To build upon Kurt's question in the Jazz Festival thread, what would you really be willing to pay for the following scenario:

One day full day of music at a large outdoor local venue

4-6 local/regional bands with 1-2 headliners (the caliber of Bonnie Raitt or Willie Nelson - just an example)

Food & beverage vendors (diverse selection)

100% of the proceeds to benefit a major charity

Although the performers are not exactly my kind of music the amount I voted on is what I would pay for that type of music. If it was more along the lines of the music I REALLY enjoy that amount would go up alot.

I voted $75, but the amount would vary based on the organization -- I'd pay much more for a benefit for some organizations, much less for others.

Which Charity?

If I really liked the artist, I'd be willing to pay standard ticket prices ($50 - $100)...regardless of the charity. (i.e., even if it were to benefit George Costanza's "The Human Fund").

If I support the charity, I'd pay considerably more the nearer and dearer it was to my heart.

another idea, add local visual artists to the venue all under one tent, like a group showing, allow them to show/sell art and donate a % of sales to the charity.

I think you could get more festival goers into the stores by having art displayed in every Seaside Store, encouraging people to go inside stores, to which they typically don't frequent, or at least artists could set up outside of each store to help draw people in.

an all day event at seaside? I'm not sure I want to be at seaside all day - but I would attend for half day, but would pay up to $100 for the right music/bands - benefit or no benefit. and if its is a benefit - I am not choosey about who to support in a funn event that I want to attend. actually, I would prefer just an evening with a few bands. to me, seaside is not big enough to want to stay all day to do anything. love it in smaller doses though. I do love seaside concerts under the stars. they are funn at gulf place and baytowne as well.

I would attend an all day festival at Eden or a place like that - away from all the hustle and bustle of cars, stores and restaurants, on blankets under the live oaks. but I don't know if that is an option these days.

The scenario did not say Seaside, only a large, outdoor venue. :biggrin: ;-)

Outdoor music event

I'd be willing to pay/support around 50 to 100 bucks! Depending on the musical types..
