Treasure Island Music Festival 2008

[Wheres the beef?]

Of course I don't think that. I live in San Diego though, if there are enough bands I want to see, it would save me a lot of money to not have to get to SF.

Oh dude. How sick would a Coronado Island Festival be?

[Sonicifyouwantit]

Saturday is looking good, Id get a single day ticket for that.

[send me ctrpllrs]

Oh dude. How sick would a Coronado Island Festival be?

I can't think of where it could go, but that would be cool.

[fikus222]

I can't think of where it could go, but that would be cool.

They'd have jets doing flybys and it would be awesome.

I went to the '07 Yuri's Night and it was held at the NASA AMES facility in Mt. View. There were even Federal Police acting as security in the venue (they were cool), it was in a hangar and there were jets that you could walk up to.

Hahahahahahahah.

The rich bastards whose houses line the shore and line Seaport Village would complain and fuck everything up.

Also, could you imagine the traffic? Oh my god.

[SFChrissy]

My weekend just became available so yayyy I'm getting my ticket next thursday!!!

[superfiction]

i think im gonna try and go. i think id drive if i do though but im pretty sure i will have started school by then so it could be tough

[Wheres the beef?]

Last year was so rad. This year is going to be so much better.

[Geno_g]

Im stoked, it's like a Coachella replay

[Boourns]

Hmmm. Any carpools from LA for this?

[Ardentbiscuit]

This is a cool line up..I can't figure out which one I like better, this or Monolith.
I want to go to one but not both.

As for carpooling from LA, try Southwest airlines. I got tickets 53 each way for the Outsidelands and they weren't at 6 or 7 am amazingly.

[Boourns]

After taxes and fees, it ends up being $144 round trip. Still not bad. And cheaper than Amtrak, Plus $120 for three nights at a hostel plus $99 for the ticket plus God knows how much for taxi to and from the airport. Hmm.

[bmack86]

Just take BART into the city and then bus around. You don't need a taxi.

[Boourns]

Will that work if I arrive late Friday night? I know LA buses are worthless after 10pm. But SF is a better city so I'm assuming so.

[bmack86]

BART doesn't run extremely late, so that'd be a concern, but I've bussed around San Francisco at night and there hasn't ever been a problem. I took the bus from Slim's to the Mission district where I had parked at around 3 AM, so they'll still be running. I'd say look at a schedule online.

[scoop49er]

for the price and location, its a perfect setting and has good up and coming bands so im there....

[BlackSwan]

still Justice headlining = WEAK

You can take BART from SFO/OAK airports!!!

[Boourns]

Good to know. But I'm still looking at almost $400 to attend after airfare and hostel. I really want to see Raconteurs, Justice, Goldfrapp, CSS, Okkervil River, Spiritualized, TVOTR, but a lot of these acts will be in LA shortly after (conflicting, naturally). But on the other hand, it looks like an awesome location for a festival. So I dunno. If it weren't for airfare, I'd definitely go. Or if someone rare and awesome gets added.

[fiyahhh!]

presale starts tomorrow. password = sunset

is this really needed? im looking to pick up just a sunday ticket, and ill probably wait until sometime in august to do it.

[chiapet]

I think at least one day did sell out eventually last year, didn't it? Not sure.

[garrett222]

[Geno_g]

I still deciding if I'm gonna go, I need my friend to say he's down, then I'll go, otherwise I might just go for one day

[Sushov23]

been catching up on this thread...

I'm very excited for this, definitely going both days. last year I went only day one, and regret not going both days.

is there any word yet on whether the independent will be selling tickets without service charge? last year they did that, but they didn't announce it for a while -- until a week after I had bought my ticket from ticketmaster, it turns out.

also very interested to see additions. "the total number of performers will be 28 over the two-day event", the initial announcement said. that's a few more than last year -- will they be starting earlier, I wonder?

[shakermaker113]

to answer my own question -- the treasure island web page now says the following:

Single Day tickets are available for purchase at The Independent box office located at 628 Divisadero St, SF.
Box office hours are 11 AM - 6 PM, Monday thru Friday. The box office is also open on show nights.
Available as a cash only purchase with a $2.00 service charge

I'm not sure if that was always there and I missed it, or if that is new. it's only really an advantage if you are just going for a single day though.

buying for both days from the independent:
single day ticket $65 x 2
service charge $2 x 2
total: $134

buying for both days from ticketmaster:
two day ticket $115 x1
service charge $17.70 x1
order processing $4.40 x1
total: $137.10

so you'd save $3 by going to the box office. if you're only attending one day, go for it, but I just ordered my two day pass. :-)

[suprefan]

Well that kind of sucks, you couldve bought em at an outlet and saved another 5 I imagine and not have to wait to get them in the mail. But yeah, why only sell singles at the Independant?
