I know I got kinda off the thread topic above, but since I already did, I figure I'll follow up.
I was just in Johnny Go's on High St. They have stacks of free tix for both Dick Dale and the Wailers. I believe both shows are on the 15th. Wonder why Promowest competes with itself at all, let alone with 2 free shows on the same nite?
Also, they had a stack about 5 inches high (!!!) of F R E E tix for that show at PromoWest Pavilion Saturday, May 17, 2003 at 5:00 PM Confirmed bands performing are: The Sun, X-Rated Cowboys, Watershed, The Honeys, The Townsmen, Thee Invaders & Hex On Wheels, T Condo and thestoryof. Engine House 13 special exhibit and poster sale. Seriously, there had to be 1,000 tickets for the show in the 'free box' next to the register. Sorry that I'll be out of town and missing that freebie. Johnny Go's always seems to have comp tix free for the taking.
Another cheap ticket thing I just heard about:
For the following shows, a limited number of $10 lawn tickets will be sold
at the Germain Amphitheater Box Office. There is a two ticket purchase limit per person and the offer is available only at the Germain Amphitheater Box Office. To receive the special, you must request the $10 Ticket Special prior to your transaction. Cash only, please. If a show is sold-out of the $10 tickets, it will be removed from this page.

At that price there's 3 or 4 of those I'll go to. Pisses me off that I was stuck in a huge traffic jam directly in front of Polaris (Germain) this very morning, but didn't know about this deal till right now. Doh!
