I am fully of my own opinion on this one, but I just want to see the response it get's from Seattle kids.
Due to overwhelming concern, questions and rumours the E.T. Brothers have issued the following statement:
The permit process has just been passed months ago and working with the city is very difficult at this point and very expensive. The E.T. Brothers have the best reputation in town and pride themselves in that. Anyone paying attention in the scene and that wants to be the least bit educated will realize that our last 5 shows have been soldout therefore indicating that we must be doing something right. we are the hardest working promoters in town and by the 5 sold out shows in a row it would be apparent that people know that we don't mess around and they know that they will always get there money's worth when entering into our shows. Everything on the flyer is there and operating as planned and as stated on the flyer. We charge this much because we actually give you all that is advertised always, and both the last Frostee and the first one reset standards of what a party should be on value, new talent and new ideas. This year it will be pushed even further. Guaranteed. We are selling tickets on the day of rather then the door to avoid extra confusion that has occured in the past with other shows, where people that had tickets could not even get in. We refuse to let that happen and not knowing our capacity for such a long time, we finally have it and can sell that amount to ensure the mistakes of the past are not repeated. Therefore ensuring that everyone with a ticket that has supported us will be guaranteed entry. We do not mess around, with our customers. Reputation is the most important thing and as the scene grows people come and go, but stop to look and see who has been around through it all and is still pushin' things to the next level always. Then decide who is in it for the realness. If we don't sell tickets at the door then we loose so many problems. Wev'e been fighting for the scene for years and most people don't even think twice about it. Well think about the people who pushed so you can dance every weekend to good music in a non corporate atmosphere etc. Then decide if things are fair. These are professionally run events and 5 mos. of planning and organizing has gone into this so you can be safe when you enter and have proper facilities and an atmosphere for fun. This is not a cracker jack show thrown in a sketchy basement on Hastings St. with dj nobody, 1-7, no security and a ghetto blaster for sound. These things cost $, so once again its your choice.
Thanks deeply from the E.T. Brothers. www.etbros.com (http://www.etbros.com)
a few notes: tix "sold out" two weeks ago, yet a batch came on the market last week above the advertised price. They will also be charging $70 (cdn= $45 american) at the door.
the headliners: Sharp Boys, Mac Zimms and Cziolek
venue: the Plaza of Nations, with a capacity of at least 5000, I think, they won't release that information.
that's about all I can think of. I want to see what you think.
