		<description>Big deal! 

A tally of button sales is needed.

I thought it was 65 thousand dollars pre-orders when I did the math, with my computer off, not 60,000 pre-orders but let&#039;s look at some theoretical totals.

1. 1 ticket + 1 pass is $20. Divide that number into $65000 that&#039;s only 3,250* people.

2. Two people. $10 dollars in buttons plus 4 tickets to two shows. Without a fohty pass that&#039;s 70 dollars or 929* people.

Speaking of passes, I think the most popular is the six pack. That&#039;s $75 or 867* people with no sharing. Or even less when more people buy buttons.

*I rounded those people figures up.

So far I&#039;ve bought one button with cash so I am not counted as anything. I&#039;m seeing two shows next week and I don&#039;t know how I&#039;m paying for them yet.

Some how some way a button count has to be maintained or what&#039;s the motivation for a sponsor to participate when only a small group of people buy lots of tickets.</description>
