Anybody think the 3-day pass will sell out

[leprachaun3401]

I was thinking Sunday sold out quick and so did sunday and all these RATM fans are going to be paying 300 dollars just to see RATM and i dont have the money now but will in the near future.

any body think it will selll out within the next week or so?

[alpharuin]

It won't sell out until April.

[C DUB YA]

most likely the 3 day passes will sell out in April (first of April), but who knows.

We don't know if Paul and GV made good on their promise to cut back on attendance, if they did, passes may go quicker.

We don't know if more single days are getting released - more and more - unlikely. The goal is obiously for more 3 day pass sales, this may effect whether people bite the 3 day pass bullet, because it will be the same price, if not cheaper than a single day. And because of that, we don't know How many people are willing to go an extra day that weren'r originally going to?

I wouldn't worry... just yet. PF usually gives a heads up when things become critical, you've got some time as it stands.

[ghettojournalist]

what is the standing on ga numbers for tickets?
like what's the limit?
it's at ga47 right now.

[ghettojournalist]

it has a correlation.
when the sunday tickets were winding down it was at ga 122.
i just want to know if it will be more or less the same number for the 3-day passes.

[C DUB YA]

I don't think it means how many sold, or how many are left, or anything like that.

At least not to us.

I HIGHLY doubt there are 47, 3-day passes left. If that is the case (which its not) there would be MANY MANY unhappy people on here, and a ton of happy people on ebay (that need to eat shit and die). Its crazy how many passes are on there now, as we speak, in fact, its downright scary!

[Montius]

And if the show sells out, prices will go apeshit.

[C DUB YA]

That's the scary part.

Scalpers be damned to hell.

[ghettojournalist]

there is a certain number of tickets attached to one ga number.
when the tickets went on sale, the ga number was at 1.
now it's at 47, meaning they've sold a few thousand passes.

[C DUB YA]

So you are saying they've sold 47,000 passes?

That would be very IMPRESSIVE, and hard to believe at this early stage.

[ghettojournalist]

i don't think it's 1000 per ga.
i think it's in the 300-500 per ga mark.
still quite a number of tickets already gone.

[C DUB YA]

Oh I'm sure - GV had a nice selling strategy this year.

[raultragedy]

i used to work as a CSR for ticketmaster a couple years back, pretty much the break down is this GAXX is the row number, your individual ticket will have a specific seat number. Although their is a correlation with the number and the amount of tickets sold, its not safe to assume they are sold out based on that number. The reason is because it is simply to help the CSR locate specific tickets when people want to try and get a refund or swap their tickets, etc. If i can remember correctly each GA row holds about 50 seats, and after a certain number it restarts at GA1....lol just realized this might not really matter but i hope it helps someone

Yeah but Sunday single days were like GA 127 or something... Do the math...

I think its 100... I have had a ticket say GA2 then seat 95 or whatever after..

[C DUB YA]

Its safe to assume you can't read those numbers unless you really know whats what.

[psychic friend]

haha, ya, and why does it matter? If you have tickets great, if you don't, buy some. end of story.

I think it matters to some people because it's going to take them awhile to get that kind of money together.

Very true, how many people have been asking/complaining over price? Quite a bit...

[Mystagogue]

Yeah. I'm lucky in that I can afford the 3-day pass and also passes for my brother and sister...but I'm looking at almost $900 right there.

If I was younger and not as established, even buying one 3-day pass would be a big investment and something I'd have to save up for. I think their concerns about tickets selling out are justified.

[psychic friend]

people have had months to potentially save up.

[suprefan]

The KROQ audience in general finds out about these things when it gets announced and not really beforehand. Even with the build up it freaked people out. "OMG RAGE!! How come I didnt know!?!?" thats what people are thinking... Yeah most of us veterans have our saving strategies but with people just spending and not saving they get pissed when they see a 3 day pass cost almost $300, but wont hesitate to bid for tickets on e bay... Society is puzzling sometimes..

[rebeldread]

so we're saving up because we're supposed to spend $300 on one weekend? most people can't afford that.

[psychic friend]

ok so most people wont go i guess. it will be an empty festival.

[rebeldread]

oh i'm sure lots of people will spend it...either their parent's money or just because they have no other responsibilities or they're just well off. kinda limits who will be able to go and who won't, doesn't it?

GV could have made this event more accessible. they decided to go with more money. good for them. $$$

[psychic friend]

they decided to go with a 3rd day, sorry.

[arbouler]

ok so most people wont go i guess. it will be an empty festival.

except on sunday

[vinylmartyr]

and sat

[rebeldread]

the 3rd day isn't the problem. the way they made tickets availble is.

[Barbara, the ninja]

I'm using all my job earnings for the three days. 2 of my friends got jobs just for Coachella too, lol. I fronted the money for their tickets and they're gonna pay me later. Friendship, dude! But yeah, 300 is like the Nintendo Wii. That's a lot of money
