February 29, 201214 yr Maybe it's just me, but $144.50 doesn't seem like a bad deal for a whole weekend of concerts.It's not really. But I'm cheap. :lol:
February 29, 201214 yr They went and made this something I'm thinking about going to see. I also heard Neko Case would be there. Jim, you still need that assistant? Yep...she's in. Wilco and Bassnectar will be there as well. Unless something major comes up on my calendar, methinks I'll be there.
February 29, 201214 yr It's not really. But I'm cheap. :lol: So how much do you pay on average for a ticket to a concert?
February 29, 201214 yr Yep...she's in. Wilco and Bassnectar will be there as well. Unless something major comes up on my calendar, methinks I'll be there.They are making this pretty ahrd to miss. Good lineup. I really want to see Galactic too. Just wish they had some of the collaborators from Ya-Ka-May were coming with them.
February 29, 201214 yr Around $15. To see a performer, with perhaps a single introductary act....and look what you're getting for about $45 per day.....It's all about perspective.
February 29, 201214 yr To see a performer, with perhaps a single introductary act....and look what you're getting for about $45 per day.....It's all about perspective.I agree, it's a good lineup and probably worth it. Just not sure I'm willing to pay for it... One other thing to consider, festival sets like this tend to often be much shorter unless you are one of the headliners like MMJ. While JTE or Galactic might only play for 30 minutes to an hour here, my $15 could get me a solid two hours or more of them when they are by themselves and in a much more intimate environment. Not every concert is the same. There is only one festival I make a point to go to each year and it only has three or four acts a day for roughly $50 on a two-day pass. But each act plays long sets with the headliners, Goose Creek Symphony playing super long sets. The festival is also insanely intimate, free of anything resembling security and/or police, and in an environment much more suited to me.
February 29, 201214 yr Maybe it's just me, but $144.50 doesn't seem like a bad deal for a whole weekend of concerts. It's not horrible, but it's not a great deal. What is a Bonnaroo ticket, $100 or so more than that? And it's a easily more than twice as large with a lot more established artists. I saw Springsteen there for probably cheaper than I could go see a regular show of his, plus there were a hundred other acts I checked out. $150 just seems kind of steep comparatively.

I wonder what Hangout is.
February 29, 201214 yr Bonnaroo lineup became official last week or so and it's looking pretty nice......
February 29, 201214 yr The concert lineup for the area is looking really good and has been the past few years, which I plan to attend some of. I'm starting my first one off in Columbus at Rock on the Range; it will be my fifth year of the six that it's been going on.
March 1, 201214 yr Good point. I wonder what Hangout is. Hangout I think was about half the price as Bonnaroo last year, I'm not sure though. Another good up and coming festival is All Good Music fest. It used to be held in West Virginia but is moving to Ohio this year. Allman Brothers and Flaming Lips are headlining with plenty of other good acts on the bill.
