Are tickets tax deductible - since it is a charity? (Urban Farming is 501c3)

Apparently, it is already sold out. I tried to purchase both 2 and 1 general admission tickets and was shown the "We were not able to find that many tickets in that section." message.

Oh well... I'll just have to wait for an affordable $200/ticket concert.

YOu have to click the GA radial button. It is not sold out.

I know it's for charity but if I had an inkling as to what the setlist was gonna be, I'd be tempted to go.

I did 5 Musicology shows, and 2 Vegas. I have several bootleg London shows so I guess I won't be shelling a G for this. I hope all who can attend have a ball and that I am wrong and miss a kickass setlist.

I'll still donate something though.

Well, look at it this way, not to say I wouldn't love to be there, but chances are there will be mostly rich elite types who don't even know his music and will be more interested in who else is there. The only fans will likely be the four who won here and a few others who have the cash to be able to attend. I hope they are all together and right in front so as not to distract the social climbers who will be in attendance.
