The Resistance - 5/18 Summit, IL 7:30 - Sabu

I wish them well, but again, WorldwideUnderground's post here is the only news I've heard about this show.

I just asked Resistance if their Facebook-advertised and flyer $15 GA tickets from a few days ago are still available.
The actual ticket site only has $20 GA and some dreaded $30 front row free-rain-poncho seats.

They will be running a full service bar which doesn't interest me at all.
I wonder who agreed to pay to the insurance, security, and medical, especially since this is a Summit Park District venue?
Who will clean up the mess or pay for any damaged concessions for this "hardcore" show?


As a side note, I found out about this today:
Wrestling Legend & Hardcore Icon Sabu along with Super Genie Melissa Coates will be at Creative Comics in Griffith IN doing a signing this Sunday May 19th, from 2-4 PM.
Promo Pics-$10
Photo Op $10
T-Shirts $25
Unsigned Book $30
Personalized Book $40

Will there be any surprises in Sabu's fine-print like the price is actually $20 if you want BOTH of them. There is also no mention about your signed items.
I asked Creative Comics and they replied that they will check with the booker and get back to me.

More to come, maybe.

Just my opinions:
Hardcore might not be the direction to go with, but I have never promoted-they have.
The promotion and comic book store should both so more promoting and get their facts straight if and when they do their limited advertising.

Your thoughts?

That's too bad because it's one of those well kept park district facilities built in the 2000's.
I don't know much about Summit, IL but it appears that they run various community events throughout the week.

Anyway, Resistance replied on Facebook that the $15 GA tickets are sold out even though they didn't publish revised ads there and on their twitter pages with the corrected prices.
Their webpage also has the $15 price as of today.
They wrote they do not set the gimmick prices for the wrestlers appearances but that the prices will be reasonable and they plugged his new book. They didn't offer to check and get back to me.

Waiting to hear back from the comic book store about clarification for their Sunday appearance. They needed to check with the booker for clarification on the prices.

What kind of promoting is this?
There are 5 or more shows in Illinois this weekend and Resistance should try to distinguish itself by being fan-friendly with what minimal or no money spent towards promoting, even here.

Thanks for the update. I believe the store.
I've heard rumors about him but now I see for myself.

Thanks Swan.

Ahh, modern technology for an old man like me, lol.
Now the world can see stuff like this even if it is later taken down.

I skipped the Resistance show but went to the scheduled appearance at Creative Comics instead.
What a disappointment.
