Weenie Roast?

[Blinken]

If they go onsale next Thursday or Friday it will kill the scalpers.

Sometimes, people will still go crazy and pay whatever money they want, the time frame is just shorter, so the market price would drop fast cause they wanna offload their tickets.

[Rats!]

If they go onsale next Thursday or Friday it will kill the scalpers.

No it won't. Ticketfast + 1-day eBay auctions. It'll be like Almost Acoustic xmas all over again, where even the worst seats go for 2x face.

Holy fuck.. that is the 1997 line-up.. It looks almost like a Coachella wet dream.. especially for all being in one day.

[instinct]

Why does everyone hate scalpers so much? Shit, it's such a great way to make money..

Coachella 07 was a GOLD MINE.

[instinct]

Then they will release them on Friday at 5pm... Guaranteed.

Because they're annoying and they don't do anything but profit off another person's work with not a single ounce of integrity or personal drive.

[Sushov23]

there is SOME personal drive that goes into scalping, but yeah they COMPLETELY lack integrity and there is one word to describe them, and that is SCUM or DELTA whatever works best.

What is the difference between scalping and buying something for wholesale re-selling it? Fuck, this board must be filled with communist..

Scalping shouldn't be illegal, it's bullshit. I buy tickets along with everyone else, if someone is willing to pay twice the value of something, and I am willing to sell it, I don't see a problem. Same thing goes with prostitution. Scalping is also risky.. It is not guaranteed.. I almost lost money with Rock the Bells last year, and expecting an instant sell-out, but since they moved it to Glen Helen, it gave room to sell a lot more tickets. Luckily, TM gave me a refund because the change of the venue.

I don't have a problem with people selling the extra tickets that they already have for whatever the market will bear. I ended up with an extra ticket to the Led Zeppelin show in London last December, and the price I got for it paid for my air travel.

What I do hate are professional scalpers. The guys who hang around the entrance to sold out shows, buying up every single spare ticket, then turning around and trying to sell them for 3x what they paid.

I gained a new hatred for professional scalpers at the Atmosphere show this past Tuesday. I didn't have a ticket, so I decided I would just go anyway (five minute drive from my house) and try to buy somebody's spare. I got there just in time to see some woman handing over a ticket to this man and being handed money in exchange. It looked like the guy gave her about $40 for the ticket, which is just a little over face value.

That same guy tried to turn around and sell me the ticket for $100.

I was so angry. If I had gotten there a few minutes earlier, I could have had this woman's ticket for a decent price. But thanks to this piece of shit, I didn't get to see Atmosphere.

wow...

the farther down you go on that lineup the shittier and shittier it gets...




...and i don't hate scalpers, they provide a needed service... but i want to slit the throat of the scalper from coach weekend that sold us two hardcopy tickets that were no good...

[GauchoGuy17]

Still no word on tickets, huh?

This is kind of a ridiculous way to go about doing this. I didn't see anything wrong with Weenie Roast's old setup. Simply get a much bigger venue (Angel Stadium? Dodger Stadium? Staples Center?) and put the tickets up for sale way in advance. There's really no reason for a lineup with this much drawing power to be playing a venue as tiny as Irvine.

The way it's currently structured, you don't even get the lineup until two weeks in advance, and no one knows if they can go or not. Most people I know like to plan things in advance; this setup is completely not conducive to that at all.

Mostly seated, there is also a GA pit.

[GauchoGuy17]

I signed up for Street Team a few weeks ago. So I should be expecting an e-mail with the password to buy the tickets pretty soon then?

Rocke, fortunately I will NOT be attending this vomit fest, I will be in Texas getting my face fucked by Radiohead. I'm just trying to help those who really want to go to said vomit fest out.

That is nice of you. Maybe someone will grab a recording of the webcast for you while you are in Texas.

I can only pray that someone would do that for me in return... I can't believe I'm going to miss The Buttspring and Shittywise.

[tessalasset]

im going. for the last three bands.

The Buttspring and Shittywise? Seriously?

[ThomThom]

The Buttspring and Shittywise? Seriously?

Dead serious.

[GauchoGuy17]

Just got the password in an e-mail from KROQ Street Team. I'm not sure, but this password seems pretty generic. There are no numbers, and it's one easily recognizable word. There may only be one password for everyone. If this gets confirmed, that means that non Street Team members (and possibly non L.A. residents) could buy tickets with the password.

Thom Thom, thanks for all your help. Even if Buttspring and Shittywise suck, Metallica, The Raconteurs and Bad Religion should rock the house.

I don't know what I'm going to do during Seether's set though. I always change the station when their songs come on. Maybe I'll go buy a beer or something.
