Coachella 2013

[gardenfresh]

So when does everyone think Weekend 2 will sell out?

[schlonginus]

I just saw Social D at Voodoo in 2011. Very disappointing set.
X is a much better over the hill punk band live. I saw them exactly 15 minutes after Social D at Voodoo on a different stage and they were great, but X completely DESTROYED IT at FFF7 a few months ago.

[krstphr]

Sold out per their Facebook although the weekend 2 link to purchase tickets is still active.

Well, according to gf, you don't know rock and roll.

Yeah it still lets you add tickets to your shopping cart too. Why does Coachella have to lie like that!

[Chareth Cutestory]

Social Distortion is absolutely garbage right now. There are many fine punk bands on that lineup however, where one doesn't need to bother with SD.

[schlonginus]

Not to mention they would conflict with something way better.
I imagine Dead Can Dance into Nick Cave will probably close the outdoor theater stage on sunday. If that was the case, I would plant my ass right there for the duration of the evening.

This is certainly new and exciting.

Wow, so RHCP were indeed the last minute booking.

"We figured out if they have 180,000 people over the two weekends, there's a good chance that 10 percent or less would've actually seen the Chili Peppers at a previous Coachella. It seemed like it would actually be, in many ways, a very fresh thing."


quack this guy.

Once again, quack this guy

[stonefury]

I would call RHCP many things, but fresh definitely isn't one of them.

I'm curious, have any stats been released as to how many people went both weekends last year?

Looks like 80-85,000 per weekend.

[schlonginus]

The question was how many of those people were double dippers...doing both weekends instead of just one.

[krstphr]

Finally got my flight booked. Get to Vegas at 10:55 Wednesday night. It's all happening.

[Chareth Cutestory]

I'm finding round trip flights on Hotwire for like 240 a piece. This is nuts.

[canexplain]

It's funny, on the Coachella board I defend The Roo and on this board it seems I often have to defend Coachella. Folks, we are all different, we all have different tastes so just go with it. I am going to The Roo, but I am also going to Coachella because it is going to be such great friggin fun. Just saying ....cr****

Jesus, I thought I was being clever when I got a direct for 347 a month ago.

Is that hanging from the wing?

[iamthehorn]

Does anyone have experience with Virgin Air? Do they help you out at all if your ticket price drops after booking? I'd be happy with even a couple drink vouchers ...

How do you drag camping equipment to fests if you fly? Do you just stay in hotels. The only time I have done that was from Denver to the Bay for the Bridge shows but I had a gf then and I stayed with her. I always drive and never have enough friggin room even then lolz. cr****

I booked my roundtrip from Nashville to San Diego on Kayak for $250.

I plan on stopping by a Wal-Mart on my way in, loading up on camping gear, then on my way out, returning it all

I'm doing a hotel. I'd figure out camp gear for something that went all night like Bonnaroo, but staying in a hotel at Coachella made a lot of sense and wasn't too much of a premium.

[krstphr]

Part of my Roo crew lives in Vegas so I'll be getting most of my camping supplies from them.

I flew in with my camping gear last year. My setup had to be pretty minimal, but it was fine.

[itrainmonkeys]

Flew into Roo with my camping gear. Only thing I lacked was an EZ Up tent but I was able to share with Inforoosters so I didn't bake completely.

If it was any other retailer other than Wal-Mart I would feel bad. Thats why I specifically chose that bastard of a store.

If you are concerned at not being able to transport your cheap-ass inexpensive wal-mart camping materials back home, Coachella has donation bins available and the supplies will surely go to a good cause.

Or you could be a selfish dickwad, really it's your choice.
