Ticket Information

Tickets for most shows can be purchased at the venue box office with
no service charge or at a lower service charge than from Ticketmaster.
Tickets for many State Theater and Masquerade shows can be purchased
at Daddy Kool Vinyl in St. Pete (821-6250), Daddy Kool Records in
Sarasota, Music Exchange (784-9100) in Palm Harbor, or Sound Idea in Brandon.
Tickets for Jannus Landing shows can be purchased at Detroit Liquors
in St. Pete, or online at www.jannuslanding.net. Tickets for most
shows can be purchased at all Ticketmaster locations, but be ready to
fork over an arm and a leg in service charges; you can also buy them
at ticketmaster's website but - BE WARNED - you will pay EVEN MORE in
service charges than at an outlet. I suggest checking with the venue
to see where you can get tickets for the cheapest price. Also, some
bands provide cheaper tickets from their individual websites.
