I suspect it would cost more to sell the ads than they would make in revenue anyway.

@Davis - Great points but I'd wager that everyone here understands the Foo Fighters' business and why they might choose to do an ad-free concert. Also known is how decreasing costs have made video increasingly viable as both a loss leader and a promotional tool. The point being made was that viewers are increasingly/frequently/overwhelmingly? consuming ad-free video and that obviously raises concerns among those who see video as a monetizable product unto itself and who are anxious for the video ad business to mature a bit.
