Who's NOT going to Langerado cause of the high prices?

This is a tough desicion. How much is good music worth? Let's see...$120./ticket, $65./camping per person, not per site, about another $120. in round trip fuel, and I can't even camp in my camper. Of course the other side of the coin should be smaller crowds, and the opportunity for a more intimate experience with the artists. But, will that also translate to fewer vendors, cause they figure no one has any money left over after ticketing so why try and vend? Will there also be fewer guerilla vendors cause they also figure that their profit margins are going to be too thin after expenses, to make it worthwhile taking the chance? Or, maybe everyone will be charging exhorbitant prices for things to offset their expenses. Are we going to be in an endless vortex of money going from our pockets into a black hole? This should be an interesting Langerado.

 

if you dont go, you'll never know the answers to these questions. and if you do go, and it sucks, you can btich, everyone needs a good reason to bitch

 

Actually, 'Twas there last year. SCI headlined and we had awesome drum circles in the campground with fire hooping and poi. In fact, members of former Ft. Lauderdale's (now in Asheville) Jerrod's Door, as well as members of Miami Beach's community drum circle showed up in the campground to drum both Friday and Saturday night. Will the $65/person campground fee be imposed upon them as well? If so, that probably rules out any inpromtu musical collaborations in the campground.

Yes?...no?...insert opinion here---------->

 

I think , and sad to say.that festivals are becomming big business....people are begininning to realize that there is money to be made where thousands of hippies gather.you can feel it.

 

Festies ARE big business and like any business they can charge only what the market will bear. In this case, the market is priced such that this consumer will only be attending on Sunday and spending only the $65 cost of a day pass. They f*%k'd up on getting me there for both days by being greedy and charging each person extra for camping, when every other festival includes camping in their ticket price. I'll get to hear Tinsely Ellis in a Tampa club tonight, then drive five hours through the night to Langerado, sleep from about 5am till noon there, and still have energy to catch G.Love, Robert Randolph, Keller, and Black Crowes on Sunday. So, $65/day pass is all that they're getting out of me. I feel better now, that I have released all of that frustration. Besides, I have to go. All of my friends are already there. Yes, I really do have friends.
