RE: Lollapalooza?

Incredible: $775 is the entrance fee to the festival. A good amount of money. I know why you want to rename it only for rich people when the ideal is for all social classes to be able to enjoy good music. One question: Does that festival generate some extra money for the city of Chicago by holding it there?

They rent the park out and they get a cut of the ticket sales so that is close to $10 million. They also collect tax on the tickets for another $7 million or so. And then there are all of the hotel rooms rented, meals bought, etc. So Chicago definitely makes a lot of money on this. But I know they also spend a lot making sure the people are safe.
