I don't think a concert is a good comparison for this situation. The airline has options to get the passenger to where they are going the same day sometimes only hours later. In some cases, my personal experience, I've gotten people to where they were going earlier by putting them on a non-stop cutting out any connecting city they had. Also, but it's rare, other airlines can be used as a very last resort. That is really stupid though as you've already given out compensation and now would be giving the revenue of the ticket away as well. I've done it before but it's so rare not even worth mentioning. (Then why did I??)

Anyway, my point is the concert won't be happening at the same venue for who knows how long, if ever again. Airlines have flights to the same destination in many cases multiple times per day.

Airhead's figure of 90% is low. It is well above that. Going by my own numbers and my own experience, it would be over 99% of the people got on the flights they intended to.
