AEG Live Protests Pier Six Pavilion Contract

AEG Live Mid-Atlantic, an entertainment company passed over for a contract to operate Baltimore’s Pier Six Pavilion, filed a formal protest Monday with the city Board of Estimates.

The Baltimore Development Corp. announced that it had entered into exclusive negotiations with Live Nation and SMG to take over management of the outdoor concert venue at the Inner Harbor beginning in 2017.

The Board of Estimates is scheduled to review a recommendation to approve a seven-year contract with Live Nation and SMG, one of three groups that bid to take over the contract.

AEG alleges that the BDC violated the city charter by seeking enhanced bids after the initial bidding process had closed, possibly giving an advantage to other contenders.

Live Nation and SMG would invest $3.4 million in capital improvements over the contract’s term.
