This gathering storm of tolerance and acceptance threatens us all! Why, it's just what Jesus would advocate! And god forbid Christians start acting like Christ!

There was a cone up for bid at the Nashville show too, gorgeous and green, but if I'd had the money for that, I would have just bought that wonderful tour poster and been assured of a souvenir.

I suppose geography rendered me unable to socialize even with the anti-social.

On the other hand, they're > not always being set by the artist in question... My guess is - more like almost never. The venue, the promoters...I would imagine that there are a whole bunch of folks in a much better position to determine and set ticket prices compared to the performer. Frankly, I imagine not that many performers concern themselves with it: some do, and make a fuss when prices are too high (and I'm sure some do, and make a fuss when they think prices are too low). Does anyone have any solid info on this? I mean, I don't think Neil sat down at his alternate-fuel computer and dashed off an e-mail to all the venues for his tour, saying "tickets shall be $100." But how are ticket prices set? Anyone have any experience here? - -- ...Jeff Norman The Architectural Dance Society http://spanghew.wordpress.com ------------------------------ End of fegmaniax-digest V17 #111 ********************************
