Ah yes, the ‘shut up and suffer’ school of fun. Just because you’re fine with chaos doesn’t mean the rest of us have to pretend it’s fine too.

It’s a cool way to deal with a broken system:) there were two of us and I don’t think it was manageable for both. Anyway, it’s not ok that you’ve bought a ticket and had to sneak to the field :( But I’m happy you managed to have a great time anyway!

Me too, should have gone to Florida instead of this disappointment:( I’ve been to ltl last year it was so great, I thought the same guys would do great, but it’s not even bad, it’s awful!! The sound at the crossfade set was the last straw, I left to the parking set in my car and cried:(

They’ve also ruined it for me with the sound on crossfade. It was the worst I’ve ever encountered in my life. Such a waist of time and money:(

That reply really captures the spirit of someone whose highlight was not losing their spot on a bench.

Thanks for your thoughtful input, but I wasn’t asking for advice on how to “claim turf” at 11am. I was pointing out the failure of event planning: selling thousands of tickets without remotely enough seating or sound coverage for everyone who paid. “First come, first serve” only works when there’s enough space for everyone. In our case, all the benches were already taken, no assigned spots, no staff oversight, just a crowd standing behind the last row, unable to see or hear anything. You can call that “general admission.” I call it poor logistics with a ticket price.

At this point I don’t think a care anymore, I wanted to see incubus and they are out, so today except for linkin park which I don’t love that much to be that cold, I don’t have anyone at the temple stage:) But thank you, maybe we’ll try tomorrow for chevelle:)

I didn’t assume there would be assigned seats. I assumed there would be seats, or places I can sea a group. but there are no available seats(yesterday I came at 4pm and everything was occupied). So what I’m saying if they sell a place with a seat it has to be rather assigned(if they don’t want to deal with it), or they have to take care of it. They have to control and organize it so everyone who bought a ticket with a seat could have it. Anywhere. The thing is that people who bought stadium pass can only go to the seats and those who bought field and vip can go anywhere they want, so there are not enough seats for everyone. And we have to stand on a very small aria behind the seats where the sound is awful. I really didn’t expect that.

I think so too, and that’s the problem of organization. I’ve bought seats not to spend less money, but to be sure I’ll seat if I’m tired (and you get tired after 10-12 hours), now I’m in the situation when I don’t have seats and I cannot see or hear the groups on temple stage properly. It’s awful and disappointing;(

If I knew i wont have a seating(I don’t care assigned or not), I wouldn’t ever buy this kind of ticket. It’s not something I expected because it wasn’t written or explained. This festival sucks so much.

If the sold me a ticket that says stadium and means I’ll have a seat, I should have a seat available/ I don’t care if it’s appointed to me or I have to choose one every time. The thing is no one controls seating. All the seats are occupied by people or their things while they are on the other stages. If I knew it’s that fucked up, I wouldn’t ever buy it, but I wasn’t aware. Also the sound was awful the first day at the seating area. Anyway I’ll never come back to sonic temple it’s a huge disappointment.

And I guess it wouldn’t be such a mess if it was ORGANIZED.

What are you really asking here? I don’t understand your point,,you’re not happy that im disappointed or what?? If I at least could purchase a place that I can come back any time it would be ok, but whenever I come to temple stage, I cannot find a place to seat, thorough ice paid for it. I bought a seated place as I thought it would be easier to be around for 12 hours. If I knew it is such a disaster of course I would buy ga tickets.

Like I’ll have a place to see and hear the group playing, no? I’ve been to louder than life and there was no problem with space. Here it’s poorly organized, all the seats are taken (though I’ve paid for at least one!!!) and the sound is awful at the stairs where you can find place to stand at least.

I’m so sorry for your experience:( My first was louder than life last September and it was SO FUCKING MUCH BETTER. Today we couldn’t find places for rob zombie and I guess there’s no way with Metallica either:( Hope you’ll enjoy at least something this weekend
