Eric Jones, marketing director at the Alltel Center, said the $10 ticket price is a great value.
“It’s four hours of music and four bands, I’m really excited about it. I’m looking forward to seeing all those guys together.”
Steiner said the low ticket price won’t bring a big pay day.
“We didn’t want people bummed about the ticket price. In this economy we wanted to give them a break. Hopefully we’ll break even when we’re done.”
Jones said booking shows at the Alltel Center for next year has been affected by the economy.
“Promoters and bands are a lot more cautious at this point. People are taking a wait and see. Shows are suffering all over the country,” Jones said.
