I was at the top price point of $35 but you know who pulled out the card anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terri Schehr Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 9 hours ago, Jeff Ream said: look, lets be honest....all age can't do Wednesday shows. and Saturday night for World Class is the main event, the show that puts 22k+ ##### in seats. Sure, i'd like to see all age get a better time slot, but world class is what draws th fans. All age couldn't even sell 2500 tickets the ast several years no matter where they held finals. just going to Indy year 1 isn't suddenly going to bring paying customers out in droves. We were there … Madison, Buffalo.. Hardly anyone would go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was talk of corps who have posted things on social media like, "we're in the BEST financial position we've ever been in" who had to actually go deep into their endowment and scholarship funds just to survive. Ok. Status quo is broken. 5 years to fix the current system & make it sustainable. What are you going to do? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Not directed at you and thanks for sharing... but this strikes me as cowardly of those who attended, given (1) the stakes and (2) the fact that suppressing information has not worked well for this activity throughout its history. It's also not how public nonprofits are supposed to work. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And cancer NEVER gets better by ignoring it. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also do not improve in darkness and silence. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
