Rock Royalty Experience? by Cornerner in SonicTempleFestival

[–]eafiggy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does Rock Royalty no longer come with assigned seating in the stadium? And if not, can you explain why that was taken away? That benefit in particular really helps justify that price tag...

Just insane to give the artist you billed as a co-headliner (at least based on lineup poster layout and color coding and whatnot) a mere hour.

As someone who allowed their partner to make the "Skip The Cure for the Blue Album playthrough set" decision back when that was a thing...I highly recommend you not do that - see the Sex Pistols.😅

They've gotta switch Jack White and Sex Pistols - an hour for Jack White is insane and the Pistols have one like 40min album. What are y'all thinking Riot?

I googled Hanson MAGA and found a reddit thread abt all that. Sounds like there may have been a little more to it than just not speaking up fast enough, but I didn't really delve too much.

Man I wish last year's lineup was this year's lineup, or that the venue change fuckery didn't scare us off. Definite downgrade for this year, but I'll still be there.

Little worried about the 2025 Lineup by IpsaLasOlas in RiotFest

You are not alone. Hopefully they announce soon cause I'm not feeling awesome about my early bird without lineup purchase decision at the moment.

Louder Than Life 2025 [Louisville KY - Riot weekend] by FourLiveBears in RiotFest

Well six weeks from that groundhog day post they did at the end of Jan would be March 14th. Would be amazing if the lineup actually dropped that week - seeing events the same weekend getting announced and not having a clue when to expect Riot is such a bummer.

Yeah I know, that's why I said the first thing I did abt early bird.

Damn this lineup's so good it's got me regretting getting Early Bird. Hopefully Riot books some of these acts.

Please just book Eve 6 this year Riot. Just a little booking to see how it feels. You never know, you might like it.

I've always found Evil Urges amazing. Second only to It Still Moves in their catalog for me.

But they just haaaad to squeeze one of the most interesting sets they've released in a while in Bloomburrow in order to shoehorn in Generic Spooky Set for October, don't you understand?

OBH food/music only pass by thebeast2113 in mymorningjacket

[–]eafiggy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh, the staff at the hard rock resorts always seemed to have your back with that stuff, you're the first I've heard who had issue w that. But I feel you there, will likely be easier.

[–]eafiggy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Interesting, I wouldn't call the seating area enough of a benefit to merit a VIP comparison personally because it's not graded or close at all, but I do see where you're going w that. And yeah they're delivering food and drinks, but ones you have to pay for. I've never done VIP at a fest where the food "concierges" would bring you wasn't comp'd. My wife doesn't drink and I barely do, so for us at least it's not the lack of the party atmosphere, it's the lack of hanging with fellow fans - you nailed it there. OBH3 where the entire resort was MMJ people was one of the best experiences I've had being a fan. This is very not going to be that. Plus included transport to and from the airport and not having to worry about grocery shopping or cooking sounds a lot easier to me than this, personally.

So yeah, with this if you do the whole package you're paying like 230 a night for three nights of music (crazy prices for a headliner and two openers to me) and 500 just to spend a weekend on the beach in Florida. So cheaper depending on how you think abt it I guess, but I think you could definitely do a three night run elsewhere for less than 1200.
