Who the hell would pay to see this?

I was down in Boston this weekend and I saw an ad for this show and it literally blew my mind. A live show featuring the Deadliest Catch captains? Who the fuck would go to this? And the ticket prices range from $35 to $90. Are you fucking kidding me? That's obscene! I can't believe anybody would even go to this, let alone pay $90 for the privilege. I thought the Charlie Sheen show was a dumb idea, but this is even worse. What could they possibly do to keep people's attention for any amount of time? The press release says this:

The Bering Sea’s toughest crew swap stories as they take the audience through some of the roughest situations the captain and crew have ever had to face on the high seas. From the treacherous weather and crew conflicts, to the triumphs of the team, Captain Sig and the Hillstrand Brothers bring the intense and unbelievable world of crab fishing to a live audience.



Oh, okay, well I guess that kind of makes sense. It's probably pretty intense to hear a first-hand account of some of the roughest situations that the captains have ever had to face. That might actually be kind of intersting. Hey, you know what would be even more interesting than that? If they had somehow brought a camera crew along with them on the boat, then edited the footage down into an hour-long reality show, and then put it on television for free. That would be a much better way to experience what it's like being on a crab boat in the Bering Sea.
