It might just be personal preference but going to a huge venue to see a band or performer play just seems like a waste. And that's if you are incredibly lucky and can see around the fat sweaty arse standing in front of you (yes I am short). Now going to clubs is understandable. I think most people just go to the big venues for the "I was there in yesteryear" factor.
I had a similar experience with the ISP I used to work for. When I started there everyone loved their jobs and could get answers to whatever questions they may have had. Slowly over the course of three years things changed. Noone knew how any of the services really worked. Actual knowledge of the product was replaced by patronizing "moral boosters". Things like the book you mentioned, banners, and plenty of vanilla cake. I can't help but roll my eyes thinking back on it.
