I NEVER PAY TO GO TO A CONCERT I JUST WATCH FOR FREE ON T.V.
i am confused why it took so long for ppl, not y'all of course, to figga out we r in a damn recession. entertainers, atheletes, the gub-ment, car dealers, clothing stores, ain't nobody spending ridiculous prices for nothing. i gotta eat and buy gas. so doin alla that extra, nuh-uhn....not right now. u rich ppl might not get richer til we turn this economy around.
o, and i am sure that it will be a good show.
It used to be called Lakewood Amphitheatre..It's called Hi-Fi Buys Amphitheatre..Just in case you want to go to the show and you riding around going "I can't find Lakewood Amphitheatre!
OoOoOo I HOPE THEY PERFORM EBONY N IVORY

Time to trying to sell out stadiums and start doing small person venues; either than or get some more big names to so the buyer can get more bang for their buck.

OOPS
*Time to stop trying" ^^
I paid $39.75 (with fees) for the last 10 rows (We're in row 1 of 10) when she comes to the Bay Area next Saturday (Concord, Ca). I will see teh same show everyone else will see who spent $119 plus fees! I spent $175/ticket to see her and Jay Z. It was a GREAT concert but I refuse to spend that kind of dough, EVER!
yes, in these times, it's the perfect time for "intimate" settings when it comes to these artists.
Did anyone else notice how snitch massacred robin thicke's name? lol
it's too cold to be at HiFi buys Amphitheatre anyways.. I'll listen to some mp3s in the privacy of my own home, thanks.
i'm agreeing with quesha. i don't even have a job right now, so even if i did run into a few dollars, paying $75 for concert tickets is not in the cards for me. bills come first. i feel bad when an artists that i like drops a cd and i can't support it because that $15has to go buying food. i wish mary and robin the best, but the fact is, a lot of people just don't have it to spend. in my balling days i preferred smaller venues like the Fox Theater and Apache Cafe anywy.
wow i guess times IS hard. dang.
Yeah sorry, times are too tough to pay to stand and watch someone perform from a mile away. Fuck that, I need to eat out here.
when one employer lays off 450 folks and another lays off 500 plus people, i dont think they are thinking about buying concert tickets. i know if i was in their place i wouldnt.
TO SEE MARY YEA ID PROLLY PAY BUT ROBIN NAW DUDE IS HELLA WEAK

They need to be finding out how a sista can get some gas...
Who's left out here that can still pull the big audiences/ big bucks?
The black equivalent of 'High School Musical', aka Michael J & R Kelly?
Sorta off topic but... what's the most you would pay for a Beyondsense show?
jesus could be in concert with muhammad and buddha and they could do a caged deathmatch and i STILL couldn't afford to come. $20 is the max i could pay.

Detroit been in a recession, yall niggas lucky.
@bay area- are you foreal 175.00? Did they at least have a nice set? I mean cause neither of them dance.
LOL@12:50- I would pay no more than 75 and thats when the economy is decent. I would pay that much to see Kayne too.
@younglooch- You know they saying that one of the automakers will most def go down beucause of the stockmarket hopla. One analyst predicted general motors.
Lol...i havent bought a real cd since.....lil waynes the carter 1 so....and come to think of it i didnt even buy that somebody bought it for me.I download illegally like a muthafucka.
@Chic Noir. It don't matter anymore. This shit is not just the US. The world is goin through this. This shit is a depression. Detroit was in a recession 3 years ago.

im not that bad off, but i am looking for my student loan to come anyday............I need to be some new winter coats....
I went to the Jazz festival in Cinn to go somewhere coupled up,we paid a yard a piece to see Patti almost fall out do to her sugar level, I think Ill wait before I go see a performance unless its entertaining like Prince.......
^^^^
IN SOME NEW WINTER COATS!!!!!
SORRY FOR THE TYPO
REPENT!!!!!
@Halile- Hang on to as much of that student loan as you can. Cause they may put a freeze on money for next semester.
@Looch-Where are GMs cars being produced now?
nice pic wali.
they canceled the show in Baltimore. said it was due to a scheduling conflict. but i think its because they didnt sell tix. they advertised for it everywhere and they NEVER have to advertise for mary or robin, the shit sells out. i paid 150 to see mary and jay i wanted to see her and robin but i didnt buy those tickets. and i guess nobody else did. fools gotta eat.
chic noir, i never let my right hand know what my left hand is doing, i sit on my money,and my boo handles the expenses, im just a poor college girl (wink,wink)
i saw how they did that to the students at private schools, we may have to start getting our grants and loans from churches and ophrah.......
I had a professor who said in a round about way that if the economy doesn't improve HBCU's will suffer because a lot depend on the student loan money. And I noticed that white colleges are depending on Alumni support and endowments to cover school and not use loans.
REPENT!!!! MARY J GIRL YOU TRIPPIN ALL THESE YEARS IT TOOK TO GET YOU OUT THE RED AND OUT THE HOLE YOU GOT YOUR MONEY.INSTEAD OF YOU HELPING LIL KIM YOU PUT YOUR NAME OUT THERE TO HELP ROBIN AND HIS DADDY GOT MONEY YOU LETTING US DOWN MARY HELP THOSE THAT NEED THE HELP NOT THOSE WHO MERELY WANT TO USE YOU MARY WHEN WILL YOU LEARN.REPENT!!!!
