compared to shows i have gone to it was quite comparable...
its not as if it was a $100 madonna ticket.
for example the night i performed ... i think $15 for 5 artists 
several travelling from europe is rather fair.
$15 ridiculous? the price of a CD? come on now....


> Shame on both the promoters and the
> artists.

now this just seems like a big bowl of sour grapes...
i would try to explain the logistics of puttting together a large 
scale event to try to illustrate the large amounts of costs that go 
into these things.. but i think you would prefer just to to grumble 
about it .


> You'd think with big money sponsors like 'The WIRE' and 'C74'
> things would be alittle better ;)


sponsors doesnt always equate to big money,...
its not like pepsi or intel was sponsoring it
