I propose that the city of Duluth only issue event licenses under the condition that tickets must be purchasable locally. For example, do I really have to pay Ticketmaster $11.37 in handling fees for a $35 concert ticket at Bayfront Festival Park this summer? A 32 percent markup paid to a California company? I would much rather pay any ticket markup to a local record store or nonprofit. Or, directly to the city for that matter. Anything to keep the money in our community, not exporting it to a corporation in California. Maybe I am missing something?
“Are you thirsty” for a performance by In the Heart of the Beast (HOTB)?

The Beehive Collective is a group of artists and storytellers from Maine who make collaborative, narrative graphics that focus on human rights, environmental issues and social justice. Go see ’em at UMD this Thursday — they’re traveling the Midwest as part of a national tour. They do great work and you’ll learn a lot.
