I assume the $350 comes with a bag of Cali's best green buds to share with Snoop.

pellboy

It better also come with a bodacious California blonde or two to help me smoke it. Schnizzle.

Green

Hmm, this could be fun, havent seen him since 97 lola, i remember him smoking on stage or something and saying to the police, you ain't gonna do nothing about it cause if you do all these people are gonna riot, it was pretty funny. I believe Tool played shortly after and if I remember correctly Prodigy was the headliner, we left after Ozzy played.

Smoke dope with Snoop would be worth $350. That's something to tell the grand kids about.

Danny

A whole new meaning to meet and greet.

Robbie

$350.00? LMAO, yeah crossroadskc, home of the cheap tickets. Even $34.00 is not cheap, where do people dream this place is affordable? It is a shthole for sure, but affordable, uh, no.

Green

I think the price is right, 34 dollars to see one of the biggest names in rap, figure he has been around for 30 years, i dont think thats to high at all, sure the 335 is high but thats a vip and most likely includes a meet and greet, die hard fans will jump at that which in turn brings the average ticket price down for everyone else. Snoop is a legend, not many people stick around in this business for 30 years.

.

You skip the Crue and you are going to see rap crap? come on man.

Green

I saw the Crue years back at Memorial Hall right before they got big again, it was great, doubt i will see them at a place that small any time soon so i will stick with that memory, Sprint Center is to big for shows, Roger Waters is the only one to figure out how to use the space. Been a long time since I have seen Snoop, I might check it out, we'll see, I heard his last show at voodoo was pretty good.

jjskck

30 years? Snoop's only 39 years old!

Unless I missed his guest spot on that Afrika Bambaataa album, I think it's more like 20 years. :)

Green

Ahhh, haha, sorry, 20 years.

Steve

It would not surprise me if Snoop had been burnin Indo and kickin it old school since 4th grade.

Rick

What's the big deal about him smoking onstage? Lee 'Scratch' Perry was doing that years - probably decades - before Snoop. In fact, though I can't prove it, he likely stole a few musical ideas from Perry along the way as well.
