"We have the highest admission tax in the country," Horning said, "and we hope something will be done about it this next legislative session." The Coliseum director said he appeared before the S.C. House Ways and Means-Committee last spring to present the case for lowering the admission tax. He noted that admission tax in surrounding states is lower, allowing other southeastern states an advantage in attracting en tertainment , conventions trade shows and other exhibitions. "The state admission tax is ten percent of the gross take," he said, not ten percent of the profit," and he added that this really puts the squeeze on promoters. He said one show at the Carolina Coliseum last year, "The Festival of Stars," only returned a profit of $283 after taxes. He explained that the cheaper the ticket price, the higher the percentage of admission tax per ticket, and therefore promoters have to charge higher prices than other states in order to maintain a minimum return.

Subsequently, Horning said, it is harder to get the variety of shows the public wants at a price which they can really afford or are willing to pay. He added that the tax has also had "a negative impact on local people who' want to have an exhibit." Horning pointed out ad vertisements run by the Coliseum in a Florence newspaper and the same advertisements from North Carolina showed a ticket dif ference of 50 cents."So, the people in Florence have the choice to go to North Carolina to spend less of their entertainment dollar or travel to Columbia," he said. "All we are asking for is an equalization of the tax. This would increase increase activity and generate revenues which would make up the difference if the tax was lowered." Horning also announced that the Coliseum is putting the finishing touches on a 29,000 sq.ft. area in the coliseum which will be able to support a year round convention or trade exhibition business without interruptions from entertainment, sports or other events. int Posters -$4.95 re or Negative fie.
