They're charging $39 at the Univ. of Buffalo but up to $100 in Hamilton (40 min away). I paid less than $100 to see Springsteen and around $85 to see Fleetwood Mac. Both of whom I would consider to be much bigger names. Sorry, but as much as I miss Newfoundland, I'm not paying $10 for Jam Jams and I'm definitely not paying that much to see Great Big Sea. However, I guess their marketing people know what different markets are willing to pay.

We should be at least as proud of Great Big Sea as Newfoundlanders as does England of Elton John. I support my own first.
