$12 for a 24 oz.
So you paid $6 for a 12 oz.
Outa line but about average, I've seen worse.
Sucks though.
20 years ago the old Jones Beach Theater on Long Island started doing rock concerts. 1st time the theater made a profit in 50 years. They used to sell beer and even let you bring whatever you wanted inside.
Gradually the BYOB went away and then one night a girl leaving the show drove into an open draw bridge killing herself and her younger sister. She had been drinking. That was the end of them selling alcochol.
While I'm sure the high prices are motivated by profit I wonder if it is also a way to control consumption? The more it costs the less you drink?
