Question for those in charge of developing that site: Aren’t you supposed to be all arty and exclusive??? If you want to be pretentious, stay away from words like “teeny” - jus’ sayin’.

Oh, and how dare you make this thing affordable?

If you haven’t picked up your ticket yet, what are you waiting for? An advance 3-day pass is only $80… Um, that’s $26.67 a day…and if you really wanted to boil it down, say you checked out 10 things a day (not tough to do!)… using our expert math skills, that comes out to just $2.67 per show. It’s a wonder you don’t spell “bargain,” B-U-M-B-E-R-S-H-O-O-T.

That’s basically like going to the movies and buying one piece of popcorn. And just for that:

Buy tickets here and go to the movies some other time.
