Tardcore Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 it's that time of year again. Riotfest 2014 is a scant 10 months away and holiday pre-sale tickets are available now: http://www.ticketfly.com/event/430423-riot-fest-2014-holiday-chicago/ one interesting thing is the "restructured VIP viewing areas". Not sure if that means they are making them worse or better than last year.... 2013 VIP sections were terrible compared to 2012. Too many people, too small of a space, too far from the stage.

mclz Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 yes, last year had an amazing line-up, but presales for an event 10 months away no matter what is so stupid. Snaggle Von Swift 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snaggle Von Swift Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 While lineup this year was great, not interested in a non-transferable ticket to something I have no idea who will be playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billya Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 I am hoping to make it next year so that I could hang out with Kriss again and get to see whatever lineup they have (which I am sure will be awesome), but I don't know that I will be able to make it happen or even be alive by that time next year.

Tardcore Posted November 27, 2013 Author Share Posted November 27, 2013 I think if you cough up the extra $2.50 to have the ticket mailed to you, it is likely transferrable. My 2013 pre-sale ticket was just a plain old paper ticket. but yeah...buying this far in advance is not for everyone.

timbrh2001 Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 yes, last year had an amazing line-up, but presales for an event 10 months away no matter what is so stupid.Yeah, definitely think it's worth the extra $30 to wait and see what the lineup is for sure.Even though I do think Riot Fest has a good pulse on what people (both young and old) want to see.

billya Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 This year's was easily the best festival I could have imagined. Food trucks instead of corporate vendors was an awesome choice in addition to so many good acts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tardcore Posted November 27, 2013 Author Share Posted November 27, 2013 my expectations aren't too high. It IS the 10th anniversary, but I don't know what they could do to top a Replacements re-union. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I could think of hundreds of things that could top it. derrickcook19941 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
