Whether it's your first Bonnaroo or you’re a music festival veteran, we welcome you to Inforoo.
Here you'll find info about artists, rumors, camping tips, and the infamous Roo Clues. Have a look around then create an account and join in the fun. See you at Bonnaroo!!
It would make more sense for you to ask them to fix their own message board so we wouldn't need to come here at all. Regardless I guess if you don't want active members on a message board for a thread titled "firefly" we can leave. I know you're probably being sarcastic but others generally don't seem to want us here for some reason.
Anyway what a mess, I'll assume the worst until we see otherwise.
In hindsight, I can see why you could take that negatively. That honestly wasn't a dig at any of you guys. If you look back one of the first things I said in this thread was welcolming and telling ya'll to check out the rest of the board.
The only thing Firefly would take from that is me pointing out the fact that they ran off their fanbase to a competing festival's message board. That really says nothing negative about any of you. Plus, it's on Facebook so who really gives a shit?
I hate to break it to you guys, but a few vocal members on here doesn't mean our users have completely abandoned ship. It's a different kind of board, it picks up after the lineup, we're okay with that. And I wasn't kidding about us having more users. It's not dig at all and honestly it doesn't even mean anything. You guys really need to relax. Go for a walk outside or something, good lord. Anyway, I like music festivals and I like it here as well as over there, so I'll probably stop in from time to time.

Dude seriously? Why do you always have to drag us back into this shit? We've moved passed it pages ago if you haven't noticed. Now we're talking about music; you know, the thing we're all interested in. Why don't you go relax and take a walk outside.

Nobody thinks Firefly isn't going to sell out this year (pending approval of Paul McCartney). All anyone has continued to say is that the way Red Frog has handled the whole situation is nothing short of a public relations trainwreck.
Everyone understands unexpected things can happen when finalizing a lineup, but it shouldn't have taken nearly a full week for Firefly to make an official announcement. Red Frog was acting like an ostrich with their head in the sand all week and tossing some free tickets at things doesn't change the fact that it was handled poorly.

Did you skip over the part of my post where I said, ".. it's on Facebook so who really gives a shit?"
Seriously, that whole post was referring to a stupid joke I made on a highly active Facebook page. It means nothing and certainlly wasn't meant as some grand statement of fact. Nobody from Inforoo cares enough about your board to keep track of it's traffic and membership. But let's be real. It's laughable that you ran off enough members to make this thread what it has become. Your unique style of stalking damage control proves your somewhat worried about it. I'm not sure why it's hard for you to understand that this looks bad for Red Frog. Is it the end of the world? No. Will it effect their bottom line? Of course not. It's just another example of their incompetence and that's what I was making fun of.
Do you really think we are surprised that a message board linked on the main page of a festival has more members then a private forum? But you are right, it doesn't mean anything. FYI, Bonnaroo once had their on message board too. It was disorganized and not very helpful. People liked Inforoo better. I'm glad you like it here Hope you hang around.

FWIW, I didn't abandon the firefly board. Nobody is saying anything on there so I'm here. When the firefly board picks up, I'll be active over there, but I'm sure I'll still be on here too. I was always pretty active on the FF board. Much of the negative things Ive said has been sarcasm, just like everyone else in here. But there is underlying truth that the board layout is messy, and that activity is extremely low. That's all, the end.
Maybe next year? Supposedly, they began working on a new album last year.
Firefly 2016 Pearl Jam - Phoenix - Arcade Fire
While that would be totally rad, it's bound to happen sometime between 2020 and never, unfortunately . Festivals would take one of the names off and replace it with a Lil Wayne or Drake or Nicki Minaj........or a Migos or an Aoki.

Substitute any of them with Muse, The Strokes, or Green Day

As much as we agree that Phoenix is capable of headlining, I have a feeling they wouldn't be top 3 unless: a) the #1 act is huge (someone like Bruce), or b) the new album comes out well before June 2016 and is a huge commercial success. Unless either of those two happens, I think they're a 4/5. I could potentially see a top four of Pearl Jam - Arcade Fire - Mumford - Phoenix if Arcade Fire and Phoenix are touring in 2016. I think we have a good chance of seeing Mumford next year because they would be a huge draw at Firefly.

Arcade Fire is the Daniel Day-Lewis of bands, they only work when they have something really good and it's gonna win a lot of awards, I don't see them getting out another album before June 2016 seeing they released Reflektor in Oct 2013
I don't think so personally. They wouldn't have announced to give away the tickets "for every day until the lineup is announced" if there was any chance it was coming today. I think Monday at the earliest but probably Tuesday.
It's the weekend, everyone is busy getting things doe rather than bored at work hitting refresh on their browsers. People are less likely to retweet the poster when it comes out, which means less publicity for the fest. Tomorrow is the Superbowl.
If they're scrambling to get things done, why rush to complete things over the weekend rather than ensure everything is 100% nailed down?
I think the earliest we see it is Monday, unfortunately.
I miss when their facebook was being overrun with outrage. Watching people shamefully/desperately beg to be thrown a freebie they have barely any chance of getting is kind of sad.
At least I had the decency to beg for tickets creatively. I posted this:
I’ve just seen a fest I can't forget I had the best Time of my life It’s just the place for me And I want all the world to see This fest, fly fly fly firefly #firefly2015 @firefly_music_festival paul_mccartney
People posting pictures of themselves begging for tickets is super cringy
Ugh I agree. It's disheartening to see what an intelligent species can be reduced to.
Back to the line up. I'm not sure if anyone here feels the same but an act like massive attack, zero 7, telepopmusik or similar "trip hop" vibe would be pretty awesome in my opinion.

I don't know Saving $250-$320 would make me to stupid shit too.

I mean is that even how they've determined who wins..they just randomly pick someone's comment and give them tickets?

Agreed. All the sass is gone from the FB page, no fun at all.
And uhhh I really really doubt we get the lineup before Monday. They might make many illogical/frustrating PR decisions, but would they really choose to release it on a Saturday or Superbowl Sunday?
Considering you've found the need to respond to my threads as if you are threatened by me I offer you some peace my confused counterpart. May you find peace in your restless soul.
