Thanks Gov. Spitzer for Making It Impossible to Take Kids to Concerts!

Thanks to Governor Spitzer, average New Yorkers are going to have a very difficult time purchasing tickets to concerts. As a mom that takes her kids to age appropriate concerts like The Jonas Brothers, The Cheetah Girls and Barney...I'm upset.

There aren't many things that are affordable in NY. Fortunately, I live in upstate NY which makes it little more affordable for a family of 8. My sister lives in one of NYC's boroughs and she has a tough time making ends meet....and she works two jobs as a paralegal to support herself and two kids! Concerts are a small luxury that kids love. (Hey, it's cheaper than skiing.) Taking them to a concert for one of their favorite shows (like Dora or Barney) is an experience they remember for a lifetime. I still remember going to see the Rockettes at the Christmas Spectacular as a young child. Heck, I still remember my first Menudo concert!

Thanks to Spitzer, those that are financially advantaged will be able to snatch up tickets to any venue. Let's be for real...how many average Joes will be able to afford a couple of thousand dollars for a concert ticket. I guess we can say good bye to the circus in 2008!

Here's the full story of Governor Spitzer's conscience decision to make New Yorkers travel out of state for concerts. This can't be good for the NY concert halls.

First New York City is feeling the effects of the writer's strike, now this! How are you going to fill up the concert halls when the average Joe can't afford to buy a ticket? Makes you think if he really thought this one through. Geez, I wonder if all the consequences that stem from this legislation will be worth the $40,000. contribution ticket brokers made to his campaign?
