Thank you. Some of these other performers should follow in your foot steps. God Bless you! You are exactly right you can barely afford to live these days.
God bless you Cledus, huge respect. I just went to a concert, it was $120 just for the ticket, let alone travel, lodging, gas, ect. Makes me sick, have to take a loan to see most artists music these days.
Old Toby is smiling down on you right now sir 🇺🇸💪 I think this type of approach is going to take off in all areas of entertainment. People are fed up with feeling like they need a 3rd job just to do something fun every now and then it’s absolutely ridiculous.
Was lucky enough to see Ole Cletus with Trace Adkins and Montgomery Gentry together one night in Johnson City, Tn. That was one of the best concerts ever. All of these artists were and are the real deal. I’m glad that I and my wife attended the show, sad about Troy of Montgomery Gentry, but all were class act, top notch star’s in my opinion!!
I have great respect for someone like you who understands the way it is. What a great rant and you're right I can't afford to do "fun" because I have to choose between rent or groceries.. I'd pay $25 to see you anytime out of the respect you've shown in this !! Good Job !!
Total respect for that. I love playing for free events that are sponsored by businesses and cities. Right now this is the only way some families are able to enjoy entertainment in our economy today. The turn out is very good for them.
A Genuine and Honest Man, with a Good and Kind Soul and Heart, a True Star a Rarity amongst the many so-called entertainers and stars. May You always be Prosperous in all that You do and in all Your Days 🙏❤️🤟❤️💯💯💯‼️‼️‼️‼️
This is the real reason why Rock groups are having to cancel tours, because people don't have any money, no one can afford the high price of concert tickets.
Thank you for your straight up honesty and integrity, two traits few people possess. The meet and greet fees are preposterous, the fans made these people, and where would they be without them?
You're a real one, thank you! You're correct though. 20 years ago I was paying 20 bucks for most concert tickets. I'm a single mom now & would love to take my kiddos to a concert. But everytime I look up ticket prices for various artists, they're astronomical & simply unaffordable so I've never been able to take them. I applaud you for taking a stand. Thank you ❤
Cletus, you can contact Magnolia, AR to try to work out a show at The Magnolia Blosson Festival, the have a steak cook-off that weekend too. Don’t know how they pay the performers, but the concert is free for those attending the Festival. We have seen some great shows at smaller venues! It would be right up your alley!
Preach it brother. I’ve never been to one of your shows but I absolutely would love to come to a show and enjoy it and would love to meet ya man and shake your hand. Much respect to ya Cletus T. Bruce in Wv!!
I don't know you, but I'm going to get to know you, because you make plain sense. I want to thank you for being considered of your audience. Thats very thoughtful and it will not go unappreciated.
I don't know who you are, kind of old soft rock sort that I am... but felt compelled to hear what you had to say. Friggin mad respect for you, Handsome Sir!!
That's awesome brother. Even a small theater downtown in our small town is selling tickets to watch a play. Tickets were $20 each, but after fees, $55 for me and my wife. And these are local talent.
Way to go brother for thinking about your fans and the Hard-Working American people!!! You've made it and you'll continue to prosper... Attitude and character says it all!!
RESPECT! This is a large part of why everything is too high today, middle men and big business want more than their share. Greed is not a business model I support.
Don’t sell yourself short brother, you’re an awesome artist and person, we love you and appreciate what you do for your fans. I agree it isn’t right for these theaters to be charging so much, the artist and the fans deserve better. We appreciate you standing for what’s right. The labels take their cut, venue takes their cut, the artist/group gets a third if they are lucky and it’s good we have great artists like you who stand up for what’s right and spread awareness. Take care and god speed brother 🙂
God bless you 🙏🏽 for being humble 🙏🏽 Some performance only think 🤔 about the money 💰 not thinking 🤔🤔 about the fans like you do 😊Thank you for being humble and sincere 🎉🎉
Been a fan since I heard you on Bob and Tom a few years ago. Much respect to you sir. Even if I had a bussiness, I still could charge the price some people charge for their products. Thanks for the laughs. Thanks.
Hell, your tickets are waaaaaaay cheaper than most especially concert ticket they are triple of what yours cost. What i dont understand is the fees they tack on is just as much if no more that the ticket itself. Your A Good Man Cledus T Judd!!
I have been listening to you since I was a very young boy. Believe it or not I still have cassettes put away in a box 😂. I’ve only been to 1 concert and sadly didn’t get to meet you in person at the meet and greet. If you ever make your way to Souther Virginia, I am a Life Member at one of the VFW,s and we would love to have you. Your music can uplift some of the worst situations people are going through and put a big smile on so many faces. You will always be a massive icon in the music industry.
You probably won’t ever see this but if you do I just wanted to say .Man I’ve grew up on your music always loved every song you have ever done . Always wanted to see you . But man would I love to shake your hand and tell you thanks for all the laughs and memories that you have made in my life . Just to throw this in there every light in the house is on will never be the same me and my wife will be listening to it when it comes on the radio all I can say is every light in the house is blown . God bless you .
Thank you!! I wanted to see a female artist earlier this year but after seeing the starting price of tickets, it wasn't possible. I'm a huge music lover. I always will be but I gotta admit ticket prices have made me see some artists in a different light. It's common sense to me that artists know about this and I can't help but wonder why they don't stand up and say enough! Again, thank you!
Amen brother!!!!! This is a real entertainer who cares about his fans and not a greedy Ass like the rest of all performers!!! Much appreciated and Respect 🙏
Its been a while since I've heard anything from you Cledus. I totally respect you looking out for your fans concerning concert ticket prices these days.
I agree with you stuff has gotten too outrageous. There’s been several things I’ve wanted to take my boy to and go to look up tickets and it’s like oh my God.
Things have got so bad the only time I go to a concert is at the Indian casino when it's free not trying to be cheap but can barely afford the gas for that much respect for the rant and the thoughts for us poor people
God bless you sir for be honest humble man me and my husband didn’t do a lot of things this summer because of the prices here for anything we live in NY 😏 and we used to go to this annual country concert 🎶 every year but this year when my husband went to go order the tickets he nearly feel off the chair I said what’s wrong he said we’re not going I said why? he said look at the prices so I looked JHC the cheapest was $75 to $150 😳😮 no way it used to $25 50 everything went skyrocketed can’t afford nothing anymore just crazyness bless your heart ❤️
I second that Cledus. It is ridiculous to charge what a lot of them charge and then you have the concessions to worry about after. The only thing I worry about is the cost of security with everything going on at a lot of these concerts. I’ve only been to a fair type concert or show when I was 18 or 19. Even those places can charge a lot depending on the fair you go to. I’m now 48 and haven’t been nowhere since. Most of it was due to not time to do it and then it was the cost when I did have the time. The most I would pay would 45-50 but no more than that. I still have to eat.
It’s the parasite ticket companies that pop up all over . You’re better off getting your tickets from the place that is having the venue , buying it from the actual event center not through a third-party. I’ve been screwed like that more than once. Hell I paid 260 bucks for four people to see Brad Paisley sitting in the lawn grass 300 feet away from him. It was a great show. Don’t get me wrong. It’s Brad Paisley but 260 bucks for a grass seat come on.
I would pay 50 to see you. I haven't seen you in Michigan. other artist we wanted to go see were over 300.00 ticket. I dont pay more than a 100 a ticket for anyone. I agree with you. You are worth more than 25 though. Love ya bro. your real
Just a man being honest and thinking of others!!!! Nothing but respect for that speech!!!!
Thank you. Some of these other performers should follow in your foot steps. God Bless you! You are exactly right you can barely afford to live these days.
Extra respect for cledus, looking out for the little man, most concert tickets triple that price! What a stand up guy!!❤😁👍💯
Cledus, I clicked on this simply because of the title. I don't know who you are, but you can guarantee I'm going to find out.
Much Respect!!!!
Look up the song " My cellmate thinks I'm sexy" dude is hilarious. Between him and Rodney Carrington. I can laugh for a week.
@@RandyHollis-y2z Thanks! I definitely will!
It's people "higher up the ladder" who need to adopt this opinion.
Honesty, character, and integrity.
Just another reason I enjoy this man. Much love and respect
Respect Sir!
God bless you Cledus, huge respect. I just went to a concert, it was $120 just for the ticket, let alone travel, lodging, gas, ect. Makes me sick, have to take a loan to see most artists music these days.
Old Toby is smiling down on you right now sir 🇺🇸💪 I think this type of approach is going to take off in all areas of entertainment. People are fed up with feeling like they need a 3rd job just to do something fun every now and then it’s absolutely ridiculous.
I love this guy!!! More people need to be like this!!! Athletes, musicians, everyone.
Times are hard and this man knows it. Thank you! For your understanding!
God Bless You for your Honesty!
Amen Brother.
Thank you Cletus for caring about the little man.
Sir I don't know you, but your exactly right.
Thanks for your commitment to fairness.
Cheers
Doug 😎

Your A True American Patriot Good Sir. God Bless You Cledus
Thank you! Ticket prices have gotten out of control. Your $50-60 is nothing compared to some tickets. Your candor is appreciated! ❤
Amen to that! He is worth the money and absolutely, other people are $350 ticket/person!
God Bless you and yours for standing up for us folks.
That's a huge 🙏AMEN!❤
I have great respect for someone like you who understands the way it is. What a great rant and you're right I can't afford to do "fun" because I have to choose between rent or groceries.. I'd pay $25 to see you anytime out of the respect you've shown in this !! Good Job !!
Major respect for you!! We need more like you! 😁
Wish crowds weren’t so stressful to me. I’d go to your show just out of principle. Salute.
Thank u Sir. Worked for your shows a few times earlier years. You're a class act, my friend. Thank u
Total respect for that.
I love playing for free events that are sponsored by businesses and cities. Right now this is the only way some families are able to enjoy entertainment in our economy today. The turn out is very good for them.
The utmost respect for you! It shows how much you value people and how much you think of others. We need more people like you in this world!
Well said....I like your way of thinking 🤔
A Genuine and Honest Man, with a Good and Kind Soul and Heart, a True Star a Rarity amongst the many so-called entertainers and stars. May You always be Prosperous in all that You do and in all Your Days 🙏❤️🤟❤️💯💯💯‼️‼️‼️‼️
Thankyou for speaking up !
That’s why I haven’t went in years. Thanks BIG C!
Much respect Sir. God Bless you. 🙏🏻❤️

Man I'd love to see you at the VFW here in Abilene, Tx
I don't know who you are, but I like the way you talk! Easy to listen to you. Keep it up!
Your a smart man CTJ just like your ole buddy TOBY K was same reason he was so well liked this is the only way it's going to stop it and your right
This is the real reason why Rock groups are having to cancel tours, because people don't have any money, no one can afford the high price of concert tickets.
That's respectable sir. Finally somebody has a heart...
Thank you for your straight up honesty and integrity, two traits few people possess. The meet and greet fees are preposterous, the fans made these people, and where would they be without them?

You are a breath of fresh air!! Thank you for your honesty! ❤️

All the respect to you!! I been listening to you since I was a little kid. Awesome!
I don't know you, but I'm going to get to know you, because you make plain sense. I want to thank you for being considered of your audience. Thats very thoughtful and it will not go unappreciated.
Bless you sir
You got a platform right here, for now. It's good you know who's taking yours. I have the upmost respect, for your decision.
Thanks Cletus T we really appreciate you for all your doing
God will bless your heart.
I saw Cledus twice back in the day. Once opening for Montgomery Gentry and once at Lake Winnepesaukah. I think the Lake Winnie show was free.
I don't know who you are, kind of old soft rock sort that I am... but felt compelled to hear what you had to say. Friggin mad respect for you, Handsome Sir!!
Your a ray of sunshine in out dark an dismal world !!!! ThanksYou for thinking of folks
Cledus makes my day when I'm on a long drive, God Bless you man!
Respect to you Cledus. It shows you love and respect your fans. Hats off to you.
That's awesome brother. Even a small theater downtown in our small town is selling tickets to watch a play. Tickets were $20 each, but after fees, $55 for me and my wife. And these are local talent.
thank you so much
Nothing but respect for this man! God bless you brother. Keep it real. You have my unconditional support and admiration.
I've watched a lot of your videos on UA-cam. I get a good laugh out of all of the videos. Thank you for the laugh.
Wow Cletus, you are one in a billion. Thanks for restoring my faith in humanity.
Way to go brother for thinking about your fans and the Hard-Working American people!!! You've made it and you'll continue to prosper... Attitude and character says it all!!
RESPECT! This is a large part of why everything is too high today, middle men and big business want more than their share. Greed is not a business model I support.

If only other entertainers would step up you are a man of true respect thank you so much for thinking of everyone not just yourself
Hell, your tickets are waaaaaaay cheaper than most especially concert ticket they are triple of what yours cost. What i dont understand is the fees they tack on is just as much if no more that the ticket itself.

Your honesty is refreshing in these last days on earth.

You're a very humble person. I'm hoping others are like you !
You are a great man sir
I Love you Cletus T. ♥️ God Bless you for saying what needs to be said about these crazy prices!
Much respect to you sir 👍
I wouldn't pay a dime to hear you perform, but you are good as gold.

Love ya pal!! Hope you make it South Ms I'll be waiting!!
I have absolutely no idea who you are, but you're 💯 spot on.
You are SO correct …. I can not afford it … THANK YOU SIR 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I saw Journey in the 70's "Wheel in the sky" tour 7 times...the ticket price for each show was $17.50...Fan Friendly Pricing
I saw that same tour, good times. It just cost me $700 a ticket to see Stevie Nicks last year!
❤️🤗God Bless !!!
