Ozzfest, the thunderous metal music festival that was held at Pizza Hut Park on Aug. 9 as a one-day, one-time destination event for 2008, recently announced that it grossed about $3.5 million. Let's see. Divide that by an approximate attendance figure -- let's go with 29,500 -- and that's just short of $119 a person. Sounds about right to me, considering that tickets started at about $80 and the lines in 95-degree heat at PHP's vendor booths were prodigious throughout the 13-hour event. That figure's no doubt bolstered by the $4.50 cost for a 20-ounce bottle of water at Ozzfest, which generally didn't allow attendees to bring in fluids of any sort. A number of folks were angered by that, believing that water should be free in such conditions since it's, you know, required to stay alive and all. But think about it: if water's given away or allowed in, that would negatively affect the sales of other beverages, too. Bottled water can be a weapon as well (that's the reason you don't get to keep the cap if you buy anything bottled at a concert). And it was available free to the brave folks in the pits. Seriously: conservative Frisco isn't progressive Austin, and Ozzfest isn't the Austin City Limits Music Festival (during which water is given away). Why would Ozzfest slap a dam on a perfect supply-and-demand-forged revenue stream? Comments (3) Leave comment
