Sources: NFL Asked Possible Super Bowl Perfomers To Pay To Play

Sources said that the NFL in its search for Super Bowl music acts "has asked artists under consideration for the high-profile gig to pay to play." The league has "narrowed down the list" for the '15 Super Bowl to Rihanna, Katy Perry, and Coldplay, according to the sources. NFL reps "asked at least some of the acts if they would be willing to contribute a portion of their post-Super Bowl tour income to the league, or if they would make some other type of financial contribution." The sources said that "the pay-to-play suggestion got a chilly reception from the candidates' representatives" (WSJ.com, 8/19).
