I'm guessing that you are referring to the Adele tickets today. For big events with high demand for tickets, there is some shady shit going on right now with ticketmaster. Depending on the show/artist/venue, a certain allotment of tickets are held back and given to different groups to sell. So really only about 10-50% of tickets are actually available to the general public during on sale. And of that percent, the general public is up against people using bot software that allows them to do multiple searches and make multiple purchases with multiple ticketmaster accounts & credit cards at the same time. It's pretty fucked. People that miss out on tickets end up running to stub hub and paying 2-10x cost for a ticket. That's not what you do though. Wait until the week of the show, when they get desperate to offload the ones they couldn't sell. Then you can end up scoring one for face or less.
I've been told there is actually a similar system in use when a new line of Jordans come out. Tickets and sneakers will bankrupt a man.
Yep Adele. Christmas gift for my mom because Adele. Anyway I tried for both nights in Denver; no luck. Ended up geting a regularly priced ticket for Staples Center after almost two hours in the waiting room. Definitely seemed shady. I just kept thinking I know there's gonna be people week of that get on Craigslist and are like "please take my ticket!" 2 hours was my limit for waiting and it came through on the wire.
Wasn't Pearl Jam supposed to sort all this shit out in the 90s?
So, PJ your page says Nashville, but not when. Gap between Perth Jun 4th and Baltimore two weeks later = Bonnaroo open. Bonnaroo not officially confirming. Reddit this morning shows photo of Bridgestone arena and says not here, Nashville, but says Bonnaroo. I'm betting Nashville = Bonnaroo. Maybe both?

The photo was originally posted here on the headliner thread. An inforooer emailed the arena asking if Pearl jam was still playing there and response was no they chose to play Bonnaroo. They then posted the email response here with all of the persons contact info. There's no NDA because the arena is not associated. The girls Facebook and linkin both confirm she works there, someone called and verified it. Take it as you will.
ive never even seen a cop inside the fest let alone had any trouble. my only run it was last year while playing lasso golf by the water a cop was riding by and gave me shit for a miss so i called him out to take a shot and he did, good times.
???
You gotta be dangerously unobservant to have never seen a cop in there.
I think most festival goers are painfully unaware of how to spot an undo. They are really obvious if you know what to look for, and they are all over the place at Hangout. Pulling bullshit like "hey man do you have a bowl?", which can lean an unsuspecting rube trying to be nice to getting a distrubution charge and having their life fucked.
I love people like Beach Bob saying "you're not chill, not the fest for you brah" shit. Sch'mon with it. We're from the area, I've known my entire life to watch my ass in Baldwin County because they have been fucking people forever. My Dad used to get hassled there in the 60's, doing nothing, getting shookdown in a late night Kangaroo Court.
I love music more than the next guy, and going to concerts and fests is a huge part of my life and I just want people to have a great time and to be safe. Nothing wrong with letting people know what the deal is in advance so they can make more informed decisions. Harm Reduction'd.

Love you too Sarge. Stupid is as stupid does. I see cops all over the place at Hangout, Bonnaroo, concerts, stadiums, and wherever drunks and drugs are popular and present. That is the way the laws have worked for us. Play the game, pay the price. Want drugs legal, go vote. You don't have to be from Lower Alabama to figure this out. I've got friends who have done 11-29, pulled out of Hangout security and had their stash taken away. If folks don't enjoy Hangout, don't go. Doubt you or anyone on Inforoo really changes their minds. Sgt. Blotter calling someone out for alleged Microagression sounds reall chill.
VC - thanks for all that Reddit, recon, etc., on PJ. Bottom line...PJ at Bonnaroo is likely. PJ at Nashville is not likely this tour.
I don't drink, I only smoke the corn, but I am always aware of my surroundings. I personally haven't been to Hangout, but I have heard about security and po-po on the scene. I think that some festivals are worse than others, but regardless of your vice, if you are in public doing illegal things, then you must always be aware of your surrounds. That is key to any environment. The problem is people are dumb and think it is ok to just do whatever. I will add though, that I feel that at all the festivals and concerts I go to they aren't really looking for pot. There are much bigger fish to fry especially with the way the country is going with legalization and decriminalization.
So do we have a more concrete list of PJ's supposed tour dates? Can't do Roo and I'm just hoping I can catch them somewhere close and cheap. The Alt Nation rumors are all east coast and in the south which makes me pretty pissed.
spot on. when po po's start confiscating my flask inside the gates after i went through the trouble to sneak it in maybe ill join the club.
Good on you for getting a flask into Hangout. I only went in Sunday this year and they searched me so hard, they def would have found it.
I bring a flask of Captain Morgan to most public places too. I might have to just start using one of those bags I can put in my crotch since everywhere is searching so hard it seems.
see i dont do any drugs and i can handle my liqour so i never have problems inside or feel the need to be able to spot an undercover.
Ohhhh I get it, just because you don't then other people don't matter? Your #drugshaming is a microaggression against marihuana addicts.
Have you seen Reefer Madness???? No way I'm going to risk shooting a man to catch a buzz braah. (Sarcasm)
Pot laws are dumb but it is Bama. Vote for Bernie Sanders to change that. Has anyone seen "cops on roofs with rifles?" That is what is being thrown around the reddit site. By the way....the dude that started that rant is a freshman in college and may not be old enough to buy cigs.
I think my beef is there seems to be this idea that BECAUSE of the Hideout Music Fest, cops were being extra cautious to fuck people over for drug possession. Why would you be laxed about that? Unless your in Colorado, Washington, Oregon or Cali, Id be extra cautious no matter where Im in. Even Austin which is more liberal but you dont know who you will encounter.

This is totally true. I lit up during ZBB last year and had that hog leg shot right out of my fingers. Ruined my joint and the chic next to me took one in the shoulder, but all in all I thought it was a good balance of enforcement while not over policing.

i went 2-3. the guy on the first day had to feel it a little bit, he searched me good but nothing for me to really complain about like the rest of the days but somehow he missed it. The 2nd day my junk was basically grabbed and it was found. the last day i was forced to be creative after being violated the day before I had that shit in the middle of my grundle using the bathing suit net to balance it just enough lol.
Cops on the rooftops is definitely a thing. Primus 2011 I saw them up there with binoculars and telescopes watching the crowd. They would spot people doing things then radio to the ground and leos would go into the crowd and grab people out. I saw this firsthand. I've also seen them on rooftops near the entrances watching for people adjusting things in line and right after they get inside.
All of this aside, the first two Hangouts were truly fucking epic and some of my all time favorite concert memories.
Been done left after 6 fer 6. I'll go back next year if Florence is on Sunday. If the preparty looks good I'll def check that out. I drove back to Mobtown after Sunday last year and saw zero cops, it was very surprising. I didn't drink either so it wasn't a big deal. Saw lots of impaired drivers on the road which sketched me out at times though.

www.concertboom.com/pearl-jam/tour-dates/ This link was pretty informative and included schedule if you scroll down to the bottom. Not sure how legit, but seems logical. Ticketmaster isn't posting any ticket sales yet.
I won't lay down $450 for a Roo ticket just to see Pearl Jam. I will park cars for a couple days to get a pass though.
Lol. Cops at Hangout have been hit and miss. There have been years of limited enforcement and years of roaming K9s. Just the same, you can usually do whatever you want without too much hassle. But I have seen some obnoxious enforcement there too. I was at the back of the Boom tent one year and this guy lights up a gar. Cop asks him, "is that one of those good ones?" Guy tells him yes, and cop gets interested and moves in only for him to explain its an actual fine cigar. Haha. Last year of two, they have been a little more reasonable, but it's still Baldwin County. No two fests are the same and most generally reflect their locales. Nobody is getting arrested at Jazzfest. Wakarusa doesn't have police once you get in. Buku arrests only "workers". SoSMP has cops and undercovers and will arrest. Bonnaroo as well, but it's low hanging fruit there. It really just depends. And for those who keep shit chill, it's remote that anyone is going to care. Same goes for Hangout, although it troubles me that they are banning e joes this year. A lot of people have taken to those to kick their cigarette habits, and it's unfortunate that all such devices are alleged to be banned this year. It's likely my last year anyway, so Idgaf about the future. But it's still Dick of them.
Funny as heck. City officials, po po plus, came to our high school and we were brought into the auditorium like inmates to watch the movie. Everybody went crazy laughing and acting up. It was like the most amazing promotional stunt for reefer ever.
"I don't want much of nothing at all, but I will take another toke" Thanks Charlie D.

You know I'm from the coast when this is what first popped in my head when I read 'gar.' lulz
That is ridiculous about no e-dicks at Hangout next year. I hadn't heard that. Gonna make non-smokers have to inhale more nasty cig smoke. Rather have people like Longinus blowing fruti pebbles vape in my general area.

I have seen people get arrest at Jazzfest, but they were on PCP and running around naked and it was like 10 years ago. We didn't see any cops really at Bonnaroo, but I also do VIP and I hear that they are mostly in the GA tent area. IDK if that is true or not.
I hate that they are banning the e-cig, but I get why. So many vapers look like e-cigs that it is too hard to distinguish between the two. Jeremy only vapes and it is a hassle to smuggle in his vape.

LOL, no shit, how could any kid not want to smoke after watching that?

Hahahahahahahah what?
I like to get schwill'd. I bring my flash to shows and if I'm going out and about.
a.) Fuck buying expensive drinks constantly. That's money taken out of my concert ticket budget. b.) You can't buy drinks everywhere, so BYOB. C.) Flea Market bloody marys are pretty crucial.
Waka had cops now that I remember....but only for extreme cases like:
Man on PCP running in and out of food vendors tents and requiring 10 people to hold him down during STS9.
Wookie in a tree 60 ft high naked rocking out to Black Tiger Sex Machine at 6am.
Cops were nowhere to be found at Waka 2010 on Thurs night. I was in Satellite Camp and walked down the mountain instead of waiting 3 hrs for a bus since they only had one. Came up on a guy climbing straight up the fucking cliff carrying his buddy that was on GHB and fucking fell off like 20-30 ft!! Buncha looky-loos standing around not helping. I pulled them up and we carried the guy for a while before I was able to stop an SUV and force the guy to take the guy to the med tent at the bottom.
Pretty serious first impression for a festival lol I hope that guy was okay.
