this hurts. because I have to see the Atomic Bomb show.... it hurts man... but I've actually been to too many MMJ shows to feel intellectually whole missing a William Onyebear tribute
At least you've seen MMJ!! I've never seen MMJ and I'm gonna end up having to make this choice. I mean, they're coming to Orlando in August, but I just found out today I might be moving to NYC before then anyway. I'm gonna end up going to Onyeabor if I have to choose because I WILL get other chances to see MMJ (probably even at Bonnaroo) but it is highly unlikely I'll get another chance to see Atomic Bomb!
I'm in the exact same boat. But I have tickets to both nights of MMJ here a week and a half after Roo.. So I will be seeing them either way, but Atomic Bomb has easily become a can't miss show for me. Between that and the back to back shows here, it'll be a fairly easy decision for me.
its not a health thing, they just like it better. one doesn't like all the grease of the bacon, and just prefers turkey bacon. don't ask me why. the 3 year old loves bacon in all forms, but prefers the turkey variety if given a choice. plus she isn't very clean so she gets her greasy fingers all over so i'm cool with the less-greasy turkey for that reason.
I only started my love of bacon in the last 5 years or so. Before that I only ate turkey bacon. I just liked it. I actually still like it I suppose. and even now if real bacon is not cooked enough it totally skeeves me out.
Actual line from a published case out of the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals:
They also offered evidence of a single, sensational incident of high-risk behavior committed by two Limestone kitchen workers who engaged in homosexual sex in the kitchen bakery beside a mixing bowl of peanut butter and jelly.
Not a clue how many shows I've seen, and sometimes it's hard to know what even counts as a show (Opening acts? Street buskers? Bar bands? House shows? Between-set DJs?) It's probably in the range of 40-50-ish a year for the past 7 or 8 years, and then maybe 100 all up in the years before that. Which sounds like a lot, but I can knock off half of that amount in a festival weekend.
Buy @ box office in advance = $20 Buy @ the door, day of show = $23 Buy online = $25
How does this make sense?
See, I get why buying in advance is cheaper - fewer advertising costs, more incentive for fence-sitters, blah blah blah. What I don't get is why it should cost more to run Ticketmaster's servers than it does to pay an actual sack of meat and bones and consciousness to sit there and deal with whining customers.
Oh right, because they're Ticketmaster, and they can. They don't have the monopoly here that they do there, but I had to use them the other day for Noel Fielding tix, and was reminded again why I hate them oh so very much. Oh, and they never refunded the handling fees from the first Stones show that got cancelled, which weren't insignificant for a show that spendy. Wankers.

I've been keeping track of every show, including openers since I started going to shows. I even have the setlist for most of them.
I wish I would have done that. I can't even grasp how many I've gone to... I've been going to shows on the reg, since 15. Like every weekend while in high school. That's 24 years and a shit-ton of shows.
I wish I had been keeping track too. There's a lot of stuff I seen, at and outside festivals, I barely remember anymore - if at all. And my first show was only 10 years ago.
My first show was October 30, 2005 - I know that much. A bunch of mediocre rappers down in New Haven. A long way from now, where I got tickets for The Who on Oct. 29th, 2015.

That Who show is my bday. My FIRST concert was Foreigner/Journey in '83 followed by the Stray Cats later that same year. I was only 8.

This actually isn't Ticketbastard. It's called NBO, or Northampton Box Office. I presume they have their own ticketing system out there.
I did happen to find this:
The Northampton Box Office, located at 76 Main Street, Northampton is the exclusive ticket service for IHEG venues. You can get tickets online, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week online here. Walkup or Phone 413-586-8686 during normal Business Hours – Monday-Saturday 10:00am-6:00pm and Sundays 12:00pm-5:00pm All tickets are subject to a service charge on top of the base ticket price, regardless of how you buy them.
For Iron Horse and Pearl Street shows, online and over the phone there is a $5 service fee per ticket. If you purchase Iron Horse or Pearl Street tickets in person at the Northampton Box Office, the service fee varies based on ticket price: $1-$9 = $1 Fee $10-$19= $2 Fee $20-$29 = $3 Fee $30+ = 10% of the ticket price.
For Calvin shows, there is a $1.50 Historic Preservation Fund fee and a $7.00 Service Fee per ticket regardless of how you buy them. If you order your Calvin tickets over the phone or choose to have them mailed online, there is an additional $3 shipping and handling fee for the order.
For Mountain Park Shows, there is a $8.50 service fee + a $2.00 facility fee per ticket regardless of how you buy them. If you order Mountain Park tickets over the phone or choose to have them mailed when you place your order online, there is an additional $3 shipping and handling fee on the order.
There is no way to avoid the service fee. Service fees are required to keep a box office running and staffed.
At least they explain the fees, and they aren't ridiculous like with Ticketmaster. It sucks paying them, but it could be worse (and making no sense whatsoever).
I have never actually been to Roo. Lolla 2014 was my first festival, aside from a Summerfest way, way back where I never actually saw any shows. I can't go to Roo this year, so I'm making a point of it to go in 2016.*
I think I might double the amount of shows I've been to at Lolla 2015 alone (I've got 37 bands added to my Mylolla account right now), and I'm seeing the Who for the second time in May.

I also wish I would've done this. I made a list of everyone I saw last year, sans openers, and i was at 96. Last year was probably my biggest year ever for music, but I've had other years that I've easily gotten into the 60's or 70's. I often forget who I've seen at festivals so I've started buying a t shirt at all of them. But I just started doing that in 2014, 7 years into my festival attendance.

*Do I have to go into exile now? /.5s
Yes, but not from Inforoo. You are exiled from your own home, and you are not to return until you have seen at least 50 shows. I don't care whether that's The Who or some unknown singer-songwriter in a coffeehouse. You have much to learn in the ways of the concert, young padawan.

I've saved ticket from pretty much every concert I've ever attended, which can be a point of shame when the wrong ticket makes its way to the pile. The only radio giveaway I've ever won was front row tickets! ... to creed.

Shame.
It's time like these that we need the thumbs down button back

I was in seventh grade, I became agnostic in the following weeks.
Anyone have any opinions on Jay Z's new streaming service TIDAL? It sounds like a lot of artists may follow Taylor Swift and pull their music off Spotify and make it exclusive to TIDAL. It costs $20 for the premium high fidelity audio and $10 for standard audio streaming (both monthly fees). I'd be interested in actually hearing the difference in quality. But, will people pay $20 every month for this service? I love Spotify but I don't pay for premium, and I don't see myself paying for TIDAL unless an astronomical amount of artists are exclusive to it. Would any of you pay for it?

There is no way that enough artists will leave spotify to make me pay for TIDAL. I feel like many if the members around inforoo, myself included, listen to so many different artists that no matter who moves over to TIDAL, there will still be tons of artists we like on Spotify. Or maybe I'm just a cheap bastard... Really though, I feel like soooo many people just torrent their music that TIDAL is not going to do great, they may do enough to stay afloat, but I really think they main thing they will be doing is just cutting into Spotify's money, but not really making enough to justify this whole new company.

I'm too cheap to pay 5 bucks for spotify without commercials.
Kangaroos have three vaginas. Does that mean they get triple pms? Would make for a great horror flick.
Cut three syllables from each line and you've got one hell of a haiku!
And kangaroos are their own horror flick waiting to happen. Yes, it's true - everything in Australia besides the quokka is, in fact, constantly plotting your demise.
Just look at them... sitting... waiting... plotting... hopping. *shudder*
