Promoters Warn Over Adelaide Centre
Some of Australia’s top promoters – including Michael Coppel, Paul Dainty, Michael Gudinski and Michael Chugg – warned the South Australia government that Adelaide could miss out on international tours unless the Entertainment Centre was upgraded.
Plans were to give the venue a $50 million upgrade to be finished by 2010, but with the current economic climate, the government postponed many major projects.
A report by a parliamentary committee predicted that the AEC would more than triple its annual revenue to $647,000 if the upgrade goes ahead.
