i wouldn't mind revolting cocks & MSP - those two shows alone would pay for the pass. anything after that would be gravy.
There's a sucker born everyday....
This is exactly what they want with this promotion. They want to talk you into buying it under the guise of "well, I wasn't going to see those two shows, but for $50 with the possibility of seeing more shows, what the hell?" And that's how they get you.
i don't see how that makes anyone a sucker. i wouldn't pay $30 for a ticket to see those acts, but would consider it for $10 or less. with a passport, i'd probably see more than 5 shows between now and the end of the year thus driving down my cost-per-show even more. i would only see certain bands under the condition that they're cheaper. this passport would meet that condition.
i go to a lot of shows. some i will attend no matter what, while for others, the price plays in to my decision. the passport would remove that obstacle.
the alternative - that i keep my $50, and not see 5-10 additional shows - isn't my preference. luckily, this is all academic
The other problem I see with this is that it looks like they bump you when a show sells out.
So you buy it thinking "I'll just use it to see these 3 bands...it's worth the $". Then 2 of those shows sell out a week before the show date. You're screwed.
nope, no bumping. once a show is available for passport holders and you reserve a spot, you're guaranteed entry.
the popular shows are going to sell out before any spots are made available for passport holders, but most of shows that i see at the club aren't sold out so a passport like this would work for me.
