Promoter Marc Albert of NCS Events chalked the cancellation of the remainder of the series up to falling attendance and concession revenue. Albert told local ABC affiliate WSYR that the events had been losing money and pulling the plug now would allow him to ensure that his vendors were paid. Albert added that he would like to continue to promote events at the Inner Harbor, but seemed skeptical. "If people don't come to free concerts, how can you expect them to show up for a paid concert?" he says. - CelebrityAccess Staff Writers |
