Ticketfly still down (ransom demand??); Music Venues & Bands feeling the pain

Online ticketing service Ticketfly is still down, more than 24 hours since announcing they were the “target of a cyber incident.” It’s staying down as they investigate and “don’t have a specific timeline to share right now. We deeply regret the inconvenience caused by this incident and are working around the clock to resolve the issue and get all Ticketfly systems back up and running.”

Lionel Richie brought his “All Night Long” tour to Austin (again) last month for a show an ACL Live at Moody Theatre on October 24. From opener “Running With the Night” on, it was a non-stop hitfest with both solo songs and Commodores classics, finally encoring with USA for Africa charity single “We Are the World.” That included, of course, his 1984 #1 worldwide smash “Hello,” which has been getting a revived interest of late because of Adele’s “Hello” (which is currently the #1 single in America). Of that he recently told Dujour: Even though she didn’t cover the song, but the word ‘hello’ automatically everyone called me on the phone and said she used “hello,” and I said well I kind of own “Hello,” haha. But not to the point where it’s any kind of a problem. I’ll loan hello to Adele. Setlist for Lionel’s ACL show is below.
