V-Fest Prediction / Wishlist

[Cali]

he doesn't understand why VIP tickets are sold only in pairs ... He only needs one and when you're talking that kind of money I'm not sure why he can't just have one... [/QB]

quite a few people want to know the answer to this one.

vfest prediction: seth will set the schedule according not to business needs nor fans' wants - instead, his kids will dictate who goes on when.
 
 oh, wait, it's  been confirmed  :p
 
 

Whatever the type, organizers have to create a personality for the festival to set it apart from the competition. "You really have to distinguish yourself from the others if you want to draw people from out of your area," says Seth Hurwitz, concert producer for Baltimore's Virgin Mobile Festival.
 
 Hurwitz likes to create interesting moments within each day, whether that's having Bob Dylan lead into Kanye West's set or asking a Beatles cover band from Japan to back Chuck Berry.
 
 Creating a festival schedule is a balancing act, always giving people something interesting while not splitting an audience by booking similar acts at the same time.
 
 "I use my kids as a barometer," Hurwitz says. "They want to see Nine Inch Nails, Stone Temple Pilots and Kanye West. Even though those bands are pretty much closing the stages that day, we've worked it out where you could see all three if you wanted to."

I would hope the schedule can come out soon for this event.
 
  Its really going to make or break my decision to go.  Lollapalooza's schedule is out way early, i think Vfest should be too!!
 
  Putting the sched out 1 week in advance doesnt allow me enough time.
 
   Perhaps i'm alone but i hope to see it out before July.

VIP tickets are sold in pairs because each pair comes with one  
 premium parking spot.  We can, however, sell single VIP tickets  
 (without parking).  They can be purchased at the Merriweather Box  
 Office or by emailing GroupSales@930.com.

Seth, should we go ahead and expect set times around the same time as last year?

[serpent boy]

And Seth, are we going to get any additions other than the Book the Band winner?

Is Seth joking about these bands or is this for real?  Live is already playing in Baltimore Aug 5, so would it make sense for them to play again on the 9th or 10th.
