One sign of a recession year, Folgner said, was ticket-buyers' reluctance to shell out for high-priced marquee names. Ray Charles' annual three-night stand at the Coach House is usually an easy sell-out, but this time fans balked at paying nearly $40 a ticket and seats went begging. Glenn Frey and Lindsey Buckingham, two more big names you don't normally expect to see in clubs, sold out their shows--but not with the ease Folgner had come to expect in similar instances. Consequently, the Coach House tried to book more local bands and touring alternative-rock acts--shows in which ticket prices could be kept to about $10.
