So a metal version of Desert Trip that I attended in 2016 (Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Paul McCartney, The Who, The Rolling Stones, and Roger Waters)...

We paid $1,500 to each ticket in 2016. I wonder what they'll be this time?

$600 for GA and about the same for the pit.

$1600 for pit (before fees)

I wasn’t wrong I just wasn’t exact as I didn’t remember how far off it was. I just saw the number and said “heeeeeeeelllllllll no”

Then I’d have to buy an RV camping ticket which I wasn’t able to find a price for yet. Gas, food, beer, booze, drugs, hookers, and I’m looking at spending well over 10k to see some bands that probably aren’t even good live anymore.

Maybe when the full lineup drops.

I’m definitely NOT going at those prices. I could have so many more memorable experiences for that dough. I just saw an amazing 4-band metal show, headlined by Soulfly, for $20, and got to be front and center in the pit.

This mosh pit would be like two full European vacations, lol.

Can’t tell if you mean as expensive as a European vacation or as calm and relaxing as one.

Source? Because that’s not the info coming from one of the bands. It’s the six headliners and that’s it.

God, I got Metallica weekend tickets in November. Friday the openers are Wolfgang Van Halen and Pantera. Never really listened to WVH, never got to see Pantera. I’m stoked for Friday. Sunday is Ice Nine Kills and Five Finger Death Punch. Told my buddy that we’ll be fashionably late Sunday.

I swear that Metallica picking 5 Finger Death Punch was a flex directed at Megadeth. Kind of a "See this band you're opening for? They open for US".

I was there as well. I'll be at this show for sure. Grew out of the Coachella's after like 12 straight years of them, and can't stand country so I dread StageCoach. I have a vacation home about 1 mile away from Empire Polo Grounds which I rent to some of the Goldenvoice staff.
