Didn't you get the memo? 1. Put out a string of shitty albums trading on past glory. 2. Charge delusional fans a bunch of money to bask in the presence of greatness. 3. ??? 4. Profit!

It should be noted as well that the band too, is making a huge sacrifice, in that they too need to buy seats for their friends, or have their friends buy the seats.....Dream Theater HAS NEVER been motivated by money and this case is no different...it is all about delivering the greatest DT Live experience possible to the fans.

I find it silly that the band would not make any money from this premium stuff, why tour?? Touring is one of the only surefire ways for a band to make money. Hell, they should've thought of this sooner since some of you guys would give your first child to see DT play. -The Doc -- -------------- http://www.zeromemory.com - metal for your ears. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 21 Jan 2004 18:04:08 -0500 From: Mike Shetzer To: ytsejam@torchsong.com Subject: Re: DT sells out to the richie riches Message-ID: <001601c3e072$e01c23e0$9b00a8c0@mizz> --Boundary_(ID_o77E2kkUC/vsIdqYOjVkKA) Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Free photo with dream theater, meeting dream theater and t shirts? which show was this at? :S ----- Original Message ----- From: email_address_removed To: Multiple recipients of list Sent: Wednesday, January 21, 2004 7:53 AM Subject: Re: DT sells out to the richie riches --part1_85.38a3edb.2d3fce1e_boundary Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" do they have some sort of brown package? you know, for the dedicated fans like me that don't have shit in their bank accounts. i hope this is a joke because i personally think it's f*cked up to be charging for things they did for free on the last tour. jacko --part1_85.38a3edb.2d3fce1e_boundary ---YTSEJAM FILTER: Rest of message skipped because of attachment --Boundary_(ID_o77E2kkUC/vsIdqYOjVkKA) ---YTSEJAM FILTER: Rest of message skipped because of attachment ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 21 Jan 2004 15:17:30 -0800 (PST) From: Rick Audet To: Multiple recipients of list Subject: Re: DT sells out to the richie riches Message-ID: It's on the website: http://dreamtheater.net/tourdates.php#premium On Wed, 21 Jan 2004, Mike Shetzer wrote: > > Free photo with dream theater, meeting dream theater and t shirts? which > show was this at? :S > ----- Original Message ----- > From: email_address_removed > Subject: Re: DT sells out to the richie riches > > do they have some sort of brown package? you know, for the dedicated fans > like me that don't have shit in their bank accounts. > i hope this is a joke because i personally think it's f*cked up to be > charging for things they did for free on the last tour. > jacko ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 21 Jan 2004 17:32:03 -0600 (CST) From: Brian Hayden To: Multiple recipients of list Subject: Re: DT sells out to the richie riches Message-ID: > Free photo with dream theater, meeting dream theater and t shirts? which > show was this at? :S Other than the (already overpriced) t-shirt... they've spent time with the crowd after every show I've ever seen, autographs and photos being a normal part of it. I always thought it was cool that they did that, without charging for it like KISS would. sigh. ------------------------------ End of YTSEJAM Digest 6773 ************************** === Contributions to ytsejam: ytsejam@torchsong.com === === Send requests to: ytsejam-request@torchsong.com === === More information at: http://www.dreamt.org/local/ytsejam.php === === Brought by the ghost of ytsejam@arastar.coms past === === Reach the owner of this list at: ytsejam-owner@torchsong.com ===
