Yep...some habitual tailgaters from Indy aren't too happy with those rules, either. I guess they want the concessions $$s. Or they're afraid someone might have some fun.... :roll: :roll: :-?

Jimmy is certainly doing a lot of advertising if that is the case.. Also, if Landshark is going to replace Corona there must be plans for wider distribution..

Another factor is the fact that most of these venues have maybe 4/5/6000 seats in the shed. Those would be $126.00. The balance of the 20 to 25,000 people pay $36.00! 126.00 x 6,000 = $756,000.00 $36.00 x 14,000= $504,000.00 That's only $1,260,000.00 Ticket gross! Also, don't forget that the Sponso...

Re: tickets

All tickets are too expensive, whether it be Buffett orost anyone else. I used to be able to attend evry concert I anted, now I just have to pick a couple of the best. Of course, Buffett is one of them. (Sometimes the ONLY one). I paid 5.00 to see him at Kings Island the first couple of times. Most...

Are ticket prices high? Yep. In two years pavilion prices went from $66 to $86 to $126...basically a 100% increase. (Lawn prices have held at $36 the past two tours.) The affordability obviously depends on each individual's situation and priorities and I'm sure it's now a lot tougher for some. That ...

So Garry, do you feel the same about leather (shoes, jacket, wallet, etc.) as you do about pelts and furs? NO, NO, NO. If I had my way, I'd own no shoes-only flip flops and I'd have no need for a jacket. And what the hell is a wallet? Is it that thing my wife uses to carry my money? :lol: :lol: :lo...
