Bonnaroo definately killed us this year.

But, still. There are some pretty great acts this year as well, so I guess i'm looking foward to it.

or maybe something went RIGHT...after all, 50 year olds have a lot more money to spend than 20 year olds. bring on the geezer rock!

No doubt they did choke. Other than petty, harper, the lips, and harper this lineup blows. I got suckered. Unfortunately, you were right Kwame.

no, other festivals don't give you the chance to buy tickets cheaper before the lineup. other festivals just charge one -- expensive price -- and you have no choice.

remember, ACL is the cheapest major festival in the country (neck and neck with Jazz Fest).

bonnaroo is like $180. coachella is $85 a frickin day! lollapalooza is even $140, but then again it's the only major festival in a big city.

you buy early because you KNOW you want to go no matter what. i get my ticket early every year and like this year i'm PUMPed.

if you're a bitch and can't be sure you're going to love it, don't buy your ticket until you see if your personal CD collection is on the lineup.

I know a lot of people who will pay $50 for your ticket(s). I would buy your ticket at cost, I have friends who yet to buy their ticket.

Of course, if you sell it for a profit, who is suckering who?

I don't get this "I have been ripped off" mentality, All you guys still have tickets with intrinsic value, if you are so unhappy, find a buyer.

It seems like all the people here bitching should've bought tickets to Lollapalooza. I mean, you're wanting more buzz acts, and a mainstream rock headliner, etc. Definitely more suited to Lolla. So sell your tickets for $100, or $115 if you're really that into it, and spend another $25 and go to Lolla.
