      - I was using the wired Turtle Beach ones you sent me years ago. -- (edited) - Krusty Jun 20, 07:37

- yeah, no -- nm - ty97 Jun 19, 18:29
- though if I read that correctly that's per vehicle. Same time it is still a virtual concert - JD Jun 19, 18:25 2
  - He’s not even going to be there. Seems ludicrous. Think of the low overhead. And Ticket Masters fees and handling charges should be less but I doubt - Epiphany with white mountain foam Jun 19, 18:27
