"Everybody has been so good to us over the years, and year after year ticket prices get higher and higher and higher," Ozzfest co-founder Sharon told MTV News. "And we just thought we can't keep on raising ticket prices because there is not that much money out there anymore. Hey, kids can go online and download music, why not go to a show for free too? What the heck? Ozzy's got a new record coming out this year, he'll be touring the whole year. There is plenty of time to make money."
Sharon Osbourne said none of the bands will be paid, outside of merchandise sales, but they will be encouraged to play shows on off-nights.
"You know what, we are giving them a stage. Even if it's for 30 minutes, be a part of an event, because this is what it is going to be: an event," said Sharon, who is expecting a more rotating lineup than in the past. "It's going to be a groundbreaking, great time for everyone. And we're saying, 'Go out the next night and get paid a zillion dollars.' "
