I don’t know, if you look at how many people paid to get in two years ago and compare that with the 70-something thousand claimed for 2010 and then factor in the recent price drop for one-day tickets, you might conclude that Outside Lands took in a little less than half the revenue this year compared with 2008.
Just saying.
But it’s nice to know that San Francisco was guaranteed a million dollars or so for renting out the land.
Maybe 2011′s effort will reverse the trend …
