Folks. American music awards makes money. I have gone to the show as a guest three times. Tickets are really expensive and the only ones that are for free are the first few of the orchestra for the celebrities.

The show also ran against NCIS, the Voice and This is Us which have been huge ratings getters for years or with This is Us 2 years. Tuesday was a bad move. They should’ve just kept it Thanksgiving week. Most tv shows are repeats then. The tv season just started. No one is repeating and people are excited for shows to be back.

Ticket sales probably just pay for the use of the venue and maybe the security they need to have. And there’s a lot more than a few rows I would think that are comp’ed. Press, nominees and other celebs get free tickets. Carole Radziwill from the RHONY was there and she “quit” the show this season. I doubt a 50+ year old woman paid to see this. And based on her Insta story she was 15 or so rows back.

However, orchestra seats were $500 dollars years ago. If the show is still happening it is because it’s creating money.

Doesn't it always come down to Nielsen being a fossilized system? I mean damn shows like Pretty Little Liars and Gossip Girl were fucking HUGE but young peeps and Nielsen never made any sense like who is using there system to track their viewing habits? lol

If the show is still happening it is because it’s creating money. Any TV show makes the bulk of its money from advertisers. They've even started having an official sponsor who gets marquee treatment alongside the name of the show, in this case it was YouTube Music. Without advertisers buying in, they wouldn't have a broadcast. dwhite isn't wrong with saying that ticket sales help to cover the cost of the event (including venue and security, etc). Any real revenue is from ad dollars.

If the show is still happening it is because it’s creating money. It’s not making money from selling tickets. See what mello says above. If that was their main revenue they’d do it every week. If they didn’t have the advertisers, there would be no show. That’s who helps the show even get on air. I am interested to see how much longer the AMAs will still air on a majornetwork. But seeing as though Dick clark’s rockin New Years Eve will always show, I’m sure there’s some kind of clause that ABC has to air the AMAs as well. They aren’t as relevant as they were 20 years ago. I’m honestly surprised they are still on. A lot of other award shows have gone away. Billboard actually resurrected their show, but I think it’s dumb. It should coincide with year end like it did originally.

Also ran against a Yankees/Red Sox elimination playoff game. Just wasn't a good night. But the AMAs seem like much less of an event than they used to. Having it on Thanksgiving week seemed like a kick off to the holiday season
