Martinis, anyone?

Martinis, anyone?
If you can't make the trip to New Orleans this year for Mardi Gras, Shea's Performing Arts Center may have a good alternative celebration for you.
 
On Tuesday, March 8, Shea's will be hosting its 11th Annual Martini Gras, along with co-hosts Star 102.5 Radio and Artvoice.  The event is being held from 5:30 to 10 p.m. Those attending can enjoy food, live entertainment on the Shea's stage, psychic readings, basket raffles, and traditional Mardi Gras beads.  There will be a cash bar with a variety of specialty martinis and there will also be many same-night special offers going on at local establishments as well.  Guests are encouraged to wear their best Mardi Gras attire, such as feather boas or masks.
 
Tickets are available to buy now.  They will be $25 presale and $30 at the door.  The price of the ticket does not include drinks.  Drinks must be payed for separately at the cash bar.  To obtain presale tickets, call 716-847-1410 or pick them up at the Shea's Ticket Office.  Tickets are also available at www.ticketmaster.com or by emailing rscott@sheas.org.
 
The office is located at 650 Main Street.  It is open for ticket sales Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.  One can also obtain tickets during the intermission of any regular show.  For more information, visit www.sheas.org.

I noticed that it says $25 presale and "cash bar". What do I get for $25? Is that just the admission price or do the guests get anything?

The $25 for admission includes everything but the drinks (food, entertainment, beads, etc). Drinks must be payed for separately at the bar.

$25 for food and beads? No wonder I have never gone to this event before.

When they say food, it's really just some samples, and they run out quickly.

I will not be attending this year as they have moved it actually to Fat Tuesday when there are tons of other free events going on. It was much better the weekend before.
