I guess I look at bands like Hootie and their playing of casinos etc. a little differently. My guess is that they have a shitload of money from their early success, and they're just playing wherever they can because that's what they like to do. I have more respect for that over, for example, Tom Petty charging a $75 minimum (after Ticketmaster fees) ticket price any day of the week.

redcat, i can see that. and they really are a good live show, so the fact that they are playing anywhere is good news.
but at the same time, i doubt huge venues are looking to book them anymore, which was my original point.

Additionally where on earth did you find a $75 minimum for Petty out of curiosity. I looked, even did a search with some other forums and I can't find it.
Vegas tickets were over $100 for "obstructed view" tickets.
