2013 early bird tickets?

[theGold]

Can't us long-timers get some sort of guarantee?

Youre onto something... I think after a person attends x # of Coachella's, they should be able to apply for citizenship of sorts, which holds them a spot each year.

[algunz]

Seriously, but how does one prove such a status?

Now that we have the option to register our wristbands, that should be pretty simple. I like the idea, a lot.

[algunz]

But I can't account for my prior 12 years.

[theGold]

Going forward it'll be easy, proving past attendance would be harder but not impossible. It'd have to be a case by case thing... pictures, witnesses, souveniers, specific memories of small details, etc.

Somebody get Paul on the line!

[scenicworld]

Yeah, but at least there is a system in place that can be used going forward. I still have all of my wristbands and ticket stubs (except 2006 since I did the e-tickets), but it doesn't seem feasible to send them in or take pictures with them.

Your orders are also tracked with frontgate as long as you used the same account, so that's something else they can do for the last few years.

[algunz]

I'd love a chance to have a chat with Paul.

Can somebody post a picture? I think I saw him after Madness.

[Neighborhood Creep]

[theGold]

Aww.... he's cute. I dunno why I was expecting him to look like a typical douche-y promoter (sunglasses, tongue sticking out, see Pasquale Rotella).

[Tubesock Shakur]

I heard this was the guy blowing and taping on people in the Sahara.

[algunz]

Ha, I did see him. I should have asked him if he knew who I was.

[menikmati]

I saw him riding the ferris wheel.

[algunz]

He probably didn't have to wait in that ridiculous line.

[Hatinisbad]

But I can't account for my prior 12 years.

you can't be old enough to have gone 12 times

[algunz]

Yes, I am.

Good luck with that

[CrimesceneCookie]

I still have all my stubs, from 03 to 09 and the wristbands, clearly I should be at the front of the line.

[BROKENDOLL]

Fuck you guys, as soon as those cowboys are off that polo field on Monday, I'm heading down and setting up my teepee.

some of us have stubs going back to '99.. get back in line...

[Ambassador of Coachella]

fuck that guy

[frozen pilgrim]

yeah my credit card which this time last year was maxed out due to unexpected dental surgery, is clear and free and waiting to throw down on some layaway passes.

[Somewhat Damaged]

Seriously, but how does one prove such a status?

Possession of booklets from the years you attended? Ticket stubs? Submitting a 5,000 word review of the various years you were there? Plenty of options.
