Tell you what, when Anthrax comes around, you buy a ticket from ticketmaster and I'll cover the surcharges. I'll even buy you a beer if I go to the show.
Excellent! They are playing Yankee Stadium in September with Slayer and some other bands (though I will probably leave after Anthrax and Slayer). Tickets are around $100. So surcharges should be right around a car payment. LOL!
That is another thing. I can appreciate that there is more of a draw when multiple big name bands play together, but it is also more expensive. I might be willing to sell blood, plasma, semen, ball sweat and any other bodily fluid the medical industry would pay me for in order to get a $35 ticket to see Anthrax and Slayer at a place like Star Lake or Consol or even a large club in Pittsburgh. But I can't fathom paying an extra $60 for Dave Must-retire and Mainstream-ica. It comes down to the cash and what they are doing is right to that end, but still a lot of fans can't help but feel slighted by the Mini-palooza approach. I guess I am just an old fart who longs for the good old days where one headliner and two opening acts was considered a festival jubilee of entertainment. *sigh*
