GV preparing for ticket surge - who's been added?

[SnowShoe]

This news is current as of yesterday, April 6th.

I have a source who is in software development, and some people were working overtime last weekend on a project that was urgent. Since I am a music fan, she asked me what I knew about a "rock festival in the desert."

As the story goes, it looks like Ticketmaster and Goldenvoice are preparing their websites for a surge of new ticket sales. It is a new option where fans can buy tickets based on their credit scores. Just like the layaway plan, but in reverse. Since the event is so close they are willing to check your credit and give you tickets, as long as you are willing to make payments. It actually sounds like a great idea in a struggling economy.

So if the promoters have put the software in place for this last-minute surge in weekend passes, WHO HAS BEEN ADDED THAT WOULD GENERATE AN ADDITIONAL 10,000 TICKETS TO BE SOLD?

It must be someone along the lines of:
U2
Springsteen
or - maybe they are ready to announce THE SMITHS have been confirmed.

Few acts except RAGE & RADIOHEAD/PIXIES have created the ticket panic for our favorite event, Coachella.

Your guesses?

[zenidogx]

LMFAO

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

hmmm.....

[michaelmontanez]

it's bowie and radiohead of course, and by that I mean Uffie.

[Casino Logic]

Check the main site. Under "Event Info Tab" at the bottom it says Pay Later. I saw it this morning and thought I was Trippin... It doesn't work yet though.

[summerkid]

wow that's crazy.

[All Your Base]

Interesting indeed.

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

this does give some credit to something major being added.....on the other hand...they could just be trying to boost ticket sales...but it would have to be someone earth shaking...given that people will have to plan on hotels/camping and what not...

[Jon Blazed]

Micheal Jackson bitches!

[c-sanch]

I can back this up. Yesterday night, under the event info tab at the very bottom there was this one that said "Pay Later"
I clicked it and it said that I couldent access it.
Interesting.

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

Micheal Jackson
David Bowie
Radiohead
Kraft Punk
The Smiths

are all being added...........lulz

Oh! I forgot U2....double lulz.

[All Your Base]

And it's just been taken down.

i like the direction in which this thread is going.....20pages by friday people..lets do it!

[LooseAtTheZoo]

Wow. This is big news, but once again I'm not getting my hopes up. Remember we only have 10 days left.

Then again, PF hasn't posted refuting this claim like she often does with other ridiculous rumors.

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

Psychic Friend is too busy to be shooting down every single rumor...given how close we are...

[woogie846]

There's only 10 days until Coachella. If they want a surge, they better make an announcement some time soon.

[nationocean]

look closlier

I seen it too, this morning. It was up 5 minutes ago, but down now. I never thought I would type this, but you could be right about Jacko. Or maybe... finally... Bowie.

Or maybe ticket sales are just that horrible, and they are pulling out "Pay Later" because they fucked themselves with "The Killers" and "The Cure". Honestly, though has GV EVER let us down? I'm expecting to be blown away, yet again. I thought we were, but I am thrilled to say; We aren't done folks!

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

I don't understandz...

[LooseAtTheZoo]

There's only 10 days until Coachella. If they want a surge, they better make an announcement some time soon.

Exactly. Everyone always talks about how Kanye was added just before set times were released, so anything is possible. But do we know how many tickets such a later add really generated?

[miSTEVEious]

Check the main site. Under "Event Info Tab" at the bottom it says Pay Later. I saw it this morning and thought I was Trippin... It doesn't work yet though.

not anymore

[HandBanana]

INTRIGUE!!!! (jazzhands)

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

Kanye was added after the festival sold out BTW.

[nationocean]

tooooo mysteriousssss

[Juliancito]

this thread is very interesting....LED ZEPPELIN?

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

No Bowie

tooooo mysteriousssss

nation do you know something we don't?

[All Your Base]

This has me a lot more curious than I want to be about mysterious happenings on the Coachella main site.

[SnowShoe]

You might be right. Maybe they are just offering another ticket option for fans who are on the fence.

Say what you want about the lineup (so far), Goldenvoice shoudl be applauded for offering the layaway option as well as this pay later thing (if it is real). $300 is a lot of money for people right now.

[nationocean]

life is full of surprises McMarco

[captncrzy]

this is weird.

[LooseAtTheZoo]

nation do you know something we don't?

Has nation ever know anything? I don't remember him posting anything like the dated picture of the lineup I suggested.

[zenidogx]

oh look! there's a big gap in the poster!

[HandBanana]

YOU'LL GET NOTHING AND LIKE IT!

[heyeric]

Hmm....I wonder...

The pay later option (if it does happen) would be great for people who can't afford it at this time but still want to go. The Layaway option seemed to be successful.

[LooseAtTheZoo]

oh look! there's a big gap in the poster!

LIAR!

[captncrzy]

For the record, nation knew that FNM were reuniting. This is a couple of months before they announced it.

Just sayin

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

life is full of surprises McMarco

oooooh! how mysterious!

[paganman7]

Ooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrrr, they could just try to be selling more tickets.

Just a thought. Continue the speculation.

[Casino Logic]

oh look! there's a big gap in the poster!

Is this a Joke? Or Please explain where? Thanks!

[paganman7]

nation do you know something we don't?


no.

[WALRUS]

said surge has to be ready this week by friday, if GV announces this week a BIG ADDITION, they will sell MANY tickets

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

Ooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrrr, they could just try to be selling more tickets.

Just a thought. Continue the speculation.

oh come on Pagan! You know this board runs on rampant speculation!

[nationocean]

no.

lol, it's pagan.. haven't seen you in months..

good times.

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

I still hate your avatar nation...

[HandBanana]

This will end, as it always does, in tears.

[captncrzy]

and yes, they are trying to sell more tix. that's they idea you know.. they are THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS of tix short of a sell out. So if you love Coachella at all, you should hope they sell more tix and maybe even have a surprise for people.

And really... what year did they not have a last min add or surprise? ...in the past 5 years :)

2007

[PierogiHead]

When is/was the last payment due for layaway? That might be a good thing to know when debating whether if it's merely another payment option or something more.

[WALRUS]

no...i think that people "on the fence" will not buy a ticket without a big addition......

a new pay plan will not sell tickets......people need an addition

i bought my ticket a month ago....but if i were "on the fence" a new pay plan will never convince me

[nationocean]

i'm going to change my avatar after coach.. my avatar has it's reasons..

[beavington]

Exactly. Everyone always talks about how Kanye was added just before set times were released, so anything is possible. But do we know how many tickets such a later add really generated?

I am guessing if they bring out a late add like really late they will jus be giong for single day sales.

[beavington]

When is/was the last payment due for layaway? That might be a good thing to know when debating whether if it's merely another payment option or something more.

Layaway was due April 3rd

[PierogiHead]

2007

Haha yeah, was about to say. Also last year -- Prince was already signed on so is that really a new surprise or just a late confirmation? The NIN/Coldplay year didn't have any big adds either, I don't believe.

[heyeric]

I haven't bought my ticket and if a new option becomes available i 'll use it and save the cash I have now just to spend while i'm out there and some...

...and just take care of the bill next month.

Otherwise, I'm just purchasing my 3day pass friday.

[nationocean]

This will end, as it always does, in tears.

Tears of a clown...

ALIAS.

[PierogiHead]

Layaway was due April 3rd

Good to know, because then it could just mean they wanted to roll this new tool out as a last resort once that option was over.

[karma_guy]

i put my money on black star being added

errrrrrrr, they are printing out (what the person said on the phone) all the tickets (lay away) and mailing them this week. they spent all weekend "printing" them out and stuffing them in to envelopes.

nice try though.

That would be FUCKING. AMAZING.

[paganman7]

They just added 5 acts, including 3 monster acts, not more than a month ago. It's over.

I suspect that many of you will be biting your fingernails next Friday afternoon waiting in line to get in thinking to yourself, "I can't fucking wait to get the set times booklet. I wanna fucking see who they added!".

[nationocean]

SURPRISE!

Paul Tollet is going to test the comfortability of random chairs placed on the main stage Saturday.

The stuffing of envelopes has nothing to do with my original post.

What I said was that some new ticketmaster thingamawidget was being created so that people could buy tickets based on their credit. It's a new technology, as far as I can gather.

I didn't notice that a button was already in place on this website, which has since been removed.

The question remains whether this "pay plan" itself could create a ticket boom, or if they are getting ready for a headliner to create this energy.

Continue discussion.

[HandBanana]

To be fair tho, it would be a silly shot in the dark for them to go to the trouble and expense to offer a payment plan with no incentive.

I mean, peeps knew about the layaway. They woulda just done that.

Unless this was something they wanted to do all along but just now got around to rolling it out. They probably were mad busy doing months of negotiations to secure El Gran Silencio.

[Newro7ic]

Someone mentioned clowns earlier. My money is on Insane Clown Posse. You can take that to the bank.

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

what are you talking about? el gran silencio has sold 4 tickets since the addition! totally worth it.

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

Someone mentioned clowns earlier. My money is on Insane Clown Posse. You can take that to the bank.

[Blinken]

I have a couple broke ass friends that will be happy to hear they can tickets on credit.

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

All of the fake posters look so pretty without Killers/MIA..

yeah yeah, so shoot me.

Oh and El Gran Silencio is IT for Coachella. Last add before the festival happens people. Take your dreams, your hope and magic and bury them. They don't belong in the desert.

awwww....lame! should we end the rampant speculation now?

Your going to be at Coachella this year, right?

EDIT: I loved El Salvador. The culture, the people. The history is saddening, to tell the truth. But it will be interesting to see what changes FMLN makes. Our group met with party officials from both FMLN and Arena, and to be honest, and don't think either of them are fit to be in charge right now. I don't know your political affiliation, but it seems to me that ARENA hasn't been succeeding for the past 20 years, so they might as well give someone else a shot.

I stayed at Playa Las Flores last year, and will be going back this Sept.
Also stayed at another coastal city about...3 hours away from Las Flores, but I can't think of the name at the moment.
I had a great experience there. We traveled a lot to the local cities and explored a bit, but it is the surf that is going to keep me coming back.

no company on earth is going to do a pay later.. "here, go to our festival for free, just pay us back later" you know how many people will just not pay and then GV has to go after all those people...

that would destory the fest

you are a fool

of course they would, if they tie it to pre-auth visa payments it would work just fine

basically i need to sell more tickets, take it on time and get my money all summer, or sell too few tickets and lose my shirt...... even if they had a 20% default rate it would be a better thing than an empty and underfunded event...

It amazed me how daft the average person is, i may happen to work in finance, but this is business 101 guys, i have no doubt they are doing it and i think it is very wise...

and for the future of coachella, I do hope it succeeds

obviously... since, uuuhh, i know it was there. and PF is being misquoted on what you are all talking about... it's called sarcasm. ask around, i'm full of it. and many other things.

What was she misquoted on again? I read what she said and felt she said that the whole "surge"/addition rumor was "retarded" and held no weight to it, and that it wasn't sarcasm but just her shooting it down.

[nationocean]

the surge yes, the pay later no.



indeed.

Well look at that.

Yeah, I'm confused too. I feel like someone just took a shit in my mouth and then gave me diarrhea to rinse it out with.

no. The surge is what pf called retarded, all the speculation based off a new feature is what she called retared. Pay Later will probably happen, and i happy about that.

see, that wasn't so confusing.

[PierogiHead]

Well my friends just all booked flights in from D.C. in hopes that either U2 or Moz/Marr are playing, so you guys better be right.

[chaynes]

It was just announced, get ready for the surge....

To culminate his highly successful career, Johnny Marr is going to play the triangle on stage for the Killers, and then will be retiring form music and will commence writing poetry with morrissey for the readers digest

[nationocean]

U2 is playing after Paul on Friday
No Doubt/Green Day/Michael Jackson are playing after Killers
and
Radiohead/Blur/Bowie are playing instead of the cure

[MissingPerson]

God help us all

Awesome.

Not the actual penguin murder, penguins are fantastic, just, funny.

sure why not.

[bobert]

I'm kind of offended, seeing that I myself am retarded and take offense when people use it to mean something negative.

1,282 posts and this is the first thing you've got right - that being that you are retarded, not that it's bad to use that word.

[PierogiHead]

Guys, this isn't funny if nothing happens. I already know 3 "surgelets" who are biting at this news now en route to CA next week.

[PierogiHead]

The second being that you're an asshole, of course.

Well looks like you are gonna get your ass kicked by some angry people. :thu

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

HEY O!

[PierogiHead]

Well looks like you are gonna get your ass kicked by some angry people. :thu

Yes, they might be angry but I'd like to think a crowd of 30,000+ might think it odd to see 3 grown men "ass kicking" a 23 year old 5'3" female.

[zajaa]

no, not really, no

[miSTEVEious]

Guys, this isn't funny if nothing happens. I already know 3 "surgelets" who are biting at this news now en route to CA next week.

Cunt Putning.. I like that... you should bring that over to the "face melting" thread.

[DFrank]

Here goes to getting my hopes up...again.

[tomphan1]

Wow. This is big news, but once again I'm not getting my hopes up. Remember we only have 10 days left.

Then again, PF hasn't posted refuting this claim like she often does with other ridiculous rumors.

PF's posts seems abrasive at times, I would think PF would be a he. How do you know PF is a she, by the way?

[PierogiHead]

Alright, Mr. PierogiHead is back manning the ship. What'd I miss why the future Mrs. took over?

No surge? No surprise...

Oh its not mine

INTRIGUE!!!! (jazzhands):D CLASSIC!

I hope we don't know who's added until we get there. That would make me high five everyone and buy 10 random people a beer.

[HandBanana]

Nationocean is back to deleting his own posts again.

Srsly, he has never, ever disseminated any meaningful information. Not even one time.

He's covering his tracks to hide innocuous info that he never gave.

I would hope yall would remember this the next time he shows up and tries to ride the rumor waves.

[PierogiHead]

Rumor waves? The only thing he rides is cock.

Well, even if there aren't any adds I'd like to buy random people a beer. Want to be one of them? Will you be wearing your avatar as a shirt, or just be yelling those words out in between sets as loud as you can all weekend? It'd make things easier...

[HandBanana]

Lulz. Ill be in the camp.
I wanna meet a lot of board peeps, but would prefer to do it anonymously as first.
Without them seeing me thru the lens of my boarding.

We intend to post a few Craigslist Casual Encounters.

[Fourthisto]

I wanna meet a lot of board peeps, but would prefer to do it anonymously as first.
Without them seeing me thru the lens of my boarding. Creepy, but I understand completely. It was weird meeting people I'd only chatted with on a message board the first time I did it, but since then its been totally downhill... people are people, you either get on or you don't. So its basically just like the people on the bus, or a plane. You can either chat or put on your headphones and pretend to sleep while you silently check out the girl across the aisle.

Maybe there should be a special pin that boarders should wear, so we know when another one is near. Or a special handshake.

[PierogiHead]

I just want to go on the record that miSTEVEous sent me a private message entitled "Lets do this!" insinuating that he wanted to have some sort of sick encounter by simply saying "ooh baby ooh baby!"

I can forward it to anyone as well.

[miSTEVEious]

a secret handshake! that'd be super kewl. oh wait...

seriously tho, i imagine it'd be a little weird meeting ppl from the intranets irl. i will be meeting everyone in the camp all alone group tho.

[Egull]

it's bowie and radiohead of course, and by that I mean Uffie.

I just lol'd.

[PierogiHead]

I know you're kidding anyhow haha

Funny none the less.

[HandBanana]

I would hate for other boarders to meet me and realize that I dont actually know any of the animals in my "OH HAI" thread

Nah, that's just my thing. I'm really not that exciting when it comes down to it.

And the rumor waves are hilarious. "a sucker is born every minute"
a very true statement.

[Fourthisto]

pearl jam man.....coachella BORN becasue of Tollet and them, show them some respect, whether you like them or not

[mr powerful]

Check the main site. Under "Event Info Tab" at the bottom it says Pay Later. I saw it this morning and thought I was Trippin... It doesn't work yet though.


Let me correct you. It says that you need to do a 10,000 word essay on Why is Coachella the best festival ever? Then you get your free ticket

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

FOR FUCK"S SAKE! Where did I say FREE ticket? I said there was a "Pay Later" option.

You will all see it within a couple of days I am SURE! A couple of other people saw it too and NO it was not an essay contest!

It was a button that said "Pay Later" when I clicked on it I got the standard 404: Error Message that you get when a webpage or site isn't working.

Whatever it means... Add or No Add; there will be a "PAY LATER" option... me and a few others saw it.

But, honestly a "Pay Later" option isn't going to sell very many tickets a week before the event, but DAVID FUCKING BOWIE would!

[FurtherDownTheRabbitHole]

DAAAAAAMN

it got gay in here for awhile... lolz.
