Mohegan offers more in guarantees to the artists.

The casino will give out comp tickets to high rollers hoping they make up the money with them gambling.

This, coupled with the fact that XL Center has more permanent tenants (Wolf Pack, UConn) that need to be scheduled around and the time factor for changing over the area when the ice is in. And Mohegan adds a 90 day, 90 mile radius clause to their show contracts so artists won’t ever play both venues in the same tour.

It means the artists agree not to play anywhere within 90 miles of Mohegan during a 90 day window before or after the show. I’m sure it’s negotiated on a case by case basis but that’s the general gist of what they ask artists to agree to.

Great for sales, but in my experience the crowd really blows when it’s full of comps.
