Kevin Lyman comments on the "free" Ozzfest"

Warped founder Kevin Lyman continues to appear in the press, this time talking about competing tour, Ozzfest. Ozzfest opted to remove ticket prices this year and focus instead on advertising support. Lyman had some harsh words for the new strategy:

Sharon's a smart person, but basically that's what it is. It's a ploy, straight up. Ozzy's getting paid to do that show. She was struggling to put (together a bill) because she keeps charging more and more and selling less and less tickets. The attendance of that tour has been dropping for many years, and she keeps having to spend more on the talent to get people to the shows
