Band 'String Cheese Incident' Pays Fees for Fans
The independent Colorado band String Cheese Incident gave their fans an allotment of tickets to their shows without a service charge. The band also agreed to pay any credit card service charge and wanted to have as many ‘volunteers’ attendees as possible, in order to give their fans better ticket deals. “We have a really strong fan base; it’s a tight-knit group of people and it’s been like that from day one,” stated Michael Kang the band mandolinist and guitarist “We’ve always had a group mandate, early on, to just do things we can to help our community out.” In 2003, the band took Ticket Master to court in order to sell more tickets through their own website.
