Over in the Local Blog Talk section, Kevin has linked to a post by KTRK-13’s Wayne Dolcefino about a story he has coming up on Sunday night:
Sunday night Hannah Montana hits the stage at Toyota Center. Unless you are rich, or very lucky, you and your kids aren’t going to be there. Tickets on Ebay last week were going for up to $1200. I secretly hid the fact she was even coming from my kids because there was no way I could afford to go.
Too bad I’m not a Houston City Councilmember. You see, city officials have been getting free tickets in a fancy twelve seat suite at Toyota Center for every concert, every event, every game.
There’s just one little correction that needs to be made:
Free grub and free cocktails, all at Aramark prices. That ain’t cheap.
The city got the suite for the $20 million YOU spent for Toyota Center. It is supposed to be used to promote the city. You know, a place to help bring in convention business. So why are city officials taking their families? Munching out on a vendors tab?
Aramark doesn’t hold the Toyota Center contract — Levy Restaurants does. Aramark has the contracts at Reliant and Minute Maid.
