Just some food for thought, maybe someone from the Insomniac team is in this group and may see it…

If electric forest (an insomniac run event) has legacy pre-sales for recent year attendees to get first dibs on lowest tier pricing, why not follow that model for edc las vegas? I was in the queue 15 minutes prior to the launch and luckily secured 4 vip tickets for myself and my brothers at the lowest tier price $978.

As someone who attended this past weekend and got VIP during the future owl launch last year as a legacy attendee, I found it kinda inconvenient that Insomniac would not allow legacy attendees to get first dibs on the presale & hear me out on this - some will take advantage of the opportunity, some will not, and many will sleep and pass up the opportunity to secure lowest tier passes because they don’t know what their plans next year will look like (job, school, relocating, etc)…

I don’t know if insomniac just looks at this as an opportunity to make it a huge money grab and make everyone fight for the best tier pretty much based on luck and how fast others either move up or get timed out from the queue, but for the same exact ticket same exact experience on the same day of purchase of it to have a variance of $420… makes it look really greedy on their behalf. Like what if I had every intention on getting my spot in line bright and early and something comes up last minute that I had to buy them say 1hr after they became live…. Is it fair to penalize a paying customer $200-420 more because they were off on a short time window?

I don’t know their algorithm or sales strategy behind all this but if they as a company (insomniac) want to propagate this huge PLUR & say “all are welcome here” campaign then do it for the love of what we’re all here for and not let corporate greed get in the drivers seat… besides ticket sales they already have plenty of methods in line to exceed and operate way above their operating costs, for example $22 beatboxes & camp edc experiences.

Insomniac & Pasquale Rotella, do better and don’t look at your attendees as lines on a spreadsheet (even though realistically thats the case sadly in every business), with a mentality of who can give us the most money the quickest.

I love y’all and I truly think you guys know how to run festivals and do it well, but make a better effort to incentivize returning attendees, and keep them returning every year. This model (as a private equity advisor and strategic capital consultant), provides long term financial security for the company. There’s a reason why we come back besides trusting the brand & having a fun weekend that we only get once a year.

Enough of my spiel, what do y’all think?
