What does it take to get the masses into the concert hall? Here's an ingenious marketing campaign which is both mad and clever (though hardly an enticement if you're lactose intolerant).

Pity the Eurojingle background music at the end lets it down a bit, but this is one slick ad. 10/10 for enterprise.
