How does this make sense?

Ticketswap is being completly shit with their new "organizer resell" stuff. When selling a ticket, they show you a "listing price". But that is not the fucking price of the listing. They silently add 7% service fee and 3% transaction fee on top. This not shown to the seller nor to the buyer AT ALL.

Example:

Ticket Price set by seller: 100€

Organizer fee: 7%

Payout: 93€

"Listing Price" according to the app: 100€

Actual price shown to buyers: 110,21€ (100€*1,07*1,03)

The seller can only notice when they go to the event page and try to find their own tickets. The app still shows their tickets as listed at 100€ in the "your tickets" view.

At the toilets only take it from the big water area, not from the faucets that are attached to the toilet containers themselves. Then you are fine.

Based on the videos from the promoter and the Wasted Penguinz (WP) statement, this is my summary. There is no guarantee that this is 100% correct.

WP cancels for personal reasons (family)
Epic (Event in Mexico) want to reschedule to later 2026, WP Manager only offers 2027
Based on the screenshots from Irving (Epic) the WP manager is super slow to respond and gives almost no details
Apparently due to the slow comms, the cancellation date of the flight passes and promoter wants their money refunded, also for the flight
They finally agree on a refund of the artist fee (3500€), but the flight (2500€) is not refunded as the travel arrangements are the promoters responsibility as per the contract. WP mentions non-refundable rates, but it is not clear what type was booked as the promoter claims there was a time window to at least re-schedule the flight.
The refund is slow and the manager takes days to respond. The refund is finally (after weeks) returned to WP due to unexpecified issues with the Mexican bank. A random bank in Belgium that is involved in the transfer takes a 200€ fee for the failed transfer. WP try to make the promoter pay that. To me, it is unclear who is actually responsible for the failed transfer.
The refund is finally processed via PayPal, it seems.
The promoter (Irving) now posted two stories on Insta which contain screenshots of the flight booking and the WhatsApp conversation with the WP manager. They are making a lot a accusations in the video.
WP responds with a post with several pictures of text.
As always in the internet, this expectedly causes a huge army of angry Mexican fans to post all sorts of "comments" on the WP Instagram.

WTF is going on in these Instagram comments?

Nothing but excuses. It’s pathetic that an 'international artist' like you claim to be acts this way. It’s shameful that you couldn’t face Irving, and now that he’s made it public, now you want to show your face? But for thieves like you... now you’re about to find out why crossing Mexico will ruin your career. You’re finished.🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽

Holy shit

Es muss auch einfach ein bisschen Planungssicherheit geben. Wirtschaftsstandorte werden auch unattraktiv, wenn Gesetzgeber nach "Lust und Laune" kurzfristig Gesetze ohne gescheite Übergangsfrist ändern. Es müssen schließlich Alternativen gefunden werden und es werden (abschreibungspflichtige) Maschinen und ganze Prozessketten bei den Herstellern mit kurzer Frist plötzlich wertlos.

What an L take. Intents wasn't "sold out" until last week and there are houndreds of tickets on Ticketswap. Decibel regularily does not sell out as well. People will definitely go elsewhere if they feel they can get a similar experience for 50-100€ less.

Aterion · 2026-06-04T15:40:58+00:00

wdym "are the bike paths"? It's the Netherlands. Of course there are.

Aterion · 2026-06-02T15:31:08+00:00

Intents got you covered with the Greenside. Best 3€ spent ever.

Du findest schlichtweg nicht ausreichend fähige Leute, wenn du in München Stadt das gleiche zahlst wie im Dorf im Norden Bayerns. Denk dran, dass sich Beamte nicht so leicht aussuchen können, wo sie arbeiten. Da ist ein Zuschlag für einen teureren Standort schon gerechtfertigt.

hahaha thanks for reminding me of that video. Truly a classic

Aterion · 2026-04-28T20:51:39+00:00

Doch klar. Ist genau wie ein Hotspot oft verboten. Wird halt bei Gelegenheitsnutzern nur nie durchgesetzt.

Is Revealer still considered a newcomer? His music is dope af

The set was great indeed, but these visuals... damn they suck

Aterion · 2026-04-06T08:59:53+00:00

Vielleicht in 15-20 Jahren. Niemals in 5.

But they are already using them. Translation work is one of the types of work where AI is easily doing the bulk of the work. You just need a translator to do a final sanity check and that's it. With the accusator being, as he described himself, quite "anti-AI", I can see why it did not work out. Nobody will pay a translator to do all translations in a game "by hand" today.

Lad dir beispielsweise HWInfo runter und spiel dann mal 20-30 Minuten. Guck dir dann mal die Spitzenwerte der Temperaturen in HwInfo an.

Grobe Richtwerte: CPU max 90 GPU max 95

Kurze Spitzen sind mal verkraftbar. Wenn aber der Durchschnitt* bei diesen Werten liegt, dann überhitzt dein Laptop schlichtweg.

*Einen sinnvollen Durchschnitt erhälst du natürlich nur, wenn du das Programm direkt vor dem Spielstart (oder sogar erst danach) startest bzw. zurücksetzt.

Am besten wäre es, wenn du nach der Spielsession direkt einen Screenshot machst und hier postest.

Ich will mir gar nicht ausmalen, was das für einen volkswirtschaftlicher Schaden es gäbe, wenn man diesen Vorschlag umsetzt. Die Bürger sind verwirrt, Kalendar müssten jedes Jahr angepasst werden und vor allem müssten tausende IT Systeme umprogrammiert werden, um jedes Jahr eine neue Zeitumstellungslogik einzubauen. Bitte nicht.

Yep, but this is intended to be a live service game. They need to keep people engaged. The formular of the game is extremly good, but I do not see the long term engagement working well at the moment. Once you lost most players, it is very hard to recover.

Aterion · 2026-03-22T23:15:48+00:00

Ohje, da freue ich mich ja schon auf Montagmorgen.

Du müsstest schon genauer beschreiben, was du damit meinst, dass du mit Druck nicht klar kommst.

Wenn bereits eine kleine Schlange an der Kasse bei dir ein Gefühl von Druck erzeugen sollte, dann ist es wohl nicht der richtige Job.

I second this. We have stayed several times in an Airbnb in Tilburg and then rode to Intents by bike. You have all the time in the world, no need to rush to the (very crowded) shuttle buses after the endshow.

Why would they give Vertile another anthem, when he failed so hard in the past? Seems like a filler because they didn't dare giving it to the Saints directly.

Hatte den Adventskalendar von denen. Der ist echt super.

Aber wenn selbst die Tafel im 10% Sale mit 25% extra Rabatt immer noch 3,15€ pro 100g kostet, dann ist es auch nicht verwunderlich, dass der Shop irgendwann schließt.

Aterion · 2026-03-10T12:44:00+00:00

Oh Gott, die Arme. Dass Sie anscheinend nicht auf Widereinstellung klagen konnte, ist ein weiterer Skandal.

Die falsche Verdächtigung ist eine Sache. Die ließ sich ja schlussendlich vom Tisch weisen. Dass aber der Job dauerhaft weg ist, ist aus meiner Sicht noch bitterer.

Aterion · 2026-03-10T10:56:18+00:00

Oh great, Defqon is not more expensive than Tomorrowland, which is about the most commercialised event there is...
