappa medley.

They want artists to pay to prance around onstage to prerecorded music broadcast at the stuporbowl halftime show?

Six months later, I can't remember who played the halftime show in February's Super Bowl. They think bands want to pay to not be remembered?
Clearly, they are not greasing the right palms.Originally Posted by GuitarGeek
Why stop at halftime entertainment? Why not have the two teams that come up with the most cash play in the Super Bowl?
