nope stupid thing I was in line for it as soon as i saw they went on sale.  They did this line thing this year so it took forever to load.  I got to tickets page and entered two tickets.  I put in captcha but it was wrong I entered again and it sold out.

Had several folks go in just about as soon as it went live and none got tix.  It was easier gettin' tix to the Matador 21st Vegas weekend....

I was hoping I would have a lucky week with GA for LCD at MSG and then two tickets for this.  But no... great, just great

Havent found anyone yet who scored them. I was in on that stupid line and then it just froze. A couple minutes later it said it was sold out. The whole thing seemed really screwy this year.

It was nearly as bad as LCD tix at MSG - but I think that was even worse. On the board - theyre saying there were only 700 tix this year available. (that was according to someone on the phone for frontgate). If thats the case - well it was damn near impossible :(

Btw - does anyone know the price on the next set of tix on sale 4/5? Im hearing 185$ but at that price Id rather know the line up.

yup, it's 185.  I don't think there should be any service fees either.  I'm going to jump on those before those damn things sell out  ;D

i think ill just wait for the small bands to hit up nyc and check out them since as of now most the headliners arent appealing enough to spend $180 (plus hotels/airfare, etc). Ill save $$$ for SXSW next year!

Good luck with the early bird tix! Hope they dont sell out in mere minutes.

oh they won't sell out that quickly I don't think.  If they do the next bump is $215 and thats the final which isn't too bad.  I've got my stay set, still need to get my plane ticket.  Lolla is always a fun time  ;D

Have you out of town festival goers noticed how much airfares have gone up in the last year? Holy Christ.

yeah; its affecting my decision much more on whether to go or not. Although I was happy to see a CA round trip ticket for $249. I did see Chicago was quite pricey :(

I do love Chicago - so Ill most likely just make a trip out there when Lolla isnt going on.

Yeah, I've noticed the fares have gone up a lot.  It's twice the amount to fly to Chicago this year compared to last  ;D

The early bird tickets sold out fast this morning.  I was able to grab one before the price went up to the next level  ;D

Unreal.  Early bird tickets, which used to last for weeks, sold out in like 20 minutes.  As pointed out, though, regular price is $30 more.  The golden tix are the real deal...

wow.  i'm really surprised they sold out that quickly.

what is up with festivals these days?  a few years back, you needed a really big attraction to sell out a festival, ex: RATM @ coachella, radiohead @ lolla.  nowadays it seems like all festivals are selling out regardless of how "big" the lineup is.  where is this demand coming from?

I'm confused.  There's this much excitement for Eminem and the Foo Fighters?!!?!?!

Wow!  2001 called......

Imagine if someone relevant or exciting played!
