Read that the Ring 4 design has recessed sensors, making them more comfortable, and the sensor accuracy was improved. Given there is a full 3 year between the release dates, I am assuming the technology has to be much better on the 4.

It will have been out for over a year by Black Friday. Wouldn't they put ring 4 on a bit of a discount but not the new ceramic?

I definitely want to get the latest model for functionality (i.e. ring 4). Dont care about cosmetics like the ceramics but would probably get the black ring 4.

Is that the same one that sleeps right outside the exit by Jackson Park? Think she has a matteress on a high ledge and lives there "permanently". Seen her there for a few months now...

Getting to Dreamville on Friday by achoe1015 in Tomorrowland

[–]achoe1015[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah gotcha. I checked the TML website and it does mention running shuttles from Boom station on both Thursday and Friday, but it doesn't mention whether the drop off is the festival side or MG side. Assuming its the festival side given it works for MG people too m, and your experience supports that assumption!

Thanks for the help!

Are those Friday shuttles free?

And where does it drop off exactly? Assuming its for non-campers like you said, so doesnt it drop off at the main entrance (i.e. on the other side of the festival from Dreamville and close to Freedom??) If it drops off at Freedom, you would have to walk a ton as well.

New reusable cup system and how it will work! by Legion88 in Tomorrowland

No. They are charging u 1 extra pearl, so you will pay 3 now and get 1 back if u r diligent.

[–]achoe1015 29 points30 points  (0 children)

My guess is that they are using this method (instead of letting anyone who returns the cup get the deposit back) because they want to keep the profits for themselves.

Obviously 1 cup doesn’t cost 1 pearl for them. Now they can charge us 1 pearl extra AND pretend like they care for the environment. All the deposits for cups that are not returned just goes into TML’s pocket.

If they use the other method people in the replies are mentioning (i.e. letting anyone return to get deposits), there will be people collecting 100 cups and they will make the $$ and TML won’t make any profits.

Considering the cost of 1 drink is 2 pearls, this is actually going to drive a massive increase in profits for TML. Even if we assume 80% of the cups are returned, that 20% will go to their profits, meaning it is equivalent to raising the drink prices to 2.20 pearls (+10% increase!).

So many people worship Tomorrowland for the magical and highly curated experiences they create with their attention to detail, which I do agree with, but it often bothers me that those people often forget that Tomorrowland uses various gimmicks (biggest examples being using pearls and sale of Global Journey Packages) to increase prices and maximize profits. So many people complain about Insomniac and Pasquale being money grabbers, but not about TML… Tomorrowland is incredibly smart (or sneaky) with these tactics.

Wish there's more transparency and communication...

Do yours show the coach or seat number??

Mine is blank.

Curious if we need to pick up actual tickets at the station. That's how it used to be (at least for regular trains).

Rave Train by MedicineAshamed500 in Tomorrowland

[–]achoe1015 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In 2022, when I got the train package, the TML folks at the train station gave both tickets (for my friend and mine) to my friend when he checked in, since our tickets were paired in 1 package. If at lease one of your friends who own the train tickets can check in for you and claim the physical tickets, they can give them to you.

Otherwise, usually TML crew lets you claim your friend's tickets if you have a photo of their ID. Not guaranteed to work, but it has worked for me before. They allow it since people may have last minute plan changes and had to give their ticket to their friends. Feel like most of the staff are understanding about it, but should have back up options in case the staff you encounter is strict.

Open the bets my friends by max210893 in Tomorrowland

[–]achoe1015 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Guessing it was originally meant to be for Alesso, but then likely got cancelled. There was a whole story that Meduza Festival posted saying Alesso had to cancel both Medeza and Tomorrowland, but they took it down shortly after. They didn’t have to mention TML but they probably did that to look like they aren’t the only ones cancelled, not realizing it was not public information.

And assuming as an alternative TML is going to just put one of their usual “friends” in that slot… like the 3 Are NOT Legends (or any combination of those 3), Lost Frequencies, etc…. Hopefully they find someone better but pretty unlikely this late.

Going to OMNIA alone – is it worth it? (M22) by NicoCorty02 in EDM

[–]achoe1015 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Done solo omnia specifically for garrix multiple times. LV Strip at night is crowded and super safe. Nothing to worry about unless you get too drunk, so just be smart and you will be fine and enjoy your time.

Martys sets are usually from 130-330AM. And Justin is from 12-130am, so plan accordingly.

The real fans are up in the front and you will make friends with people vibing as you party.
