    D,

    There are tax consequences to big prizes like this. The entity running the contest has to issue an income statement to the winner because the fair market value of the prize minus the cost of entry is considered income to the winner and he/she is supposed to report it on their taxes. That is why the fine print of the contest includes info on the value and that is probably why entries have to be limited to US residents.

    I assume that is the reason, otherwise they could raise a ton more money by opening it up to everyone, maybe they just can't.

    Beyond the contest, I wish they would realize that one-off special events like this are special to us and a webcast or release of something like this is just as important as the tour bootlegs. Metallica releases every show too, but last year they played a four song acoustic set of covers at the MAP Benefit and they put that up for $5 on their site with all proceeds going to the charity. Hell, they even post free mp3s when they play the SSB at Giants games.

    Hopefully this special show gets released in its entirety.
