My comment was made in response to a line in an article about the Who being 
able to sellout football stadiums.  They obviously, w/their current level of 
promotion, can't achieve this based on sales so far.  I'm actually surprised 
more people aren't going to the show in Marysville, CA on July 4.  Fireworks 
have got to be on tap for that one, as well as Shoreline, and I can't think 
of a better way to spend July 4th.  Maybe people don't want to see a British 
band on the 4th, but that type of thinking sure is ludicrous.  I'm going to 
probably get stuck with full price seats when I could have gotten better for 
less $$.  I have 2 excellent seats for this show, sec 102, row 11, and will 
sell for considerably less than I paid if anyone is interested or knows 
anyone who is.  I paid $361 w/all charges included, and I will sell both for 
$180.
