You've Come A Long Way

In the annual listing by Pollstar (trade magazine), Starland Ballroom was ranked the #4 selling concert/nightclub in the WORLD!! It has beat out big names including the Hammerstein and Roseland Ballrooms, the Electric Factory (PA), the Avalon (MA), and many House Of Blues spots.

Starland sold 207,000 tickets in 2005- 50,000 more than in 2004, the inaugural year. This is more than every spot in the NY Metropolitan Area and then some (as stated before).

Hey, not too shabby for a 3000 person venue hall, essentially in the middle of nowhere. On April 15 of this year, it will be even better thanks to the new smoking ban in public facilities in all of NJ. Now we won't die of emphazima just by walking into the place.

KEEP ON ROCKIN STARLAND!!

ohhh but for me nothing beats great music in a smokey venue. or a bit of weed during a peace lovin gig. i dont smoke, normally i cant stand it but i dont mind the smell in those instances. id hate it if my favourite venue went smoke free. my lungs can hold out for a few hours.
