What does "jump the shark" mean?

It's from the show "Happy Day's". A popular show that pressed for one show where the Fonz jumped a shark on water ski's. They worked up so much for the one event when it was over the showed died because people felt they'd done it all....and the show ended.

Yea dude...you sound like you don't care 1 bit....LOL....you sound like a 10 year old who didn't get his toy. You wanted to wait...but you lost out...that's exactly what happened.

Fact is I was a first year attendee in 2012 and loved it. I paid for VIP cause I can and although, to me, it was worth it, it was stupid expensive to buy anything. I don't think Pearl Jam ever thought that you would have to pay $12 for a Ruth Chris steak sandwich (with condiments only available by way of plastic squeeze packages). Or bottle service would be available in a special roped off area (within VIP) if you committed to pay exorbinate prices to elbow up next to the Winkelvoss's in the Rose Garden. I seen the kids line up 30-40 deep just for free water. How is that fair? I handed out free water all weekend and bought lots of beers for kids who were much appreciated. It should be the same expierience for all. That was the original intention.

There is no excuse for making pre tickets available one year in advance and then selling out the allotment in 2 hours. Inexcuseable. The people that need to pay in installments are for all truth and reason the real Coachella lovers. Many, but not all of the rest are posers. I went for the music and loved my time there, but not again. Been there, done that, got the $45 Radiohead Tshirt.

So you went in 2012 of all years and NOW think it has jumped the shark because they did a presale two weeks earlier than last year's presale and it sold out because of how popular it is?

I love this fucking thread every year.

So GV forced all of us to buy tickets to the event 11 months in advance? No wonder my ass is so sore from this mornings events.
The real sucker is the person who pays for "VIP" whether they can afford it or not.

Yeah fuck GV for selling out in 2hrs.

I think you've shown that you are the poser fool.

[chbludevil]

What a sad bitter old man you are, I feel sorry for your son. If you were my dad I would have been fucking pissed to have to spend the whole weekend with you. The reason you have so much animosity right now is probably because he ditched your loser ass to go do drugs with cool people and forget about what a prick of a father he has.

[tigermilkboy]

And lastly...

Why is Coachella any more different than those 2 venues other than the bands played there first?

Well Coachella is in California which means anyone in that area and AZ, NV, CO, NM etc, it is their closest major music festival. But a lot of people live in California, so why would they go elsewhere?

But you are acting like a bit of a trakball.

You weren't even there when Fonzy jumped his bike the first time, who the fuck are you to judge qualitative changes in the festival?


And who gives a fuck what Pearl Jam think about a $12 sandwich? Do you? They'd probably think you the fool for paying for it, I sure do. Spicy pie or die, bitch.

[Ardentbiscuit]

I think it's every band and festival organizers dream to eventually "Jump the Shark" whether they admit it or not.

I'm just hoping there's a Walmart in the next Coachella!

I'm sorry, I'm a complete idiot and am confused. Are people who pay in full during presale not real Coachella lovers, because money corrupts all who touch it and causes universal bad music taste? Or are all Coachella lovers for truth and reason? Is Kant the only true Coachella lover? Please answer all of these questions for me, I'm dying to know and might do something stupid in the meantime.
