The feeling was that people who wanted to go to Indy would go,whether there was a pay per view or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They priced it at $70 because they thought that would price out enough of the market that the number of subscribers wouldn't exceed the capabilities they were planning/paying for. They were...very wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dream Theater Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Will be at the Rancho Cucamonga, CA AMC if anyone wants to say hi. I'll be the tall creepy looking guy with a beard and a SCV hat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Have driven to Vegas (two hours) since moving out here. So seeing that the Megaplex folks contracted with one of the St. George theaters to show the opener and tonight was great. Just got off the phone. As of 11:15MT, they have sold four tickets. Only 16 people showed up in June. I suggested to the manager in June that someone has to take the initiative to reach the band directors and press in Washington and Iron County. But nooooo, we know what we're doing. The generational perceived superiority complex many have out here is extremely misguided. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRacer Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 (edited) I am on a flight now from Hilo on the Big Island to Honolulu (253 miles, 53 minutes) as the Dole Regency in Honolulu is the only theater in the state showing the cinecast. Our audience is a mix of bandos, current MM parents, and alums from SCV, Blue Stars, Mandarins, & late 80’s Madison. One cinecast stalwart is an ‘81 SCV alum from North Shore. Off we go!

OldSnareDrummer Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Ok, heading out to get home, change, go out to dinner and then the Biggest, Loudest, Livest. All of Kevin's fabulous play by play of prelims has my appetite built up for a juicy steak and all the drum corps I can handle. Cheers to all, enjoy the show!
