Gene, this is a crap thing to do to your fans. I actually was thinking of going to the Anaheim show, but now I’m reconsidering it. You don’t need my ticket money, and I don’t need to see you.
I have never, and will never, pay to meet any musician or any celebrity. IMO, to pay does not make it “genuine”. Whatever happened to meeting musicians at Tower Records or similar stores? Whatever happened to meeting musicians at the venues? Now we have “meet and greets” and this Gene $immon$ nonsense. It’s ridiculous, particularly if the musician has a fat wallet.
I have met Willie Buchanon and Louie Kelcher (both San Diego Charger defensive greats), the band WASP, and Bobby Marks (drummer for Steeler). That’s the extent of my history of meeting people I consider “celebrities”…..and it didn’t cost me anything!
$ 125 per ticket for GA floor in Anaheim?….no thanks
