<p>Teriwtt-
The Summerfest had more than Stevie last night-- there are 11 stages, and over 700 musical groups over the several days. I noticed that one of the venues had 3 dog night last night! If the ticket was $12 for admission to the whole shebang (I am not sure about that) that is a pretty darned good deal. Of course seeing SW for free is a great deal too, but I think my DS happly parted with 12 bucks last night :)</p>
<p>The thing with Summerfest is that you often have to pick between two or three headliners in one night, going on at the same time.</p>
<p>I remember a couple of years ago my daughter wanted to see Dashboard Confessional, but they were basically playing/overlapping with John Mayer, so I think they split their time between the two venues. Usually the ‘headliner’ of the evening will command a bit more money than $12 for a ticket. I can’t remember what they paid for John Mayer, but I know the admission included entry to all the venues/concerts that night. Usually the later evening shows at the Marcus Ampitheater cost more, but sometimes they give out a limited number of free wristbands the day of the show.</p>
<p>The whole thing is very cool! I may try to get up there this year next week to see John Mayer - haven’t seen him in four or five years.</p>
