Well, there’s a bunch of service charges.\u00c2\u00a0 Can’t beat the Ticketmaster fees, the promoter’s got to get some of its money back. You know Gene ain’t parting with any of his!<\/p>\n
I’ll give the man credit.\u00c2\u00a0 Gene was 2010 back in the nineties.\u00c2\u00a0 With the coffin, the convention, he was all about superserving the niche.\u00c2\u00a0 And that’s what the KISS Army is, a niche.<\/p>\n
One deserved hit single and a lame ballad by a band member you kicked out will only keep the hoi polloi interested for so long.\u00c2\u00a0 Or look at it this way, Gene Simmons is all over TV and still NO ONE wants his album.<\/p>\n
To be exact, 187,557.\u00c2\u00a0 That’s how many copies "Sonic Boom" has sold.\u00c2\u00a0 And it’s only that high because Wal-Mart bought so many and they’re still featured in the store.\u00c2\u00a0 But, to speak Mr. Simmons’ language, that’s BUPKES!\u00c2\u00a0 Isn’t this the guy who said he was going to teach Wal-Mart a lesson or two?\u00c2\u00a0 Seems they’re not listening.\u00c2\u00a0 The retailer’s low-price strategy, selling books for far under ten bucks, has got nothing to do with Gene’s high-priced strategy, like selling a bass for $5,000<\/a> with a meet and greet.<\/p>\n But those tickets are not too high-priced…<\/p>\n This was the e-mail:<\/p>\n Sunday, November 22 at 7:30 pm Free KISS concert ticket offer: Offer made subject to limited availability on a first-come, first-served basis.\u00c2\u00a0 Additional $5.40 order processing, $2.50 print at home, and $0.75 service charge will apply.\u00c2\u00a0 Limit: 8 tickets per customer.<\/p>\n\n
