Also, I hate the way most large venue fans treat the opening act with disrespect. Not always, but a lot of the time. > No, your not the only one who doesn't want to spend a lot of money > just to > see Patty open for the Dixie Chics in a huge arena.

I've learned that we're an after thought . The juice is in the east and the south, and the fans up here take it in the shorts. Not just Patty, but most performers. When they show up here, it's like mid week, then they wonder where everyone is, because they play Seattle on a Wed. and it's not sold out. People work. This mid week stuff is for a 40 block radius. Believe me. People here are STARVED for acts. In the "dark months", if you want to tour, that's the time. >> But you all have that great local grunge scene! :-) <> That's exactly it! I would be very open to paying $35 - $40 to see Patty in an intimate setting...there you know you're going to get your money's worth. Arena shows are so hit and miss...so much of a concert for me is SEEING the artist...something that can't often be done at a stadium unless you get your tickets from scalpers. And opening acts...people are usually still pouring in during the opening set...talking, walking in front of you constantly..etc...

Patty played tons of little 100-500 seat venues with and without her band over the last three years. Why did you not go see her then? Because you don't go see anyone who isn't know. Expand your horizons. I've seen Patty 10 times over the last three years. Sat in the front row 5 times. Enjoyed the hell out of it. Learned a great lesson. There is plenty of great music out there. Don't wait until everyone starts talking about someone. Be the first to talk about someone. It's a great thing when it happens and your there to see it.
