and that's simply the question you need to answer for yourself…is that concert worth the total price per ticket?

deciphering which part goes to who doesn't change the answer to that question

Right….but my point is a band that can demand a $30 face value, will most probably be able to demand 21% more up to $36.50….but a band that can only demand a $10 face value will certainly not be able to draw in people to 'check them out' with a 65% service charge up to $16.50…so it's the up and coming bands, and the clubs who try to promote them that lose out in the long run, because people like myself, and quite a number of other board members going by the comments, have given up on going to the club to see what these new bands are all about.

That's not what I meant…but I don't see as many "blah blah blah is now sold out" as I used to…and I would guess the alcohol sales have declined in recent years.

Five of the next seven shows are sold out. Including last night's and Sunday's shows, it would be seven of nine.
