WPTS GIVING AWAY METRIC TICKETS!

Tune in on Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning for your chance to win FREE tickets to Tuesday night's Metric show at Mr. Smalls Theater!

Please be prepared to give some basic contact info to the DJ on the air in order to claim your prize if you win!

 

When you hand over your money for a concert ticket, what are you really paying for: some idea of the performer you've gleaned from gazing longingly at album covers and compulsively clicking YouTube videos, or the performer as they choose to express themselves on that given day? Is the consumer entitled to a certain expectation of the performance — a satisfaction-guaranteed procession of "the hits"— or should the artist interpret the fan's investment as a vote of confidence, that the fan is willing to follow their every whim? In other words, is the customer really king, relegating the artist to the role of a court jester whose sole purpose is to entertain on demand? Or does the artist, elevated up on the stage and paid for the privilege, still dictate the terms of the contract? More at www.ilovemetric.com/site/bio.htmlWPTS PRESENTS METRIC AT MR. SMALLS!
with Band of Skulls

Tuesday, November 24 @  8pm (7pm doors), All Ages

$20/ticket, available at the WPU Box Office, Mr. Smalls box office, or ticketweb.com/mrsmalls
