On March 29, 2016, Mr. Sweeney made a formal offer for a performance by one of our clients for an event in June at The Municipal Auditorium in Eureka, CA. Having never heard of or worked with this buyer before, I spoke on the phone with Mr. Sweeney to get some sort of background / history. He said he was involved on a team that produced a show another well known artist, however he was not the one on paper, so I had no way to verify. I informed him that in order for his offer to be considered, we would require 50% deposit with return of contract in 7 days, and the remaining 50% 30 days prior to the engagement. He acknowledged and agreed to this. The date was then confirmed and paperwork issued the following day. I followed up with him 3 days later to ensure everything was received and was told yes and that it would be sent the following day, that was April 5, 2016. I have made numerous attempts to contact Mr. Sweeney via phone and email; he has never returned a message. He has been given more than enough time to rectify the situation as we are now over 3 weeks after the initial due date. I have spoken with the venue and they are aware that although he lists our client as the headliner for the concert on his paperwork, that information is false and I shared the same information as I have with you. 

I normally would have let this go, and just never do business with him and warn colleagues of him. However, after stumbling across other people's horror stories, I feel an obligation to let you know that it doesn't appear that he has changed one bit. My advice, steer clear of any involvement with this person.

Let's get one thing straight about this!!! Drew Blakeley is a joke. Not only is he NOT THE AGENT FOR ANYONE!!! He might work for one, maybe as a pee on. But he represents no one!!!! He might manage a facebook page. That is about all. He wants to say that certain names are not on contracts. That is a lie. First of all he DOES NOT have any access to that information at all!!!!! Not only does he NOT KNOW how to route his own "Artist" .  hell, he even asked us for us to help to route shows for him through Redding, and Chico. Because he is oblivious of his own job. Just because a offer is made, does not constitute there has to be a agreement. The offer that we had sent, was to be signed by his" ARTIST" , never was!!! So according to our protocol, we chose not to move forward on this show. We never advertised it or anything, just simply let it go. Dropped like a bad habit

He states that he was going to let it go, until he came across some b.s. that an old girlfriend wrote years ago. Thats a little pysychotic. Not only is it pysychotic, it is also a stalking trait. Not only did he write what he wrote. Then would email, and ask dumb questions, like we are friends or something!!!! He's a young kid who knows nothing!!! It DOES NOT MATTER IF HE TOLD HIS VERY FEW COLLEAGES that you have. We've done 6 shows since you. And will continue to do shows way past this point . Now looking back at emails, I dont think we even got the rider, HELL let alone the contract til the 28th of April. Thats what our emails show....This guys a joke. 

Just to show what a joke he is, this it what he wrote, when i made the first statement..... 

So, I just received notice that there was a comment on ripoff report.com obviously from you.

You are absolutely correct, you did not sign the contract and no one is coming after you for anything. Time has passed and while I'm still confused, but much less angry.

My question is why did you even bother submitting offers if you had no intention of presenting the show?

Did something happen unexpectedly? My biggest issue was that you never returned a phone call or email until I made it known that I was sharing my experience with other agents as a warning. Things happen all the time in this business, dates move, venues change, etc., we all work through it. This all could have gone so differently if you had simply communicated.

Can you explain to me what occurred on your end?

 Anyone who knows anything about a legal binding contract knows. That in order for it to be legal. Both parties must sign. I did not sign and send back. There for the offer and or contract is not valid. Of course the venue had them down. Isnt that how it works. And as for you being such a great guy and telking everyone about me.....well thats funny in its self. The person you believe write this , is not what you think.
