the ballroom holds about a grand…and the only way to get tickets is to go buy them… anyone that has a so called “hookup” prolly couldnt get you tickets unless its the promoter or the owner…or members of the band…so suck it up, go to macy’s or tops(whichever it is) and by the tickets… you could call the ballroom (852-3900) and see if you can get em at the box office there to save yourself some loot ---
