Everyone is fucking broke. The price of just existing has gone up so much more than wages.

Yea fuck off. Ticket prices are bonkers then you get there and if you want beer, water and food to survive each is 20$. Die or make it worth it for us. Fuck festivals.

“Here’s 50 bands, you probably like half of them. Pay us 200 to see them. Psyche! 150 dollars of fees.”
“Oh and by the way, the bands you like are playing at the same time so pick wisely! We’re not going to tell you when people are playing until 3 days before the show though”
“Also it’s 800 degrees outside, but if you want water that will be 20 bucks a pop.”
“You’re probably traveling, good luck with those expenses”
Sick New World was announced today. That description above is 100% what you get to deal with.

I used to go every year for just shy of a decade starting in 2009. I went to Coachella instead of Prom. It cost $400 for a ticket and a camping pass. That price climbed and climbed as the crowds grew and grew and before long it was $900 just to walk around shoulder to shoulder with a bunch of bratty kids. I miss it dearly, I really do, but I’m not paying all that for a fraction of the experience that I used to love.

Go to a local club and watch local bands. I live in the S Bay in LA and I’m blown away how good some of these bands are.

Pricing everyone out…post pandemic feels like artists trying to make up lost revenue by jacking up prices. Used to be my primary entertainment…now I stick to bar bands.

Seems like these festivals are still selling out, somebody is going and buying tickets. Plus I’m seeing some smaller festivals with less bands and more reasonable prices so hopefully we’ll get more festivals like that, might drive down costs of the bigger festivals
