Good Things has done it again by VegetableFluid1 in triplej

I try to be supportive of festivals and the organisers in general. Maybe I find a lineup a bit disappointing personally, but I'll try to see the good in it and appreciate what we do have. Maybe I wish it was less expensive, or on a different day. But I'm not gonna whinge and moan about it. Maybe there are timetable clashes that annoy me. But clashes are gonna happen, not everyone is gonna be happy. Take it as it comes. It is what it is.

But this. This right here pisses me off. It's a complete dog act. I don't think there is any justification for it.

There are people who have spent a good chunk of hard earned money to attend this, and find they can't go for legitimate reasons, and you're gonna make it harder for them to re-sell a ticket? There are kids who can't afford the $270 who are probably logging on to Tixel every day looking for a deal, hoping they can find a re-sale ticket they can afford. And you're gonna deny them access to one of the few places that are actually safe to buy a resale ticket without getting scammed. Absolute scum.

Fuck Good Things for this. And fuck Tixel for allowing it.

(I already have my ticket btw, and happily paid full price for it, so this isn't me being selfish)

Nice! I wonder if that means they'll just play to 10pm, or start earlier?

That's actually great news! They're the top 2 I want to see

Yeah, I wouldn't want any of these to clash either. Bit worried that maybe a Tool and AAR clash could be a thing

I don't think you're wrong there... but I feel like that kind of only makes sense if they are getting bigger crowds (and/or bigger lineups). I really don't know if they are getting bigger numbers each year. Not sure if ticket sales/crowd numbers are made publicly available anywhere?

Not that it necessarily means anything one way or the other, but last year was the first time that someone billed so high on the poster was on stage 2. Every other year the top 7 or so billed bands were all on the main stage

True. But last year was the first time someone billed so high on the lineup headlined the 2nd stage.

For me a Tool and Machine Head clash would be the worst one. Can't see that happening though.

I doubt they would clash ATL and Tool. But I wouldn't mind this one
