I keep falling into the trap that The Villages provides things like entertainment to sell homes but it is really to sell homes, insurance, golf carts, banking, health care, etc., etc. And of course to scalp tickets to National Acts. Of course you can get tickets to acts that Social Clubs hire for $1800.

Just know that as a Villager, The Sharon is NOT your venue, it is a Florida venue for maximum profit. So we all agree.
The Villages is a community. It is the community in which I decided to live. Like all communities, there are many businesses that exist within. Stores, retaurants, theaters, etc. They exist to make a profit, and go away if they don't. If we were talking about Atlanta or Dallas, no one would question this.
