Tardcore Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Just look at their Facebook page ... Definitely not classy fellows. I must be a douche. I don't really see the issue. They seem to just give stuff away and field complaints from illiterate droolers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem to just give stuff away and field complaints from illiterate droolers. I wouldn't even treat my friends that way let alone customers. Great for them that they got a dope lineup and sold a bunch of tickets and will probably make gobs of cash, but being an ass catches up with you.

sirrichardrichard Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 I've thought about asking a question on the website/facebook, but don't really want to get into it - like you said, they don't really take kindly to questions... The past two years they've advertised things that weren't available in Toronto. Both years I bought VIP tickets - last year, the security was shit and by the end of the night, the VIP was almost more crowded than GA. They also had said there was going to be a meet and greet with an artist....they set up a table at around 5, then tore it down around 6. I asked them after the fact, but was ignored. I wasn't super worried about that, but it still left a sour taste. This year, there was supposed to be a "swag bag" that didn't exist. They also "oversold" the VIP (more than likely though, over-comped/over-press) so after I left to get merch/food I was stuck outside the section for 15 minutes during Iggy and the Stooges - it was ridiculous. I went to the TURF fest in July in Toronto, it was miles better as far as organization and treatment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to the TURF fest in July in Toronto, it was miles better as far as organization and treatment. I'm pretty sure it's just too few people trying to do too many things. Chicago seemed well-organized last year, but I heard horror stories about some of the other cities. Personally, I don't think that they don't take kindly to questions; it's that they get a bajillion "Am I going to get jumped in Humboldt Park/ WIll X band be signing autographs / Can I bring my X" type questions that are already answered in the site FAQ. After answering the same question twenty times, I'd probably start being dickish to people, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billya Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Saturday has a few conflicting times for me. Thankfully Sunday has the bands I care the most about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smailtronic Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 I'm pretty alright with this. Show up mid-day Friday, check out in time to get to the Larry Arms after show, then a good 6-7 hours of music on Saturday and Sunday. Nobody I really wanted to see is playing super early, so I can take my time with getting there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travis Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 The only big conflict for me is Touche/Brand New playing at the same time. I'll probably just watch all of Brand New since I'll be seeing Touche with B&C at the release show when I get back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smailtronic Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Ok, so... board meetup? Maybe dinner/drinks somewhere, on Thursday night? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Hundred Fifty-Two Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Anybody have a parking spot near the venue. Friday ill be driving in from Madison and Sunday ill be headed back. Would gladly pay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almightyseancore Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Ok, so... board meetup? Maybe dinner/drinks somewhere, on Thursday night? not getting in town until friday morning, but i assume most if not all of us will be attending most of these bands sets, we can easily arrange some kind of meetup before seeing say, flag, or bad religion or something.
