[longseason]

Just keep puttin the screws to us guys...it's not like the diehards haven't given you twenty years of business or anything like that. I'm sure that I've invested close to ten thousand dollars over the years on Hip shows, merchandise, etc. I see Kingston isn't soldout. I find that interesting. I hope Downie can put in a private boat launch for him and the kids this summer. Just don't be swimming in the Lafarge direction Gord....they don't really like you too much.

What's with the sense of entitlement? Just vote with your wallet and don't go. What would you expect the band to do, put an event like this on for everybody at their cost? For the diehards? My first show was in 92, so do I deserve a discount?

Supplementing their revenues with events perceived to be in demand is just smart business and good marketing.

I remember there was a time when we as community were dying for the band to embrace events of this nature. Now were criticizing the band for charging fair value?

Twenty-five dollars for admission and a CD is a pretty good deal, methinks. 12.50 for the disc and 12.50 for admission to the Cineplex. Okay by me.

My only hope is that the Silver City Oakville will host the show in their VIP section — wherein they serve beer. That'd be sweet.
