I got an idea, next election we arrange some phony concert like this one on some isolated island and charge them some exorbitant fee. We keep them there so they don't vote and turn the money over to the (TEA) candidate of our choice. We actually feed them though, we advertise "earth friendly" and "Vegan"  meals like tofu burgers and pine nuts. Anything to sucker them in.

One happy customer has filed a $100 million fraud lawsuit against the organizers. Expect more as wounded pride meets litigation's might.

I saw the 24 year old kid that organized it on one of the many Twitter pages. Looks like your typical spoiled brat with daddy connections, and no business sense of his own, and nowhere old enough to have done one of the successfully in the past.
In the OP his name is mentioned, a quick search will pull up one of many pix of the kid, you know how they love Faceplant attention. "Notice Me, Notice Me!!!!"...

Few lawyers will touch this. Most understand you do not shake money trees that have no money.

Yep, what do they plan on doing, putting a hold on daddy's allowance he gets each month?

A conservative isn't going to spend 12,000 dollars on a concert they can see for 100. A conservative isn't going to spend that kind of money and fly to an island site unseen. And conservatives certainly won't pay 250,000 to see Bink-182.

This conservative would not even pay 20$ for a concert in my home town.     Yes I know, I Am Cheap.

Why even bother going to a concert where people are screaming louder than the event?
Last one I went to was a David Benois concert back in the 80s, couldn't hear the music over the idiots that thought clapping to the beat was a good idea.
Ushers finally asked them to leave, with only 20 minutes left in the show.
There went 12 bucks.

I have not been to a concert in my life.  I have been to about 20 Opera's over my live time.

Then, may I presume Puccini's Un Bel Di wrenches your heart?

That was the only one I ever paid for. I tried to get into the Beach Boys concert in 1963 at the Sacramento Memorial Auditorium for their first live album recording but it was sold out, standing outside I realized the crowd was louder than the band.
I really don't get the appeal of being smashed together, be it seating, or an outdoor event, people tend to be extremely inconsiderate at these venues.
My neighbor went to see Rush the band, she was sooo pissed because they kicked her out for being too noisy, told her to quit whistling and screaming, others were trying to listen to the music.
She couldn't get it, she said: "It's Rush for crying out loud, it's rock n roll!" I told her we're getting older and maybe people actually went there to relive memories, and your noise wasn't a part of it? Yep, stupid lib...
Yeah, I could handle an opera crowd a whole lot easier.

There's a major concert venue near my house.
It's an outdoor pavilion, so you can hear the music a few blocks away.
A few years ago, Journey was performing there,
and outside the place, these women in their 50s and 60s
were gyrating like they were 18.
I can't unsee that.

I'd pay $12,000 to see the original Who in concert since half the band is dead.

(*hums "Won't Be Fooled Again"*) How would you know it's the original dead guys?

For that money they'd best toss in gourmet meals, quality booze (labels mandatory), backstage passes, the after-concert party and jet travel/limo back home. And snacks.

About $5 in gas, if it's Purgatory, Michigan.
