I wish I had that type of disposable income that I get fucked out of $400 and I’m stuck going to a weekend fest where there is no one I wanna see.
Sea.Hear.Now sold out in 3 days. I wonder how they managed to do it, they dont have a puppet nor a poet!
I noticed there’s not a single ticket for sale on StubHub. I think that’s a good indicator no one has actually bought tickets to this.
I think that has more to do with the fact that at the moment the tickets are not transferrable. At least no that you can put them on the secondary. There is supposed to be a marketplace for this (hasn’t happened yet, shocker I know)
Sea Hear Now in NJ and Sound On Sound in CT are awesomely curated lineups. If only we could get something that good in the actual goddamn city.
I’d buy tickets if John dropped that Jedi video as a Super Bowl ad. Now that would get people talking
Stone Pony Summer Stage is teasing a Yellowcard show this summer. So that kinda squashes any rumors that Yellowcard was the mystery anniversary show at Bamboozle.
I'll lock in the first week of April. And I kinda feel like they'll go against what they've said and try to salvage something via relatively cheap single-day tickets... That will piss people with 3-day passes off.
I know this is hyperbole. But I honestly think the pre-sales are at least in the thousands. Not much. But I wouldn't be surprised to learn there was at least 3-4k who bought tickets well in advance based on the brand. ...2-3.5k of whom probably regret that at this point.
A person in a fb group I'm in is trying to sell her vip pass. I cannot believe someone dropped 900 bucks on that. The hilarious thing is she's like "I decided to go to a local Bowling For Soup show instead"
Yellowcard playing at the Stone Pony Summer Stage will be the final middle finger, especially if that was the final album play that’s now removed.
This isn't really "documentary" level grifting but if it were... And they don't interview people from this thread for it, they would truly be missing out.
The problem is this never had any hype beyond a niche audience. fyre fest sold a shit ton of tickets before imploding. This has probably sold under 10k. to those of us who’ve been following it, it feels just as dramatic, but it just doesn’t carry the same cultural relevance
Their social media is a disaster right now and they haven’t said a word, but keep hyping up literally some of the smallest artists they have playing which has to be some sort of petty retort.
I don't think the festival being "niche" is necessarily what would hold a documentary back. There's plenty of documentaries about niche things that have been pretty successful these last few years. I just don't think there's much of a story to it all. Not yet anyway. John D's delusional and booked a festival with a bad line-up that most people don't seem to want. That's all there is to it. Now, if it turns out the whole "NFT crypto ticket" thing was a scheme of some sorts to avoid refunds? Then maybe... (And to be clear, I don't think that's the case.)
John D is gonna purge all social channels and gaslight us into thinking this festival was never happening at all
I wouldnt be surprised at all if thats his next move. That or maybe he will say hackers took his and Bamboozle social media and even made deep fake videos of him reading comments.
