Amanda Barrett4 said:Oh man, seriously?! Does anyone know if there are still any tickets left floating around somewhere? I’m running a little bit short on cash at the moment—nothing crazy, just trying to budget—so I’m looking for something in the ballpark of $250... any leads?$100?
Oh, you bet! You can find them in places like the Mall of America—it’s everywhere! $130 So, here’s the deal on the price—it’s $340 if you just shoot over a text from your T-Mobile US number, but it drops down to $290 if you're a student! Honestly, having that student ID really pays off, doesn't it? It looks like that little discount makes a pretty big difference! 😬 But just a heads-up—this deal only runs through March 17th, and that’s assuming they don't run out of stock before then! Who knows? It might be gone in a flash!
shadowdrifter6 said:I honestly don't get why people feel like they can't just speak their minds! If we’re being real—and I mean *really* honest here—this year's lineup is actually pretty mediocre compared to what we saw last year. Most of these bands have played everywhere recently, while other huge acts can barely even pack out a venue like Madison Square Garden! Look, say whatever you want, but when you factor in the ticket price + the cost of drinks and food + travel and hotels if you aren't living right here in Washington, D.C.—it adds up to a massive amount of cash! People want at least two or three more names that actually carry some weight, you know? Names that actually *mean* something! So, yeah, my critique stands. At this rate, I think it'll be a struggle to even pull in 4,000 or 5,000 people. Though, if I'm being totally blunt... those attendance numbers from last year—those 15,000 to 20,000 figures—felt incredibly inflated to me anyway!
I mean, let’s be real here—Massive Attack was the only act that actually pulled in a crowd of 9,000 to 10,000 people! Can you believe it? 🙄
Look, I’m gonna be real with you—your estimates are way off base! Seriously, you're barking up the wrong tree here!
Alright, I'm dropping some full copy-pastes from just the last two pages here—specifically where...
So, I want to hear from you guys—what’s actually on your minds? Don't hold back! I'm dying to know what you all are thinking about lately!:

March 17th is creeping up on us, and honestly? I’m holding my breath! I am desperately expecting to see at least two or three massive, heavy-hitting headliners announced before then—otherwise, this whole thing is going to be the absolute last dud from this festival series. We need some real star power, don't you think?👎
Hey, sladokusac! Looking at that lineup—who actually has a shot at pulling this off? Come on, spill the secrets before everyone burns through their cash on tickets they might regret!
Elizabeth Clark57 said:Honestly, I’m sitting this one out—I just don't feel like dropping that kind of cash on Rammstein, you know? And if we're being totally real, I wouldn't even be down to pay more!
Honestly, looking at this lineup... man, it is absolutely worth it! Don't you think? $100Honestly, looking at how many people actually snapped up tickets this year... man, it’s such a bummer! It feels like a total tragedy that the lineup is so much weaker than what we saw last year. Seriously, if you ask me? This whole thing feels like a cheap, watered-down knockoff of Lollapalooza. Is it just me, or did they really miss the mark this time around?

Seriously, what’s the point? Even without those posts, it’s pretty obvious to everyone that people aren't thrilled with the lineup—which happens every single year! That's why you only see maybe 10,000 to 15,000 people show up out of, I don't know, a million people living in the Washington, D.C. metro area.
Posts like that
1.) don't actually contribute anything useful to the conversation
2.) aren't fun at all—in fact, they're just annoying to those of us who are genuinely excited about the festival, and honestly, I highly doubt you guys feel any better after posting them.
3.) are all exactly the same and can basically be boiled down to "I don't like this."
I get that most of the "positive" posts don't add much depth either, but in real life, your behavior would be like walking into an ice cream parlor and trying to explain to people enjoying their treats that the sweets and sundaes there are actually terrible. 😠 👎
😳😳😳
Plus, you guys keep comparing this lineup to the old ones way before this one is even finalized (they announced 7 acts, even though there are usually around 40 every year, LOL)! But if you really want to go there, this lineup is already better than the one from 2008👍—back when I wasn't trashing the thread but was instead just buying my ticket like any other sane person.
All of this just bothers me because when I read
your thoughts—take threads about thirsty ears or other concerts at the Mall of America, or even previous festival discussions—those are consistently more informative, funnier, and more witty... basically, just better. Why? BECAUSE YOU AREN'T THERE!!!
Okay, fine, and also because Jesse Sanchez60—aka the promoter
