again, you're not organizing, you're a lone voice ranting (in a really whiny way, FYI). a good organizer would have gotten his friends to understand the injustice at hand and motivated them to do something as minimal as sign up for a free board and say "me too".
Oh, give me a fucking break. Plenty of people here have come forward and agreed, and apparently, I'm not even close to being the first to complain about this situation. What difference does it make? If Seth doesn't give a fuck, then he doesn't give a fuck. Maybe when his venue is bankrupt, he will. Here's to hoping.

100% guaranteed that this show didn't sell out in advance. you could have walked in to the show paying nothing more than face. don't want to drive down to DC and risk a sold-out show? ask in the FAQ if tickets will be available at the door. oh, wait, that might be construed as sending a message to the club… nevermind.
Sold out last year, same artist, almost the same date. I dunno what your little Wikipedia adventure is supposed to prove.

as mentioned previously, the 930 club's surcharges are in line with other large venues. maybe you don't make it out to big-city shows that often? to prove it to yourself, please try ordering tickets from livenation, or ticketmaster, or another venue using ticketfly. you'll see that surcharges are similar. i'm not saying you don't have a right to protest, but you make it sound like it's something that only the 930 club does. are you ranting on livenation.com too? or do you think that the 930 owes you something?
I don't go to livenation, I don't go to other venues. I don't give a flying fuck what they charge, because I don't go there. I came here for a show, and the prices were goddamn ridiculous. It's that simple.

do you seriously think that seth stays up late at night, dreaming up new & innovative ways to piss of his customers - because he hates them? do you think he's been in business this long by alienating people?
No, I think he doesn't care. There's a big difference between malevolence and apathy, but when you are charging people for a SERVICE, apathy for their needs is unacceptable.

Hmm, well, judging from your illogical responses and half-assed remarks, I could have assumed the very same.
Honestly, charge whatever you want. I've made myself clear, as have many others, on the topic, and have expressed my feelings on the matter repeatedly. There's not much that can be done if the management doesn't care for what their customers think. I've been going to this venue for almost 10 years, so being a "paying customer" who gives you "lots of money," as you so put it, has never been a question. I won't be visiting this venue, or this forum, any longer. It's quite apparent that this topic, and the issue it presses on, have been covered repeatedly, and yet those responsible have no concern for it. I can sit an argue with various anonymous people who have no control over the issue for as long as I want, but it doesn't make a difference. It's the management who matters, and clearly, the management in question has no care for the people who've put them where they are. Good luck in the future, with these kinds of practices and by treating your potential customers this way, you're DEFINITELY going to need a LOT of it.
