It was so large, that they didn't sell out the stadium. If I recall, the tickets were slightly over 20 dollars. But as you say, the venues charge a lot of money for bands to play. The security costs a lot. But didn't F11 rescedule some shows. Since the venues were charging more than they wanted the fans to have to pay? About the ticketmaster charges. Are you saying that I would have to come up with the 42.50 and also more charges from ticketmaster? Jim -- We should have a Vollyballocracy. We elect a six-pack of presidents.
