Just as the excitement over arthouse films generated by the Sundance doesn't necessarily translate to big business for the theaters, the raucous crowds that free music festivals attract haven't flowed over to the live houses, which are in business all year round.
就像在金馬國際影展引起搶票風潮的藝術片，未必總會在商業院線票房長紅，熱鬧滾滾的免費音樂祭雖然開發了潛在觀眾，但這股熱潮並未完全轉嫁到每天都要開門營業、需自負盈虧的 live house 上。
