Bands performing at music festivals and similar venues are feeling the pinch with rising gas prices - simply getting themselves and their equipment to the venue is becoming out of reach. Will your ticket price go up accordingly?

mobility of small and mid-level acts, causing attendance drops at some festivals and reducing the amount of disposable money
fans have to spend while they're at the shows.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.cmt.com/news/country-music/1590574/missing-the-bus-high-gas-prices-cause-many-acts-to-fly-or-stay-home.jhtml"><DIV>Case

any kind of a hard drive -- like we'll fly them into an airport and they'll drive to three dates in rental vans -- the gas
bills are just extraordinary.
