BUFFETT TIX ON THE DECLINE

OK Here Goes;
Hi Phlock,,,
We think we are forgetting some things regarding availability. I used to be in the biz (music),, which isn't easy, so here is my input..
1- At every venue you have pre-sale and season ticket holders, VIP,GOLD,SILVER,etc.. that makes it hard in it's own right..
2 - let's not forget about mom / dad/ friends that work at these venues they get first rights and will spit out their tix before we get ours.
3- all or most musicians and bands have reserved spaces in their contracts for friends and family usually the first 12 rows.
4 - have we ever thought about the bands,, I hope this isn't happening but it's a thought.. the STAR or BAND could be releasing their rows to brokers
for extra $$$$..????
5 - with this in mind that probably leaves 1/2 of the reserved seating available to us PO' folks !!!!
6 - we b**** and whine but yet every year we all go,, at least I do..
7- like i stated before , go to the show there are hundreds of people selling
tickets in the parking lots, and at the gate,, not all are scalpers.. you just have to take a chance and go to the show,,
8- I have never in 30 years of going to concerts not been able to get a ticket regardless of who was playing,, all it takes is a little effort.
9- I don't want to make any enemies here, it's just my opinion and i could be wrong.
10 - hope to meet any of y'all this summer, so far we're going to Nash and Indy
respects to the phlock,
