WSP 12/29 Roxy Benefit

What!?! $125 for a tic...i know its for an awesome cause but DAMN panic!

Dude, you sound like a moron. The reason for high priced tickets, plates etc. at a benefit is because it is to BENEFIT a cause and not the band. $125 is cheap in the grand scheme of things in the not-for-profit world.

indeed, it is a fundraiser so it's bound to be a heftier ticket price. if you don't have the cash to dole out, wait for a regular show. a 'cocktail party' with the band before the show definitely sounds cool though.

i guess it's true "charity hurts!"

$130,000 raised last year and $100,000 the year before, right on panic keep pushin the good vibe!

Gawd I wish I had $500 to support this cause and rub elbows with the band

Who is Roxy? And why does she need out hard earned $$$?

well first of all Dogfood, i can understand how it would cost $500 for a plate(or whatever), open bar, and to uummm...sit in the same room with the band. but the $125 is for concert only and like i said i know its a benefit, but there have been many other bands that have done "benefit" shows without charging more than $100.

The easiest way to bring the ticket price down is to reduce the net benefit to the music students of Georgia, Drewedmo. With that in mind, please tell us all just how much less than $130K you'd prefer they receive.

It's easy to figure out. Let me help you....

The Roxy holds 1500 people and this show sells out. At $125 per head, gross revenue totals $187,500. Since the net charitable donation is $130,000, show costs and overhead come to $57,500.

So all you have to do is set your ideal ticket price, multiply that figure by 1500 seats, then subtract $57,500 for overhead. What's left is what you would have the Georgia students receive. And if you subtract that figure from $130,000, you'll be staring at the shortage that your new ticket price would create.

So assuming you're not a child who whines and bitches for the hell of it, and assuming that you wouldn't dream of raising a gripe unless you had a constructive alternative to offer, please use the above formula and let us all know just how much less than $130,000 you'd prefer these students receive.

yep always an expensive ticket. its a CHARITY BENEFIT!!!!!!

I can never afford that. :)

Its for the next generation of musicians...education is priceless..$500 or $125 is nothing compared to a knowledge of music you can keep forever....you will make more money in your life!!!!!

CHARITY!!! need anyone say more? The boys are playing for free, so that "we" as fans will donate $125 or $500. I wish that I could afford it, but I'd rather them raise more money that for me to get my selfish wish.

We have 2 nights following the Roxy anyway. I pitty anyone complaining about the cost of charity!!

anybody ever heard of tax deduction? get off your keisters and donate without wsp holding your hand
