No, for those of us who care about the actual play rather than the hip ephemera, tickets are for getting in.

I've been working on a system for my own bluegrass shows of free-to-enter, pay-for-a-ticket-if-you-want-to.

Not sure how it will go, but an interesting experiment I think.

Why not offer posters at the merch booth (or something more ticket-sized, I guess)? I always look forward to show posters. It helps foster a sense of community too, when you work with printers and a cadre of artists.

I think Derek Sivers [0] had something to say about this. He used to run CD-Baby, and IIRC was also a musician with some well known bands from back in the day. I've found his stuff about different ways of approaching live music very thoughtful
