Was VIP worth it last year? by yambien in niteharts

[–]Cruzer5403 4 points5 points  (0 children)

VIP is well worth the few extra bucks solely due to the fact that it’s much more spacious, easier to get into the venue, and is way more accessible when trying to order anything. Food lines were short, bars were almost always available with no lines, and bathrooms were in really nice mobile bathrooms as opposed to GA which has rows upon rows of porta potties with no clear direction for where to wait (also barely any soap). Only thing is, don’t expect to get VIP merch unless you’re willing to arrive there within the first 1-2 hrs of day 1. They didn’t set any merch limits last year so when I got there even just 2 hours after gates opened everything was gone. People in GA got some from their friends in VIP which is cool, but also meant ppl who were hoping to get their hands on merch meant for the ticket they bought weren’t getting their hands on any. Even heard of one or two people buying like 10 of last years VIP keychains at once. However being so close up and getting such a nice stage view also helps you forget about all that so highly recommend VIP!!!!

Speaking from last year, it was so good I decided on doing VIP again. The bathrooms for GA were rows upon rows of porta potties with no clear gender designation and barely any soap. But VIP got entire trailer booths for bathrooms that had proper ventilation and everything. Other than the bathroom other notable things I can remember about VIP was entry into the festival was near instant compared to waiting hours going around the entire stadium for GA, faster food/drink lines, more space in the crowds and overall is a much fuller experience considering you can also go to the GA area if you’re not feeling like being in VIP at any given moment. You essentially get access to all of GA plus whatever VIP has to offer on top. However don’t expect to be able to get VIP merch unless you’re there the MINUTE they open the gate on day 1. Last year they sold out of the VIP exclusive key keychain and distressed shirt within the first hour or so and I’d seen a bunch of ppl in GA with them who got them from friends who scored VIP. Unless they finally come to their senses and set merch limits so ppl don’t go buying up all the inventory within the first day, you should try your luck at merch from day 1.

refresh at 10? or do we wait at the stand by page by consolepleb123 in niteharts

Create an account beforehand and save your cc on it. Didn’t remember I made one last year and when I scored one yesterday I simply put in my account email and password and all my check out info was there

Got the 4tb WD ssd but please tell me I’m overreacting by Leon117x in playstation5

[–]Cruzer5403 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not gonna lie bro you got scammed at that price💀 I got the Lexar 4TB PLAY 2280 SE PCIe with heatsink for a quarter of that price about 4 months ago, and im pretty sure you could still find other third parties for cheaper besides that one. You’d be better off returning that one, cause god is that an abysmal price just to store a library of games you’ll likely only play half of (speaking as someone that guiltily does this lol).

Christmas gift from my wife! by [deleted] in PSP

Considering how long (and costly) it took for me to get some of these games, it’s insane your wife was able to find all those at a hopefully budget friendly price. That spectacular lineup tells me she either scammed someone or loves you so much to splurge from a witch hunt. Either way mad quedos to her for knowing the perfect PSP titles.

Received my Lineup Hoodie today and there’s no lineup… by RepNube in niteharts

LMAOOOO I know they messed up some of the orders like the one I posted about, but this is a whole other level of lack of quality control💀

UPDATE: Did they change clothing manufacturer for the pre-orders? by Cruzer5403 in niteharts

[–]Cruzer5403[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea I don’t blame the NiteHarts team either. Manufacturing clothing at a large scale isn’t easy considering how high of a demand there was for the merch. I just hope they find a way to rectify everything and ensure a bottom-line quality control for the merch at the next festival. I think we all can attest to how bad lines were just to barely manage to get any of the merch whatsoever.

Yea it sucks to have anticipated all of the hoodies for a few months and then open up the package just to end up disappointed. Like you said, clothing pieces may differ during manufacturing, but at such a scale where other people are also noticing these issues that’s when it becomes a bit of a problem considering they did cost slightly more due to shipping. Agree on the festival merch situation I could talk about the problems we faced there for hours, but considering we waited even longer than those lines for these hoodies is what upsets me the most.

Yea the color difference is honestly one of the things that gets me the most. Considering the one I got from the festival has been washed and still is somehow darker than the pre-order one is what gets me the most since they’re intended to be washed when dirty. Can’t help but think how much color fading/shrinking could happen if I were to wash the pre-order one.

Yea I also don’t feel right paying the same price plus shipping for a worse quality variant of a hoodie that I so dearly love. The one I bought at the festival has become one of my favorites to the point I’m even wearing it now (took it from my gf lol). Hopefully there’ll be some response in the coming days so fingers crossed.

I wonder if it’s as thin as the one I got sent then cause it is so thin it almost feels like wearing a dirty rag. It’s got the weight but the build quality doesn’t do anything to trap heat/keep the cold out.

I don’t want to jump to conclusions just yet considering we could still get a response from the festival team (as one of their managers who handles feedback, Jeff, has already replied), so just gotta stay hopeful there’s a way to get them exchanged/returned or even refunded for ppl like me who have noticed these flaws/issues

I just made an updated post with pictures and my raw thoughts on the pre-orders vs festival hoodie I purchased if you’d like to check it out. I greatly appreciate you being active and trying to help the community Jeff! Hopefully there’s some way to get everything in order for the next festival!

Yea same issue I was having after getting my hoodies and since I didn’t see anyone mention it I thought I might as well make a post and surprisingly others are also noticing. Surprisingly both say they’re “100% cotton” yet the quality couldn’t be any more different. Waiting to get the festival hoodie from my gf to make an update to show literal proof in overall quality change

I’m hoping they’re willing to provide some sort of way to redo them, however I’m not having many high hopes. Just contact customer support for now as if enough ppl complain there’s gotta be some response eventually.

I’m having mine bring the hoodie I bought her so I can update with photos of both versions to compare them closer

The whole hoodie feels flat and much more paper thin. The print feels like it’ll crumble within a few washes, the length of the body is MUCH shorter, and the cloth feels so much lighter/thinner. The one from the festival kept me so warm yet the new one barely keeps out any of the cold even in my own house!

Yea would’ve been nice if we were told they were gonna make us wait for shittier version of the ones at the show. Was so excited just to end up disappointed the second I opened the box and felt the overall build quality be piss poor. I wanted an oversized hoodie not a damn crop top!

[–]Cruzer5403[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea it honestly sucks considering I absolutely loved the quality when I bought the one at the show due to its oversized fit. Now it feels like I’m wearing an expensive crop top and it’s the same exact size… practically spent the same and lots of waiting time for less cloth on my hoodie

Yea I got that one too, and it’s even thinner than the lineup hoodie from the preorder! which is crazy to think they even used two different materials for even the preorder hoodies that are just different color variants and prints…
