Unlike those other concert Web sites that expect something in return for displaying the schedules for Todd Rundgren, Third Eye Blind and Reel Big Fish, we’ve marked down all of our dates, including the new ones for the Blue Man Group – Rock Tour to the low, low price of zip, nada, ZERO!

But that’s not all.

Want to see all the dates for New York? Los Angeles? Saginaw? Go right ahead. All of our city schedules, as well as our venue schedules, including the listings for Madison Square Garden and the Greek Theatre, are also free. So put away your credit card, and set aside your checkbook. We’re breaking the rules, we’re scraping away the mold and we’re changing the way the tour-date industry does business as we serve up dates for everyone from Aerosmith to ZZ Top at absolutely no charge to you, the dedicated concert fan.

It’s just our little way of saying “thanks” to the Internet community. A way to give back something to all of you who have supported us ever since our founder, Festus Pollstar, started this Web site way back in 1931. So dig in! The water’s fine!

How can we do it? How can we list tour dates, such as the ones for Fiction Plane and Moscow Boys Choir without charging you one, thin dime? It’s easy. We’ve adapted the software shareware business model. Use us all you like, and if you feel that our services have benefited you, just give us a small donation, a tithe to help keep the Pollstar.com tour-date factory a hummin’. In fact, one of our representatives is waiting outside your door right now. He’s easy to spot.

He’s the one with the gun. Oh, and thank you for your support.
