Going to When We Were Young Fest!

I certainly haven't been since covid became a thing. I love music. I love concerts. Just vibing with all your fellow fans, it's a whole different sensation than listening on the radio. And bonus, my sister lives in Vegas so I don't have to spring for a hotel or anything. I can just drive over the few hours from LA, chill there and enjoy!

@akruser13 That's so nice. I can remember the weekend concerts at Iowa Jam and Stone Lake Wisconsin. So much fun hanging out with people enjoying music. I have gone to so many concerts but it seems a lifetime ago. I miss the feel of live music.

@Vikingswest1 Find one and go! You're never too old to enjoy a concert, I say!

@akruser13 Whoa, that's going to be punk rock heaven!

There's like sixty something going! I need to hit up a Hot Topic or something though, my geeky comic book shirts don't exactly scream punk lol.

It should be! My Chemical Romance? They had to cancel a bunch of their tour dates last time because of Covid so a lot of us have been waiting a long time to see them together again.

@akruser13 Wait, are you saying the ticket that is $225 is good for BOTH days? If so, then I totally would have went for that. You make a good point about Coachella too. Yeah, I agree with the price level thing as well. Definitely super expensive for the upgrade(s) etc. I guess I never really thought the tickets were too pricey, I just assumed that it's 225 for one day, so 450 for both. If that is the reality though, that's still not bad either. Cheers! I look forward to hearing about the experience

@dilleo I think it's good for both. I'm honestly not too sure because when we were camping the website it said one day, but they changed it to two while we were in the queue and the email they sent my friend when she bought them said Sat-Sun and not just Saturday, but the site said "tickets now on sale for Sunday too!" so I thought it was good for one or the other. It's so confusing lol. Either way I think it's a pretty solid price for what we're getting even if it turns out it's only good for the one day. I hope we can do both though! Same lineup both days but it'll give us a chance to see more bands overall. We can see some of the sets Saturday and hit any we missed on Sunday.

I don't understand how people are calling it pricey tbh. Maybe it's because I live where Coachella is? Because if you broke down the cost of a Coachella ticket into separate days the cost per day is almost the same as this festival's cost when it was only a one day thing. But now the tickets are good for two days since they extended the festival by a day, so each day of this one is now half what a Coachella ticket's daily cost is. And with all these vintage artists and bands who we may never get to see perform again after this I think it's well worth the cost. Now the cost between levels to me is pretty ridiculous for what you get. There's always a jump in like VIP pricing but between GA and GA+? The only extra perks you get for GA+ are a designated entrance and the ability to use the indoor air conditioned bathrooms as opposed to what I assume are the portapotties. The price difference between the two was like $175 or something. You're paying that much extra for bathrooms? Why? In general though, the cost for a single kpop concert ticket has always been around $75+ for the cheap seats for what, two hours of entertainment? Three maybe? This is $225 for over 60 bands you can bounce around between and for like 26 hours of music. I honestly didn't even blink at the price.
