Bonnaroo 2016 sold 46k. I don't think this year's ticket sales will be worse than that. 2016 was the first year there was a severe dip in quality plus they raised ticket prices by making you pay for a car camping pass. It had a top 3 that made inforoo happy but wasn't going to move tickets. Plus not a lot of artists that were really buzzing in those top lines either. You can say this year has a similar problem but I don't think it's nearly as bad. Also look at this god awful poster. The cost of gas and the price of everything going up is probably hurting Bonnaroo's sales a lot too. Hard to gauge how much that's a factor. But I think 46,000 or more is what we'll be seeing this year.

Pj + what were at the time rare Dead & Co and LCD shows seems like a bigger draw than Tool and blank
Tool (also paired with Puscifer) I think brings in a decent chunk of people who otherwise wouldn't be going if you took them off the lineup. I don't think Pearl Jam had that same sort of effect. Stevie Nicks and J. Cole also have a wider audience appeal than Dead & Co and LCD.

I don’t think subs are really an issue either year. Stevie is one of the few legend acts that younger crowds give a shit about. The subs are the issues.

No one irl cares about LCD. I literally didn’t go in 2016 despite some of my friends going because some EDM DJ called LCD Soundsystem were headlining and I’d never heard of them in my life.
I still don’t understand how they headlined stuff in 2016. That agent had the Midas touch.

I'm kind of with Todd. I don't think it'll be as catastrophic as many may think, I'd guess around 50 to 55K.
What's frustrating is they could probably get a fair bit more than that in last minute ticket sales if their communications were more on-game. Throwback pictures and sponsor posts just don't really sell the event.

LCD Soundsystem were pretty big before their not-a-retirement, and there was a lot of excitement about the comeback. Plus, this was still in an era when indie acts not named Tame Impala or The Strokes were being regularly booked in headlining slots. A lot's changed in music and music festivals between 2016 and now.
I’d set it at 35k. 45 way to easy too hammer the under
depends if we're talking ticket sales or attendance. there's a gluttony of tickets on stubhub and the official ticket exchange. poor saps on the official exchange can't set the price lower than $299 either. gonna be a lot of people eating their ticket I bet.
Is the resale price floor going to change at any point? Really hoping to pay $225 or so but don’t want to have to trust a rando on Reddit or something

I've bought off randos from Reddit. Just make sure they have a post history, wait til they have the wristband in hand, do pay pal goods and services, and don't send the money til they give you a tracking number.
As for price floor, I'm looking for $200. Things are at 250 ish right now; once they start shipping people are gonna start getting desperate. People on Reddit are delusional with their asking prices but I put out a feeler at 250 and had multiple people offering to sell.

I got one for $220 off Reddit. Waiting for it to be delivered to the girl. She has been texting me the delivery updates from Front Gate. PP G&S will be used when she shows me the wristband and sends tracking.

Sound reasoning. But when I look at that 2016 poster now, all I see is some amazing acts buried near the bottom. Twin Peaks, Bully, Vulfpeck, Chicano Batman, and some other good ones way down there. Plus Lizzo and Post Malone.
Anyway, I don't think this year's lineup is terribly compelling, at least near the top, though I think I might be among the 53,273 to attend. Not sure if absence makes the heart grow fonder since there was no Roo the last two years, but I'm getting stoked.
