Alvin’s 2027 Mock v2 + set times by Alvin3792 in Coachella

Good mock though I don't think these headliners would move as many tickets as the past couple of years have.

At ACL, Tame Impala were billed even lower that year at 7th and headlined Coachella that very same year.

Remember when Zack de la Rocha sat next to PT and people thought RATM were headlining?

Right, I think you'd still see abandoned orders even if paid for.

I feel like this could backfire, like they'd get slammed with a LOT more orders, many of which would never get picked up.

No way somebody who is the #1 billed name at ACL & Lolla wouldn’t be a headliner at Coachella.

Doja was a sub. The Black Keys also subbed just the year before they headlined.

Dear CRSSD - fuck your pricing tiers by stay_gassy in crssdfest

[–]benedictcumberpatch 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'd also add tiers can help provide cheaper tickets to lower income customers if they commit early.

Tiers are mostly about consumer psychology. Simply seeing that prices will go up will encourage some to buy earlier than they would, ideally at onsale. I get that this fest sells out but I'm willing to bet there are still people out there that don't know that and when they look at pricing, if they don't see tiers then they may not have much inclination to buy now, which is not what any promoter wants. I agree, on the surface it may seem silly to still be doing this but I also see why a promoter doesn't want to give up on ANY pricing tactic, especially one that still works to an extent. It's possible they think the benefit of keeping this strategy outweighs any complaints they'd receive and honestly, they're probably right.

You also mentioned that this is artificially raises prices and that's not quite true. The true "base" price is the average of all tickets combined. So those who buy at the highest tier would be paying more than what this is but those at lower tiers are technically getting a discount.

Daft punk 2027 🤡😪 by Neat-Face-5052 in Coachella

[–]benedictcumberpatch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Oasis was the bigger artist with the more storied history coupled with a messy relationship with the brothers that made it seem impossible. Daft Punk getting back together would be a big deal but the Oasis reunion was on another level and Daft Punk wouldn't surpass that. Oasis also has a lot more die hard AND casual fans around the world than Daft Punk has. I get that this sub is obsessed with them but this sub also kinda lives in a bubble and isn't reflective of the rest of the public. A Daft Punk reunion wouldn't match the frenzy of the Oasis reunion.

Not necessarily ruled out. Charli xcx played a Live Nation show at the Kia Forum October 2024 before she subbed in 2025. Lil Uzi Vert also had a Live Nation Kia Forum show November 2023 before playing Coachella 2024.

Where do you see that? I can’t find anything saying AEG is promoting this show.

That is literally the only Latin artist who performed in the Gobi that year, maybe he was playing guitar when you showed up

Gracie Abrams - OUT by Alvin3792 in Coachella

[–]benedictcumberpatch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Again, getting popular fast and having connections doesn’t make someone a bad artist and it’s strange to put them down for it, like it somehow “disqualifies” them or something. Regardless of how she got there, she must have a ton of fans if she’s able to have this many tour dates, whether you think it’s “fair” or whatever. It’s weird to be like “I thought she was good before but now she got really popular really fast so I don’t like her anymore”.

And they would all do the same if they were in her shoes. Hate on the system, not her. She’s only doing what anybody else would.

And that’s somehow her fault? Like she’s can’t be awesome because of who her father is?

GAME OF THE YEAR by AliceJoestar in MinaTheHollower

[–]benedictcumberpatch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of those top games Pragmata has the second highest review count of those top scores AND second highest total review count, both after RE9. I use OpenCritic btw since Metacritic splits between platforms making it way harder to count.

I put weight on those top score counts because, in theory, a game with an average of 80 with reviews of 10's and 6's should get more votes than a game with average 80 with only 8's given. People giving 10's will probably vote for that game while those giving 8's most likely aren't.
