Kid Rock is breaking all the rules with the announcement of his U.S. Summer tour by offering tickets in all sections (reserved seats and lawn) at an affordable $20 price point, using paperless tickets where possible, and lowering prices on everything from parking to beer to merchandise for every show in every city. The rock star said it was his decision to take a pay cut and that he made the tickets more affordable to benefit those struggling during the tough economic period.
