I attended this concert last night. Attendance was poor, in my opinion. My guess is it was due to the $ 25 price of the tickets. I’m curious to know what the actual attendance figures were, and how it compared to the year before.
The bands I saw were great, and this event has a lot of potential. To me it would make more sense to cut the ticket prices in half and get more people through the doors to buy food and drinks. If this involves scaling back the number of acts, and bringing the total concert time down from a total of 9 hrs to 4 or 5, then that’s OK with me.
