Well, combination of gas prices rising & people buying tickets way in advance because of the likelyhood of a sellout results in stuff like this. People can't use the tickets they bought but now it's really hard to make last minute plans this year so not so many people are grabbing available tickets. Plane tickets will be outragous while driving any distance can set you back (as you're likely already affected on a daily basis). Only reason I'm flying down is because I had a free ticket due to frequent flyer miles my mom would otherwise have not used. Ticket would have cost me over $300, but then driving wouldn't have been any better an alternative with the length and that I'm coming by myself from NY. I was supposed to meet up with a friend in Tennessee and go to the show together but she couldn't go. I slacked on finding someone to take the ticket so now my friend from NYC is coming down just for Saturday because she loves Therion (and just for the hell of it).
