WOW, Fucking DISGUSTING.BDx13 - 3-23-2006 at 05:51 PM
i dunno... i mean, yeah, that may be tough for kids, but that's a lotta bands that need to get paid, not to mention all of the other expenses. how
many people does the palladium hold?JawnDiablo - 3-23-2006 at 06:00 PM
joe cofffee is palyin one of these things says paul at the show on saturday, but i dont know if it is this onecrazyfists28 - 3-23-2006 at 06:40 PM
im surprised that package shows like warped tour and whatnot don't cost alot more since there are so many bands and people involved so i think that
its fairly reasonable to pay a decent buck to see a ton of bands on a given day......you figure it would be 12 to 20 to see any individual band with a
couple openers, so why not?Spoiler - 3-24-2006 at 12:27 AM
RAMALLAH NEWS;
"Yep, you heard right, we cancelled our European tour this April. Mike has a broken wrist and may need surgery. Won't know until mid-month. We do have
some random shows booked in May, plus New England Metal Fest the last weekend in April. A Mexican weekend is in the works thanks to Fuerza Booking by
early summer. We are working out details for a makeup tour over the summer in Europe. Keep an eye out for news and updates."XnMeX - 3-24-2006 at 08:01 AM
Maybe I just think it's a high price because there are barely any band I would pay to see that are playing. Voodoobillyman - 3-24-2006 at 08:29 AM
