Recession is the buzz word across the world and the two American Telugu associations have apparently using this situation to market themselves and sell tickets. While TANA announces $ 50 per person per day NATS announces $ 40 per person and $ 20 per student as Economical Registration Option. This is the way that recession has hit the two associations this time. Earlier there used to be $ 150 to $ 200 per ticket but now that reduced to this extent. And here in India, many film artistes have waited for a long time and also carried on some lobbying to participate in these Telugu festivals at the cost of those associations. But only a few could succeed.
