that's fair....Wasn't Madonna like $250.00? Hey, $15.00 is nothing to really cry about.

  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
