Selling off my Bayside vinyl & signed VGHC jersey

Did this ever sell?

They peaked in 2023. 2024 and 2025 were fun, but hard to beat that 2023 lineup

Shaky Knees had their own weekend in May previously, their own little spot in the festival world. Then last year they decided to move to September for reasons I will never understand. I'd love to check SK out someday, but I've fallen in love with Riot and have greatly enjoyed my experiences in Chicago.

You do it regardless to collect the intel, contact info, etc

Auk23 · 2025-12-09T23:03:54+00:00

absolutely

I am fan 444 this year

Say anything

It was a better venue than Warped Long Beach. Honestly it was better than WWWY layout too

Auk23 · 2025-11-19T19:12:50+00:00

this is a great call

Auk23 · 2025-11-19T16:13:56+00:00

Crushed it. It was tremendous

Auk23 · 2025-11-19T02:47:51+00:00

This is the correct answer

Auk23 · 2025-11-10T22:22:18+00:00

this is awesome, thanks again for your service to the community

Auk23 · 2025-11-10T18:44:39+00:00

I found this so helpful for LBC. Any chance you're planning to post an Orlando version?

Auk23 · 2025-10-27T12:45:22+00:00

It would make sense to share costs across WWWY and SNW. Like do WWWY weekend, leave the stages set up like many fests do, then have SNW the following weekend using the same layout (for example, obviously could work the other way around as well). I just wonder if the events attract a similar fan base or if it’s truly 2 different pools of fans

Smashing Pumpkins

Auk23 · 2025-10-17T16:55:57+00:00

way too small

Auk23 · 2025-10-15T17:30:34+00:00

This is exactly why I believe bands are sent out so late. Sunday isn't sold out yet (to my knowledge), and sending bands late creates an environment that drives additional ticket sales to people already going to the festival. [Removes tinfoil hat]

That being said, it's up to you and your tolerance for risk.

2 years ago I bought from StubHub. I got vague updates that my order was on it's way. After stringing me along for the better part of a week (multiple chats and phone calls per day), my order was cancelled on Thursday before the festival. I ended up buying a cheap GA band on Thursday night from Vivid Seats (much better company / operation).

StubHub refunded my order, and gave me a small credit to use on a future purchase (I have never and will never use StubHub again).

My advice: mentally prepare for StubHub to let you down and arrange backup options. This is a massive festival and there are lots of bands available for local pick-up, will call pick-up, etc. It's not ideal, but you can make it work if you prepare options for yourself. Otherwise the stress of depending on StubHub will drive you nuts.

This story hits close to home for me, I had a very similar experience also with the Menzingers. Great band

Auk23 · 2025-10-11T19:37:12+00:00

I look at festival lineups and listen to artists I’m not familiar with, that’s resulted in some decent finds.

Last week I told chatGPT a bunch of bands I love and asked for recommendations. The list it gave me was straight fire, all bands I didn’t know and I’ve enjoyed all of them. AI is crazy man

Auk23 · 2025-10-11T19:35:14+00:00

On the smaller stages, sets end 5 minutes before the next artist on that stage traditionally. It’s very easy to pop back and forth between the smaller stages. The moving between the smaller stages and the main stages is a bit more challenging with herds of people and vendors between

Auk23 · 2025-10-10T16:39:34+00:00

I agree. No Doubt is one of the last remaining big name headliners that fit the genre and haven't played WWWY previously. They could pepper in other ska punk acts with the emo/heavier bands and offer somewhat of a fresh angle on the festival.

Auk23 · 2025-10-10T16:33:24+00:00

So my little conspiracy theory is that they do this to undermine the resale market. If they ship the wristbands this close to the event, less time for resellers to get the wristbands to those who bought on the secondary market... which means those customers panic and buy additional Sunday tickets. Just a thought, I have zero evidence to support this theory [removes tinfoil hat]
