raitt and switch

smokin joe

judging by the angry crowd at the ticket table in the park wednesday night, i'm not the only one who was furious that celebrate brooklyn/livenation advertised lawn seats for the bonnie raitt-taj mahal show for $38 and when you got there changed it to $55.

(yes, i could have just gone home, but with a family in tow, an out of town guest, folding chairs and a picnic we'd schlepped from home, they pretty much had me.)

i'm writing a letter to bric (it's impossible to get a human being on the phone there) but am doubtful it will do any good. wondering if anyone else has any thoughts, has gotten a response from them or has notified the attorney general or some such.

we're happy to support a good cause, and free, outdoor live music is definitely one in my book, but bait and switch is bait and switch.
