The Rentals Play "Free" Show Tonight/ Discounted Paul Stanley Tickets Still Overpriced

The Rentals Play 'Free' at Noika TheatreI am beginning to like the promoters at Nokia Theatre. When a show doesn't sell well, they essentially give away tickets. (You have to pay the "service charge" which ranges between $5 - $7 per ticket). It looks like the free link is now down but it is a pretty cool idea to try and pack the crowd in. There is nothing worse than a sparsely attended arena show.


Rock N Roll Fanasy Camp Plays BB Kings on Sept. 3rdROCK 'N ROLL FANTASY CAMP is playing B.B. King's on September 3rd. The show features Paul Stanley (KISS), Mark Farner from Grand Funk Railroad, David Letterman Show Horn Section + Special Guests. So, if you use the special offer code "OFFER", you can get $65 tickets (no wonder they weren't selling tickets - way too high a price for this weak of a lineup) for $40. In my mind, $40 is still too high a price! When you add back the $7.50 per ticket convenience charge and B.B. King's minimum (at the last show I was at, the charge was $10 per person per set) to sit at a table, you are basically back up to $65/ticket.
