They're usually things like "how much is it", or "is it going to be all ages" at a place like Lounge Ax. Let me say that I put in every shred of info that I have on a show. If I knew how much it was, or if it was abnormally all-ages, it'd have been in there. The exception is something like Freefest, where I don't bother listing everything unless people ask. That being said, please note there's a vast communication network in place that allows you, the show-goer, to get any amount of information on any show that you want, including information that's not in the list. CALL THE PLACE. I list phone numbers for all the venues, and when it's one of the smaller punk shows, the promoter's phone number is at the end of the list. It's certainly quicker than waiting for me to respond...
