They need to send them all to an island and leave them to there. WHat are JUGGALO's or Juggallettes? How gay are a bunch of white kids that want to pretend they're black? Go to a town with real gangs and see how long you last? I’m glad they kept these whiggers out of town. They need to send them all to an island and leave them to there.

Looks like they’re claiming a ticket refund if you get certified mail sent in by the 19th – nothing like giving people a LITTLE time!

He needs to get out of the concert promoting business and stick to what he sucks at, spinning top 40 records! He has a hard enough time doing that job as it is.

Evidently the promoter said the money would be available now. Well, the money is not available (this is not the fault of CD world, they were just selling the tickets for the promoter). My son was told there will be a story on the Channel 3 news tonight regarding the promoter and this money problem. Evidently some people have been told to send their tickets to a post office box for a complete refund. That sounds like a reeeeealy bad idea IMO. Could be interesting...

And draw a LOT of people give me a break it was canceled a week before the show because of Horrible ticket sales you can go to Pollstar.com and see the BIG crowds this band draws! The average show they draw 600 people they are no better than a local bar band as far as bringing people in and the local bar bands are far superior to this wast of time. Wickid,

It would be nice if, in the future that might be a possibility. However, if you talk to any established promoter, they will tell you when projecting the saleability of an artist, the rule of thumb is to make your sales projections from within a 100 miles adius. And as has been stated in this thread several times, the sales from within that area for ICP was less than fifty... which is why the show was cancelled. From a purely business standpoint (and with absolutely no disrespect to ICP or their fans), they made a lot of noise and got their picture in the paper, but there is no tangible fan base here to speak of.

This thread is not about "me", it's about the topic at hand, which is discussing ways to help to bring more and higher quality entertainment to Idaho Falls. Comments directed toward ANY other topic are, by me anyway, sumarily dismissed. What type of music would YOU like to see perform here in Idaho Falls, and can yo thin kof anything we could do to increase attendance at local shows? DJ Reader…

I've never been on the production end, but I hauled around band equipment from age 14, and people thought it was all fun and games. It's just very hard work and long nights, not to mention all of the other drama that goes along with it. It is exhausting, and I don't miss it a bit. I definitely understand.

DJ in my opinion has a good mind and makes some very valid arguments. I've never met the guy (I'm guessing it's a guy), but although I may not agreem with him all the time, he sure makes some pretty good points. I love reading his thoughts. On the contrary, you seem to act like a bully in the 6th grade who likes to beat up on anyone who seems smarter than you are. You don't need to be like that. Try finding points of common interest and where you agree. You'll come across much better. Fubar, I completely disagree. DJ in my opinion has a good mind and makes some very valid arguments.
