anyone else mad that the 930 cares more about money than

[marvin_mooney]

i mean, since the baltimore show at fletchers was cancelled, and since i would bet that 80% of people are still snowbound due to secondary and tertiary roads being as yet unplowed, and maryland still in a state of emergency, it seems shitty that the club basically says "well, come or lose your money, we don't care" the reason for the show still being on is that the guy i spoke to said that the band had made it in from philly. Yea, that's a hard drive pal, an hour and a half on a FEDERAL SNOW EMERGENCY road, no doubt plowed many times over. most of us live off of side streets and such, getting there is not an option for us. i feel very angry about being left out to dry by the club<P>p.s. bet this is censored

this is about the ladytron show by the way. people that can get there, enjoy it, wish the club wasn't so money hungry they want people to risk their lives

you've got a point, but the club has a point too. and in this case, with the band already in the area, it made sense to hold the show. however, i can see your frustration. i read in the paper the mci center did the same thing last night, until they finally relented and offered those that couldn't make the disney on ice show (hey, i wasn't going, i read it in the paper) a refund or tickets to the upcoming circus instead.

i had forgotten that. but its true, most of the profits are from beverage sales. <P> <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Arial, Veranda">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Ikarus:<BR><B> from what i understand, the club usually makes its money from alcohol.  the band gets the ticket sales.  so if no customers show to buy booze, the band gets paid and the club loses money owing to extreme overhead (staff, electricity, etc).</B><HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>

hey ikarus,<P>keep bending over and taking from the 930.<P>i don't care where the club makes it's money from. i just think it's shitty that they would cancel a show at one club, and not another, especially since maryland is STILL IN A STATE OF EMERGENCY.<P>you are the idiot my friend

[Got Haggis?]

930 club is in DC  <P>

[marvin_mooney]

quick geography lesson<P>DC IS DIRECTLY CONNECTED WITH MARYLAND<P><BR>and <BR>LOTS OF PEOPLE THAT WOULD HAVE GONE TO THE SHOW ARE FROM MARYLAND

[markie]

If you cant go to a show for any reason that is your loss.<P>If they cancelled the show I imagine many others would be disappointed and complain.<P>Then again thinking of others isnt a big deal around here is it.<P>Oh and before a business can acheive any of its goals it needs to make money........

Where in Maryland are you.  Not near a metro station?  The roads aren't that bad, I just drove in to work.  The state of emergency was for sunday not monday (well 4am it was up).  Dig out (took me 4 hours but it was worth it) and go.

all this bitching about a $15 ticket?

[Herr Professor Doktor Doom]

Why should the DC patrons of a DC club suffer a cancelled show just because Marylanders are too lazy-assed to get out of their snowbound SUVs and walk to the show?   <P> <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Arial, Veranda">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by marvin_mooney:<BR><B>quick geography lesson<P>DC IS DIRECTLY CONNECTED WITH MARYLAND<P><BR>and <BR>LOTS OF PEOPLE THAT WOULD HAVE GONE TO THE SHOW ARE FROM MARYLAND</B><HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>

no need to shout.  good to see aol still has customers these days though.<P>this post was just eerily reminiscent of a conversation yesterday with thatguy and fluffy.  if the show goes on and some people can't make it, the 930 gets badmouthed.  if the show is postponed and some people can't get to the make-up date or a refund, the club gest badmouthed.  i suppose the fairest thing to do is cancel the show and give everyone a refund, but even though its 'fair', everyone loses.  <P>bands like to play, the 930 likes to host a show, but ya know, the best laid plans of mice and men...botton line is that shit happens.  sometimes you gotta deal with it.
