A Lincoln, Neb. couple is suing Ted Nugent in Lancaster County, Neb.
Court for allegedly dropping the ball on an Internet auction in which
they paid $1,535 for dinner with the rocker and front-row seats to one
of his concerts, according to the Associated Press.
Ron and Krishelle Bennett won an eBay Internet auction which allegedly
gave them unrestricted backstage passes and front-row seats to Nugent's
Aug. 25, 2000 concert at Sandstone Amphitheater in Bonner Springs, Kan.,
as well as a sit-down dinner with the singer-guitarist.

In the lawsuit, filed Monday (Jan. 22), the couple has alleged that they
only received limited access backstage passes, seats that were 30 rows
back from the front row, and that Nugent did not join them for dinner but
rather only spoke briefly with the couple before the show.
"This guy was my hero," said Ron Bennett, as quoted by the Associated
Press. "I was thrilled to see him, and he basically destroyed my entire
belief in rock and roll."
The Bennetts are suing for fraud and breach of contract, seeking an
unspecified amount in damages.
"...and he basically
destroyed my entire belief in rock and roll."--thats a little heavy no--i hope he gets his complete $$ back but not a penny more
