Sign Here if You're Going to Weekend 2

[captncrzy]

So we know who's going to what.

[sbessiso]

how the fuck am I supposed to decide, I cant even figure out what to watch on netflix

[microcuts]

I would pick Weekend 2 - potentially less crowded.

Fuck being first.

[seyrnon]

less crowded
more time to go over the schedule

[seitron]

Me. Decreased likelihood of logistical or technical problems and likely less crowded. I'll just avoid the forums the week of (that is going to SUCK)

[IggyMeows]

2nd weekend happens to be during 4/20. Skipping out on BroChella and picking the first weekend.

Um, as long as shit like Jack Johnson and Kings of Leon keeps getting booked, every Coachella will be Brochella.

[Miroir Noir]

Weekend 2 should be named "The Deuce" in honor of '90s era ESPN.

[IggyMeows]

Um, as long as shit like Jack Johnson and Kings of Leon keeps getting booked, every Coachella will be Brochella.

Even if Bro-Leaning acts like KoL and Jack Johnson gets booked, bros would now be given two options to see them. It's hard to imagine they won't pick the second weekend.

Ooh, good point. Hadn't thought of that.

[citizenerased]

Leaning towards it.
-Will know who was awesome/disappointing
-Setlists
-4/20
Won't watch any videos though, that would be revealing too much.

[cutterbutter]

What's the logic that one weekend will be less crowded then the other?

[RICKMO]

4/20 at coachella? im in.

[Ravingmad]

I really like the idea of going to the less crowded weekend
I also really like the idea of being able to check this board to find out who was a terrible disappointment and who was awesome and using that as an extra guide to pick between conflicts

but I know that sitting around at home during weekend one knowing coachella is happening may kill me

not 100% decided but I'm leaning weekend 2

[kayeM]

seeing how i am a CPA... this is the obvious choice for me..

Sign here if you have unlimited discipline and can completely avoid the message board and YouTube for a week.

[frizzlefry]

I think we aren't giving the chance of both weekends selling out enough Credit though, I'm sure gv is going to bring in a big headliner ot two to ensure both weekends selling out

so chella 2012b is going to be full of accountants and tax professionals.


SOUNDS LIKE A FUCKING PARTY

[microcuts]

What's the logic that one weekend will be less crowded then the other?

Because everyone seems determined to be the first to experience Coachella 2012, meaning people will understandably flock to the first weekend until that sells out.

And Weekend 2 could sell out. But just because they can comfortably sell out 75,000 tickets does not mean they can sell 150,000. Yes, there's a lot of insane people on this forum that intend on doing both weekends, but I strongly doubt that's indicative of people outside this forum. It's not even a viable option for those who travel from great distances.

[bmack86]

Yeah, looks like my fear is confirmed. I want to go to the second weekend because it will work better with my finals schedule, but it looks like everyone I want to see is leaning toward going to the first one.

[Bumblebee]

What's the logic that one weekend will be less crowded then the other?

Weekend #1 will sellout and #2 will take up the shortfall.

Media attention(guest spots) and surprise factor(both online and those attending both) and fans wanting crack at the "first" reunion type performances. Artists may also have higher adreneline for #1 shows.

I would think that #1 would be a hipper crowd and #2 be more brochella(ie: couldn't get tickets for #1)

[Bumblebee]

2011 wasn't that great a year for US Fest headliners. Is 2012 that more promising?

[Gabbott66]

The second weekend fits my schedule better.

[M Sparks]

2011 wasn't that great a year for US Fest headliners.

US Fest 83 had Bowie, The Clash & U2, but Us Fest 82 had Talking Heads, The Ramones, and The Police. That's a tough call.

[Bumblebee]

I think we aren't giving the chance of both weekends selling out enough Credit though, I'm sure gv is going to bring in a big headliner ot two to ensure both weekends selling out

#2 wil have those that missed out #1, did both and have flu/tired/sunburned/bored deja vu crowd reaction.

Who's a big headliner under 60 who can fill anywhere near that many tickets aside from possibly a rare Radiohead booking?

Having 150,000 tickets/$30m+ budget all on the shoulders of Stones/Bowie/Floyd(ie: old enough to receive pensioner checks) for a gig 9 months out is getting into Michael Jackson London O2 residency territory. AEG/GV hopefully learned their lesson when they had to eat $20mil(?) on that debacle.

U2 would be out of touring cycle and don't do one-offs. Plus they did 100k each at single SoCal venues in 2009 and 2011. Gaga/Madonna don't fit the festival too much and AFAIK Daft Punk have never sold anything bigger than an arena without a support major bill.

Actually, '83 had the most promising Us Festival Headliners

Sat: The Clash
Sun: Van Halen
Mon: BOWIE

[NoNoAge]

If it weren't for the trampled grass, I'd probably go to Weekend #2 because the assumed smaller crowd would be really nice. Having nice grass is a huge a pro, though...

scrubbed this plan and bought weekend 1 instead. Good luck weekend 2 goers
