If you're a live event nut but live in the sticks, listen up: Sony is about to bring live performances to digital theaters with its new Hot Ticket program. Sony will broadcast Broadway shows, concerts, and sports events to around 500 digital theaters, live and in
HD digital projection for about $20 a seat. The venture will launch with Cirque du Soleil's final performance of
Delirium from London and for the two of you who haven't seen it yet,
Rent's final Broadway performance will be shown in September. We have to admit, though, this could create some fun SuperBowl parties with rival factions on either side of the aisle, Congress style.

Hasn't Regal / AEG / Concerts West been doing this for years with Network Live?

I think they showed a lot of the same stuff they mention in this article even at Regals. Namely, the Placido Domingo concert and the Hannah Montana concert. At least in Atlanta. I am interested in some of these operas from around the world.

hey, for those of us whom don't have any Regal Cinemas, this is certainly great news....in fact, I had no idea that anyone had this before I read your comment....

Years ago when AEG first bought Regal, MLS did their deal with HDNet, and some of the first games that were on HDNet were shown in Regal theaters live. I went to one of those back in the day, it was pretty impressive.
