Multiple camera angles, and AI could do it.

You don't see this type of behavior at Chick-Fil-A.

$100 is my price point. But a lot of factors depend on who the act is, the venue, if I think it will sell out, etc. Who the act is, that's easy to figure out. Is it someone that I definitely want to see? Or someone that I think I should go see, just because they're popular and I've never seen them before in concert? Is it a "final tour ever"? I've seen both Peter Frampton and the B-52's on their "final" tours, only to have them both tour again a few years later. Barenaked Ladies do their summer tour every year, and the only reason I go see them so often, is that it's the wife's favorite band. I would rather see them every 3-4 years, but going makes her happy, so we go. Side story about BNL, last summer they played here in Syracuse at the amphitheater, a facility that can hold 17,000 people between the pavilion and the lawn. They only sold about 3,000 tickets, so staff was letting anyone sit under the pavilion that wanted to. It was a mid-week concert, so I don't know if that affected attendance. Venue, if it's a huge venue and you need to pay more to get a good view of the stage, then I may pay more to get that view. If it's a smaller venue and easy to see no matter where you are, I'll tend to buy the cheapest/farthest away seat, which leads me into my next point. Sell outs. If I don't think an artist will sell out, I'll buy the cheapest seat, and then the day of the concert, look on TM and see what areas closer have the most open seats, and go sit there instead. It helps if you know the layout so you don't need an ushers help to find a seat, because they will want to see your ticket. Instead, just walk right past them and if they say anything, just say you know where your seat is. What I do not do is try to get into the first/closest sections to the stage. I feel those ushers are going to be more vigilant about looking at your ticket to make sure you belong. I went 10 out of the 13 days this summer and saw at least one concert each day. I have a lifetime pass so admittance was free, and I park at the mall to take the shuttle over, only $2 round trip.

How about flying into Buffalo instead of Toronto? -
How did your actions yesterday help the Bills lose? Something you ate? Did you change your shirt at halftime? Kick that annoying friend/relative out of the house? Start a thread after the last loss that I would normally do, but you were impatient? I’ll start… I'm blaming @Miyagi-Do Karate for this one, he was a little impatient and started his thread because he couldn't wait a day for me to start mine. After a win, I will start it the day after. When there's a loss, I will wait a day to let everyone get their anger out before starting what is supposed to be a fun, lighthearted thread. But now Miyagi has pushed me to start a loss thread earlier. So, if the Bills also lose the Bye Week, you can blame Miyagi for throwing the whole routine out of whack.

Week 6 results Pick'em The Eagles, Cowboys, Lions, Bills, and Redskins Commanders hurt a lot of people this week. Six people, Jamie Colorado, Realist, lewnybills, Tatanka, Taro T, and Sarah's Lousy Picks, had the best picks with 11 correct. The current leader with 59 total points is olddie. Starting to see some separation in the Top 10, with 3 points separating #1 from #10. With only a third of the season played so far, it can change alot. Survivor Just 6 people knocked out this week, mostly due to the Eagles. If Green Bay had lost, it could have been a blood bath with 21 picking them to win. 5 people picked the Eagles, 1 picked the Bills. 25 people remain. Most popular winning pick was Green Bay by 21 people Least popular winning pick was the Los Angeles Rams and Denver with one person each picking them.

Do not, under any circumstances, take a bus across the border if you don't have to. I've done it twice, and you're at the mercy of how many buses are ahead of you, and the other people on your bus. Both times, it was at least an hour, because of waiting for busses ahead of us, and people on our bus being stupid and getting pulled in for extra questioning. The bus driver, unfortunately, has to wait for them to be done in customs. -
I've been on quite a few stadium tours at Buffalo. I still am amazed walking out onto the field and looking up at the stands, even if they're empty, and thinking about what it must be like for a player on game day.
