Not Sold Out Yet

Edgefest 2004

Back in March I bitched openly about the crappy Edgefest 2004 line up.  You may recall I exchanged emails with Alan Cross in which he stated, and I quote, "If we manage to sell out the show this week (which is something we think we'll do), we'll have enough cash to maybe do something else this summer".  Alan was justifying the inclusion of Good Charlotte as headliners.  It's all about moving units, apparently.

All week long I've been hearing radio advertisements for Edgefest 2004.  Tickets are still available, it seems.  Not only did they not sell out that week in late March, but it's almost May and they still haven't sold out.  I wonder why?

Edgefest 2004 hasn't sold as well as Alan Cross hoped because it's being headlined by Good Charlotte.  The people who listen to CFNY Edge 102 and the people who would be interested in the Edgefest franchise don't want to spend their hard earned money to sit around all afternoon when the closing band is Good Charlotte.  What a joke.  I hope CFNY Edge 102 takes a bath on this one.  It serves them right.
