I would pay $75 for Daft Punk alone...I dont think the price is that unreasonable...concert prices for one band arent that far from $75.

Yeah, if you compare them to concert prices, they don't do bad. I saw all the preporations going up for it tonight. Looks cool.

$35 ? on the website the cheapest was like 45 plus like 5 dollars tax and 8 dollars "convenience" charge plus 10 dollars shipping.. it came out to at least $60 from the start.

cj already has a club legend.

I am no legend . . . but looks like I was right . . .

Taken from the DIRT:

OUT WITH A BANG?

"Good thing our tickets were free, because we spent all our money on glowsticks!"

We're hearing rumors that despite the number of talented acts secured like Tiesto and Duran Duran, Bang was a financial bust... Word is that while many of the VIP tables remained empty, the line for "comp" tickets snaked around the block, making many Bang-goers wonder how the organizers could have made their money back. From the looks of it, maybe Cee-lo from Gnarls Barkley was paid in corndogs and funnel cake.

These festivals need to stop wasting money on VIP setups. Everybody knows that you cannot see nor hear anything from the VIP areas. You can't put them close enough to the stage to make them worthwhile.

The VIP's were in between stages so you would hear both while you were there. I would never buy VIP for any of these festivals. I don't think they could of dragged people in there for free.

bet they will make more money if they charge a smaller fee just to sit down and have a bigger bar there and have a nicer porta potty like the have at nikki for the radio 1 party every guy with a girl would probaly going to have to pay for the bathroom

VIP'a are more for the comfort and the socializing while having a live band playing background music. Personally I enjoyed them.

Personally I did too... And btw, we were as close, if not closer than 90% of everyone else cramming in there to see the bands... and with NO ONE pushing me... and I could have done the windmill without hitting anyone... The bathrooms were actual bathrooms with sinks and wood floors... and soap.. .and paper towels... oh yeah... and they flushed... aAAAAnnnd... we the bars had no lines and there was seating that didn't require Tide to get grass stains out. ALL of the tables (that I saw) were sold out, so from a financial stand-point, that was a VERY smart move on there part. It's what seperates a "kiddie" festival" to a more attractive event for people of all ages and backgrounds.

Personally... going VIP at Coachella was the best thing ever... and it's not about "being vip", it's about working my ass off to save a couple extra bucks and then spend it to feel comfortable at an all-day event like that. Shade, comfort, drinks, clean shitters... worth every penny!
