Phish Concert Tickets - Apparently Recession Proof

Have you even heard of the jam band Phish? Depends on when and where you went to college probably. Phish is a favorite of yuppie hippies who went to college in the 1990's. I will admit that I indulged in some Phish when I was in college at the University of Georgia in the 1990's. I even went to a Halloween Concert at the now extinct Omni in Atlanta. Oh and that was an experience, I think I was in the less than 5% in attendance who did use some sort of mind altering substance that evening. People were dressed in all kinds of crazy costumes as the covered the Talking Heads.

Anyways, the point of this story is not to reminisce about the good ole college days. Phish just started a reunion tour and I'm amazed at the price of the tickets and the level of excitement for a bunch of old hippies getting together to play some goofy music.  

This week, Phish launched its reunion tour with a three-night run in Hampton, Va., before houses that were filled to capacity. The last of these shows takes place tonight, after which the band will break to work on solo projects including the fulfillment of a commission Anastasio received to perform his classical piece "Time Turns Elastic" with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra before reconvening in June for the first stage of its summer bacchanal.

I heard from some old fraternity brothers that the price of tickets for the shows were somewhere in the neighborhood of $1500-$6000. I just don't get it; however, I guess if they pulled money out of their 401k's months ago to buy tickets at least they got something of value. Otherwise they would have lost value and not gotten a chance to relive the glory years.

Home based business (4.00 / 1)
Well I guess that is the true nature of all people we tend to divert our problems and one of this is by watching our favorite band singers. It makes us feel relieve even in times of recession whenever we see those band singers. In relation to recession, I know a good source of income that will truly help us, and that is home based business. One of the things you can do with a home business is to market a website or product. You can farm out work for content to college kids, or other affiliates for cheap.  If you do it right, a home business can really pay off.  It could be well worth a cash advance to start a home based business. So I hope you can try this business because in times of hard times the only person that can help you is you yourself.
