BAND SPENDS BIG BUCKS ON THE BOAT: BC/DC members Brian Bon Jon-Scottson, left, Spliff Swilliam, Paddy Thuddy, Mangus Hung (in car) and Angus Hung wait for the ferry to start loading Saturday afternoon. By the time they've made the return trip, with a meal and a few amusements, B.C. Ferries will have made more than $200 from them. - Sun, 12 Jun 2005 7:11pm

"When the band BC/DC takes the ferry to Vancouver Island from Nelson for a gig, the fare is just the beginning of what they pay.

Waiting for a ferry at Swartz Bay Saturday, lead singer Brian Bon Jon-Scottson said the five band members will get breakfast on the ferry -- which will cost about $10 each -- and there will also be a stop at the massage chairs. For bass player Spliff Swilliams much of the ferry trip is spent in the arcade.

"It's only when we arrive that he ends his game," Jon-Scottson said.

The band paid $200 for two vehicles and all the members to head back to the mainland after playing shows in Duncan and Victoria, plus all the extras on the ship. Although B.C. Ferry Services has applied to raise fares an average of eight per cent to cover rising fuel costs, it is also hoping more people spend like Jon-Scottson and his band mates.

"Retail is an area we are trying to grow," said Deborah Marshall, a spokeswoman for B.C. Ferry Services..." - Sun, 12 Jun 2005 7:13pm

we played vancouver a few weeks ago, took our van and trailer + 5 guys, it was $300 return.

The new breakfast buffet is $14 for crappy tasteless colon clogging meat, pre-fab eggs and some fruit bowls. - Mon, 13 Jun 2005 7:15am

Thats why you gotta sneak people on the ferry. In OneDrop we got upwards of 7 dudes, we have never had to pay full fare, even when we got busted. Just play dumb and say you thought the fare was vehicle and driver. The scam can save you like 30-40 bucks for 3 free passengers. - Mon, 13 Jun 2005 1:51pm

BC Ferries: Real reason why it's rare to get any decent bands in this town!!! Such as NiN with Queens of the Stone Age (coming up quick), they play Vancouver, and we have a new arena, so how come they won't play here? - Wed, 15 Jun 2005 11:52am
