February

< At the start of the month, Bill Sargent, a Los Angeles pop promoter, offers The Beatles a guaranteed $50 million to perform one reunion concert, which will be televised on closed circuit television throughout the world. His basic plans are laid out as follows:

1. All four Beatles will perform live at any location of their choice, anywhere in the world, and that they may perform individually but they must play together for a minimum of at least 20 minutes.

2. Bill Sargent will retain all rights and all interests in the show in all media in perpetuity. He estimates that the cost of putting on the concert will be about $68,000,000 but, by charging $50 a seat at all cinemas showing the closed circuit broadcast, he believes he can gross approximately $150,000,000 in one single night. First reports suggest that The Beatles are keen on the idea, although there are complications that stand in their way. Sargent reveals that he has met with lawyer David Braun, who represents George, and that John is "keen on the idea", having suggested a reunion some weeks before the news of Sargent's offer broke.>

< September 20 Sid Bernstein - a promoter for the early Beatle tours in America - publicly offers the Beatles $230 million dollars if they would re-unite to do a concert for charity. John, Paul, George and Ringo turn down the offer.> --Roujan (talk) 10:31, 7 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
