I don't know if I'd go that far...say the avg ticket is $20 and they get 30k people(which I'm guessing is low?)...even if ticketmaster sucks up $5 of that per ticket it's still $450k per show...they make 30 stops and that's 13.5 mil
ozzfest '07 will be free!

Exactly.... so if they lose the ticket sales, does that mean you get lesser bands playing?
I can't go to concerts any more. It reminds me too much of work( used to be Event security) and I can never seem to relax enough to enjoy the show.
all I was saying is that the money from the gate is nothing to sneeze at...merchandise, concessions, etc is the cash cow though

I like the AB in the GB
Some of the bands don't get dick.
From Wikipedia:
Of course when you have Sharon Osbourne, that self absorbed egomaniac, pulling the power out why the fuck would you want ot go anyways.
I've been to Ozzfest 1998 in Camden, NJ and to Ozzfest 2006 in Virginia Beach, VA. Both were good events. My friend paid for my ticket last year. I went with a few of his friends. Had a great time. Seating is great after standing in the hot sun all day at the 2nd stage.
I don't drink, but there was plenty of booze to go around. There were quite a few corporate sponsors there, such as Trojan condoms, Skoal dip (yuck), and a couple others I am probably forgetting.
As for the bands, most were pretty good. I should probably upload my pictures of 2006 to my gallery.
Edit: as for 2007, I'm curious to see what bands will be playing. If it does pan out, I'll probably drive down to Virginia again and go with my friend down there.
Edit2: I think tickets for general seating were $60. That includes the rest of the place (2nd stage, etc). Mosh pit tickets were like $90 or something. That's a bit much just to see like 6 bands on the main stage. One cool booth at this year's show was an exhibit of guitars customized by various musicians to honor Dimebag Darrell (ex-Pantera guitarist that was murdered on stage at a show a couple years back). Some really neat designs the musicians came up with that lived up to the spirit of Dimebag.

After the way Sharon screwed over Bob Daisley and Lee Kerslake. The bitch can go fuck herself.
Dimebag Darrell was my christmas tree this year

I went to Ozzfest years ago. Unfortunately we got kicked out at some point because my boyfriend and I got into a fight. It was an allright time. Ozzy really puts his all into his performances, and he kicks ass even for an old guy. It's like a light comes on in him when he's on stage. He doesn't act anything like the slurring idiot you see on that awful reality show of his. I don't think I'd go again. Concerts are really boring to me these days. It's gotta be something really special to get me there.

As much as I like free stuff, there's no way that I'd go. All those years at all those Lollapaloozas taught me what "fests" are like. You add in the free factor and it's downhill from there. I do think it is awesome that they are doin' it. Though, they will make up for it with $35 tshirts and $10 bottles of water.
Ozzfest 2006, you were allowed to bring in your own water and food. Only plastic bottles (supposedly no caps on the bottles too) in a small backpack or bag. I wish I had done that. Coulda frozen some bottled water night before and brought it with me. Food wasn't that bad, in price or taste.
