 loads of artists do two shows in the same night, this is nothing new.  i'll bet tom jones does two shows most nights in vegas...
Kosmo......minor detail, am I demanding my money back? NO! I've already said it's no biggie, but I am disapointed in the club for
 
 a) being dishonest if they knew there was a second show all along.
 or
 b) changing the arrangement of the show after it sold out and they got their money from us.
 
 GGW, if you think performing on stage for an hour, especially the brass section, is not as pysically demanding as throwing a baseballs for a few minutes then taking a break while the other bloke does the same, you're mistaken.

I'll trust you on that.  You have much more experience blowing things for long periods of time.

 can anyone give me a review (positive or negative) of a previous instance of the two shows in one night?  of a real band, not from a (although awesome) movie?

 Seth, what gives? [/QB]
you're terminally unhappy?
 
 the real reason I decided to go ahead and let them do another show that night (it was their idea) was so I could see just how ridiculous a thread could get
 
 apparently it worked
 
 I will be happy to refund your money, by the way, if you can't go to the show without driving yourself nuts

If you worked for 6 hours would you not want twice the amount of money or more than for working for three?
 
 Loon X infinity

Would never happen, I'm on commission

 So they're doing two three hour shows are they?Doors open at 7:30, support band from 7:31 to 7:32, B&S from 7:32 till 10:32....shame the second lot will have to wait an extra two minutes before they let them in.

Don't know...I had to give my tickets up for that one too!!!  :mad:    (through no fault of the band or DAR)
 
 Maybe that's why this double-dipping fiasco is bothering me so much.
