Sounds risky to me.

Because of Red Rocks’ unpredictable weather — the venue’s 6,435-foot elevation makes it more susceptible to extreme weather than Denver — an outdoor concert in Morrison at the end of December is akin to throwing an expensive tea party in the Marianas Trench. It will be memorable if it goes as planned, but that’s a big if. Cancellation insurance for the event cost three times what it would for a normal event, Tyler said.
That, combined with a splashy bill for artists and increased union dues for Red Rocks’ staff working on a holiday, has resulted in $175 general admission tickets. VIP tickets, which offer premium seating, champagne deals and commemorative merchandise, cost $350

Tyler is a smart and driven
Tyler is a smart and driven guy, but I think it's obvious to everyone in Denver his NYE show is going to be (at best) a financial disaster.
You can't force a show into that venue in late December. You can't. I genuinely worry for the inexperienced people who head up there for this. We have a lot of young transplants up here now who simply don't understand the realities of hanging out exposed at 6000+ feet in the middle of winter in Colorado.
This is a stupid, dangerous, and badly scheduled show.

As the son of famed concert
As the son of famed concert promoter Barry Fey, the venue is practically etched into the 26-year-old’s DNA.
He saw his first concert (Sting) here when he was three days old; on his fourth birthday, Steve Miller brought him on stage during a show that Barry’s company, Feyline, promoted to let him strum his guitar.
In four weeks, Tyler, the current owner of Feyline, hopes to write a new Fey name in the annals of Red Rocks concert history. On Dec. 31, he’s hosting the venue’s first-ever New Year’s Eve concert, an 11-group hip-hop concert set to bring Migos, Post Malone, Lil Pump and others to Red Rocks for a six-plus hour show.

Freezing weather, outside at elevation for 6 hours then you get the boot before midnight? And there’s a PAYMENT PLAN for your GA ticket?
Crazy

Seems like a good value. I'm guessing the music and libations on Titanic were more compelling than Lil Yaughty and (frozen) Coors Light.

It's a hip-hop show so no one
If the promoter really is smart than he's probably paying the talent small guarantees and likely got a nice deal on the venue, and even if he loses money he's making a splash with this.
A very smart promoter once told me that there are no bad shows, only bad deals, and if he made smart deals and it doesn't snow (and no one dies from exposure or gun shots or stabbings) it will be a legendary show and everyone will be talking about it, and him.
It's a big risk, but promoting any concert is gambling, so what the hell, he's going all-in.
Anyway, it's a hip-hop show, so no one will notice the weather or much of anything else since everybody will be busy putting their hands in the air and waving them like they just don't care.

Calling this a hip hop show
Calling this a hip hop show is like calling a Nickleback concert rock n roll.

I think they’re gonna be busy with their hands in their pockets or down their pants due to frost bite. Plus doing drugs in the freezing cold is awful.

This is cool
Over a dozen local skiers and snowboarders will drop from an industrial, steel and wood scaffold in the darkness, launch themselves 30 feet in the air, and thrill the crowd for three straight days at the annual SnowGlobe electronic music festival this weekend.
