BoomerFest Update

Anyone who looks at the way this thing has evolved would be a fool to pre purchase a ticket, just MHO. Guy has no track record of putting on concerts that I have seen and his preplanning has been all over the place.

Anyone believe that a group would sign on to a concert without money up front??

I wouldn't think that Edgar Winter's guarantee could be anything over $2,500.00 these days. The artists that were announced tour state fairs, bars and casino lounges, they are hardly a draw to bring people to Mexico. I don't doubt that the organizers have some funds behind them, but as I have said all along, deep pockets alone will not be sufficient for a first-time promoter to buy a headline act.

Wish it was mine Terry! I only got a small piece of the pie. Fun when we're there but not often enough. Hey did you see the whales out front last week? Saw them jumping completely out of the water. What a splash when they landed.

Did they announce any artists? Is there another place or site that has info from that press conference? I had completely given up on this and actually hadn't even thought about it for a long time. I still don't believe it'll happen. As someone else mentioned the website still says nothing. They used to have a Facebook account but I don't see it but I'll dig around some more.

I was reading this and thinking, isn't she dead? Yep she is, boy that would be one heck of a smell from stage.

If they actually pull this off they might be able to bring back the dead !! Some would be grateful for that. I'm hoping for Buddy Holly myself.

Well, I thought I had seen everything regarding concert prices until I got a notice from LiveNation earlier this week for a pre-sale day on tickets to see the Eagles at Jobing.com arena in October, I believe. I clicked around on some decent floor seats. $1500 each. HOLY SCHMOLY!! My jaw hit the floor and my wallet jumped out of my back pocket and ran down the hallway screaming! They had some cheaper seats... @$750 each. Even the 3rd deck nose bleed seats at the very back of the arena were ridiculously priced.

Granted, they don't tour very often and this could be their last, but for that kind of money, I could go buy gold versions of every song they've ever recorded and still have change enough left to go stand on a corner in Winslow, Arizona.

I already blocked out the dates for my condo. NOT because I want to go, but the last 2 times BoomerFest supposedly had firm dates, all the rentals companies blocked out the rooms for those dates. The dates stayed blocked out until way after we all knew the event wasn't going to happen. I don't want those dates tied up by the rental company for some stupid event that is not going to happen.
