I KNEW there was a reason I liked you, Rhiannon.

Andrew...how are the ticket sales, if you don't mind me asking?

[Andrew]

Andrew...how are the ticket sales, if you don't mind me asking?

Average. Still haven't made break even yet. That's certainly a stress.

[Don Wishon]

How many more tickets (approximately) do you need to "break even"? I, like many on the site, thought this would sell out. We still have some time and my hopes are for the best.

Merchandise sales and the raffles should help.

[Liam]

Andrew...how are the ticket sales, if you don't mind me asking?

Average. Still haven't made break even yet. That's certainly a stress.

Sorry for the stress, bro...but don't worry....the Notre Dame kids will need something to do that day 'cause it's an away game for the Irish. It'll be late sales...but they'll come. Try not to stress too much.

[WalrusOct9]

Sorry bro. I'll be there though, for better or worse.


You know...if you could get Paul Gilbert and Billy Sheehan to show up, i'll bet there'd be no problems selling the rest. You know, the same day Chinese Democracy comes out.
