Is A Riverfest Button Really Worth $10?

For the third straight year, Riverfest buttons are being sold for $10 each. This has led many people to question the value of the festival, so we decided to see what a button was really worth. We checked on the ticket pricing for concerts and similar events around the area and used a conservative average for the same event in Wichita. 

How much is a Riverfest Button Worth?

• Flaming Lips - $27
• Ok Go - $39
• Common - $54
• Mavis Staples - $58
• Randy Newman - $88
• Locash - $73
• Flobots - $52
• Less than Jake - $53
• Foxygen - $87
• Darryl Worley - $30

This list alone makes the button worth more than $500. This doesn't include other festival events like the Jet Ski races, Starlight Flotilla, Blacktop Nationals car show and dozens of other activities. Plus ... the people watching is priceless.
