I have stated this forever about the Hult Center.  When it was first built with tax payers money all the civic leaders and Politicians  stated that the Hult would be self supporting.  More political LIES.  The Hult has been on state and federal subsidy (a sum of money granted by the government or a public body to assist an industry or business so that the price of a commodity or service may remain low or competitive), FOREVER,  and they always offer half price tickets or even free tickets, WHY, because a majority of people in Eugene do not like the entertainment that is scheduled and or ticket prices.      The Hult caters to a SMALL  group of people who think they are SOCIALITES OR ARTSY types of people.       Take the Hult off of SUBSIDY, let the small group of socialites pay for it, OR, CLOSE IT DOWN.............
