Lollapalooza 2013

[LuckyNumber7]

In other news, my mission is to now find a band on Saturday besides the ones already highlighted that is worth seeing...this is hard. Pujol's alright, but Travis pointed out that the lead singer sounds like the guy from Smash Mouth and now I can't unhear it.

Well, depending on which slot The Verve Pipe ends up playing on...

You should see Family of the Year. Take a listen to them.

See, Lucky Number 7 thinks he's making a joke, but what he fails to realize is...I SAW The Verve Pipe last year #LollaRepeats

 

[LemonMelon]

It's not a for sure thing just yet. I'm not super excited about the lineup, to be honest

The lineup kind of sucks to be honest, but that's not really the point

 

[Jive Turkey]

I'm currently on Google Earth trying to find a suitable volcano in the Chicago area

I got 10 seconds in. NO.

We have a few quarrys, if that will help?

 

[LemonMelon]

Sounds like the boring next step for the Shins.

Odd third person perspective... but I was actually making that reference because I recall your Verve Pipe "trials".

Oh. Yes...I tried...stupidly hard to see The Verve Pipe.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

I got 10 seconds in. NO.

Well. To each their own.

But I wouldn't put a whole band's reputation on 10 seconds.

 

[bono_212]

Well. To each their own.

But I wouldn't put a whole band's reputation on 10 seconds.

I listened to two whole songs, they sound a lot like the stuff that's going to be at Lolla this year.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

Hmm. I'd think that's a good thing because theres a lot of good stuff!

 

[BoMac]

Y'all *should* come to Osheaga! Montreal's a fantastic place to be in the summer, never a dull moment! And the festival itself is well organized and much smaller and more accessible (I imagine anyway) than Lollapalooza. C'mon, let's have an Interference party!

 

[U2Fanatic4ever]

I wish we had the schedule up of who is playing what day so I know what single day tix to get.. wishful thinking I know.

Y'all *should* come to Osheaga! Montreal's a fantastic place to be in the summer, never a dull moment! And the festival itself is well organized and much smaller and more accessible (I imagine anyway) than Lollapalooza. C'mon, let's have an Interference party!

You know, I really want to. I've wanted to visit Montreal for years now. But for whatever reason the flights there from Chicago are always incredibly expensive.

 

[bono_212]

Phhheewwww. I can breathe now. Got the tix. Had to use my debit card because I couldn't remember the billing address listed on my credit card and capital one's website was down . If I screwed up again it was going to throw out my order.

OK. OK.

Now I'll spend the rest of the summer finding a good deal on 3-days.

 

[U2Fanatic4ever]

yeah.. after digging more i see it is.. my bad..

 

[U2Fanatic4ever]

so friday and saturday are sold out..

do you think they may release more single day tix later on??

 

[bono_212]

This is unreal. There's no way that many people want to see Lollapalooza that badly...

 

[LuckyNumber7]

No. People learned from last year the value of resale. It's stupid. When you've got such large crowds though, it becomes impossible to stop people from being able to move tickets.

I know for Muse, for example, they went ticketless and your ID/credit card served as your ticket. I loved that.

But then again, I bought 2 tickets. More on the grounds though that I am backing a friend up if she wants to go. If not, I'll make some money.

 

[iron yuppie]

My guess is that they will release more tickets down the road. But if they allowed for mass tickets to a single buyer knowing damn well they would turn around and sell them at double the price, I will be done with this damnable festival for good.

 

[bono_212]

The difference between last year and this year is blowing my mind.

 

[bono_212]

How is this whole festival sold out in just a matter of minutes? It took weeks last year....

 

[Imperor]

It's one of the three major festivals and in one of the biggest metro areas in the country?

 

[LemonMelon]

It took weeks last year

^

 

[bono_212]

And prior to last year, it never sold out right up until the day of the fest.

 

[iron yuppie]

My guess is this is a publicity stunt. "Look how popular we are! And we'll release more tickets, because we're generous too!"

 

[LemonMelon]

It probably has something to do with

1) the lineup being totally safe and bland

• Mumford and Sons

2) not actually putting all of the tickets on sale at once (I agree with iYup that they will release more)
3) people buying bulk tickets for profit

 

[bono_212]

At first I thought they just screwed us out of 3-day passes this year, but after what I saw today, it's got to be 2 or 3. There's no way Mumford and Sons is that big a draw.
