i've said it a million times, but i will stress again--as many have already said in this thread--that the pay-to-play policy is absolutely ridiculous.

that whole "pay to play can WORK FOR U" post is just propaganda to make it seem like a get rich quick scheme. you forgot to add that if you don't sell enough tickets, you will either not play or have to put up a lot of money that could have been used for something more worthwhile.

there is nothing you can say to oppose this argument that can be justified. you could say "well if you can't sell the tickets then you might not be good enough." OR you could think of the REAL reason: there are many, many people against pay to play (as we've seen in this thread and many others), there are many people who are not old enough to enter these shows that would be willing to pay, and there are also many, many, many people who would go to the show, but won't really make it definite until the last minute.

think of it this way: would you spend $15 or more on an event that you may have to skip out on at last minute because you or a loved one is in need of medical care or your car breaks down? sure, $15 may not be much to some, but most people have so many bills and have to put gas in their car, buy food, etc. that $15 is not very expendable. there are many other aspects to factor in, but those would be the bulk of it.
