I moved this here because it will hang around longer than in General Discussion, where it would be out of sight by the weekend. There are qualified people here, hope some of them are interested.

You won't pay the reviewer, but you expect them to put wear and tear on their cars to go to these concerts without some kind of compensation (i. e. gas money, dinner)? I don't think so. I've got better things to do.

Some people enjoy going to concerts.

Well, you've made your idea of some kind of compensation deliberately narrow, so as to ignore the following, e.g.:

What does a pair of tickets to the ASO cost? Could be $150 for good seats, right? That's $150 of value being given you. Attendance at the event, is the compensation.

But Karl, would I have to take the shrinkwrap off the free CD or free DVD by myself without any remuneration?   :o     ;D

I'm in driving distance of Dallas... I would like to take this up... but I have almost no experience with ballet and opera!  Poop!

I don't live in Atlanta but about 45 miles NE of it. I'm not sure if you've ever been to Atlanta or not, but it's a pain in the ass to go down there. I suppose I could take the train, but even that's a hassle.

Ho capito. The couple of times I've been in Atlanta, I was a guest, and my friends saw to it that I got where I needed to be.  I don't have direct experience of the hassle, but I have heard its rumor ; )
