If anyone is going and wants to be super nice and buy a ticket off my buddys band you can drop me an email at dmnufactr@aol.com and I will hook you up with their contact info. Its pretty lame that koshick makes bands sell 20 tickets.
we did it last year. i thought it was worth it. otherwise unsigned bands wouldn't get to play, and it lets the band make their money back. if a band can't sell 20 tix, should they be at metalfest?
Selling 20 tickets to a local show wouldnt be a problem at all but its a bit harder when they are 50 bucks and its a 20 hour drive from where you are based out of.
