I've bonked many a legless woman before! ;)
cause that's all you can get!!!!
Can I buy you a drink? ;)
$75!!! Wow. Enough said.
It's $75 – holy bejesus. I'm not going unless she signs an affidavit in her own blood she's only playing songs from her first two albums.
I guess lesbians have more disposable income given that many of them don't have children nor do they have to buy nice clothes to impress men with. So $75 shouldn't be a detractor.
Personally I wouldn't pay $10 to see her, but the club knows what it's doing because you never see a show cancelled for lack of ticket sales….well, apart from the second B&S show that time. :D
I think it's that you get to see her in such an intimate venue. I mean, think about it, if you were a lesbian, wouldn't you prefer getting to see her while you're scrunched together with a thousand other lesbians?

HEY! If people are willing to pay $200+ for Simon & Garfunkel, $75 is chump change to them….but then again, how the hell is Etheridge worth more than Bowie? Are lesbians wealthier than gays and old people? :D
Alot of us would pay extra to be scrunched between some lesbians.

But we'd want better music to go with that.

what about the clothes they want to buy to impress women with? (can't wait for the response..)

I know of many more lesbian couples with a child (sperm donor) than gay couples.
she's not even that hot, either.

I dunno, I don't see how the club doesn't go bust on this one.

Yeah, but have you seen her wife? We're talking blonde trophy wife.

Are you kidding? It's going to sell out in a matter of days, I'll bet. She sells out Wolftrap year after year – what's that capacity?

Though, I will say, the tix are expensive. I had four people ready to go, and three dropped out (including me).
Originally I had planned to get tickets to one of her shows for my mom's christmas present. But $75? Does she really think she's so great that she can charge $75? I didn't even like her much before, but now I have a new reason.

>8k if remember correctly.
She doesn't play Wolftrap EVERY year.

Plus, there are a lot of people who would see her at a nice suburban venue where you can bring a picnic and a bottle of wine who wouldn't venture into a standing, no seats venue in a so-so part of town with tickets costing twice as much. 4000 tickets at Wolftrap at $20-$45 doesn't necessarily translate to 4x1000 tickets at $75 each at 9:30.

sure, i'll meet you later.. i'll hobble on over or crawl on my hands…..


:roll:
75.00?? is that a new club record??? I wouldnt have gone to see her regardless because its not my cup of tea..but holy batshit..sorry thats just crazy. My salary hasnt gone up in 3 years due to this economy, no way those tickets should be that much. That is completely on the artist, obviously doesnt appreciate her fans too much.
Wasn't James Brown $75? I guess Militia Muffdiver is as much a legend as James Brown, right?

James Brown could probably get all the lesbians he wants, too.
