When We Were Young Festival (Las Vegas) Tour • Page 62

Definitely a roll of the dice because the later your flight the more likely it will get cancelled. I haven't been paying attention but you should look into cancellation rates and what the trends have been. Maybe they've gone down since earlier this year.

 

I’m doing the same thing but with Philly and Spirit. Definitely a roll of the dice situation but you should be in a much better spot with Delta .

 

I mean, I'd say if you really want to go to the fest then risk it. You can sell your ticket to the show if the flight gets cancelled and you'd probably just be out the hotel as you'd get reimbursed at the counter for the flight?

Airports are rough though, I haven't had a single flight lately that wasn't moved to a different time, and I spent ELEVEN hours at the airport trying to get Baltimore (my 7AM flight turned into a 430 flight into DC instead and I just took a train at the end). All I got out of it was a measly $200 voucher...

Having said that, you gotta get places so I'm just trying to roll with it. Luckily I have way more of a buffer built into my flight but if for whatever reason, I couldn't do that, I'd still roll the dice so that's my advice to you lol.

My advice is that if your flight gets pushed a huge amount of time like 2 hours or 3 hours or something, that's a bad sign that they don't have staff and not a mechanical issue or something and at that point you should take whatever alternates they have to offer. That's how I got screwed as I kept thinking it was going to still depart and I passed on going to DC much earlier in the day.

 

Has anyone sold their tickets for this yet? If so how’d you go about it with them not being in yet?

 

Told them I’ll send them the ticket when I get it

 

The way so many people are talking about selling their tickets....sounds like I'll be lucky if I get back half of what I paid lol

 

Looks like you're allowed exit and reentry twice which is great news

 

As long as you're screened back in, I've never understood the no re-entry especially with wrist bands as they're a physical item that you can't duplicate. I get they don't want 2 people splitting a ticket if someone is up for the morning and someone is up for the afternoon, but the event sold out anyway so I'm glad they're being reasonable.

Having said all that, an 11-12 hour festival with this many acts? Who's going to be leaving if not for an emergency? I'm certainly not.

 

If there's a big 2 hour block where I don't care for anyone I could see myself leaving. But I'm glad because my wife is coming along but it's not really her scene. She probably likes only a handful of the bands. So it gives her the opportunity to do something else if there's a huge gap between someone she likes and Paramore at the end of the night for example.

 

Flight/hotel/car booked through Costco and got a great deal. Going to see if I can get cheaper tickets as the date gets closer

 

Repost from the selling/buying tickets thread:

 

Sold my tickets, even at a loss it’s a better financial decision than trying to make the trip out there rn

 

I sold my ticket for $240 on Stubhub, just waiting for the wristband to show up.

 

Apparently Lineup for Strange 90's show is out. This is so dope.

 

2nd weekend gets absolutely nothing lol

 

you snooze you lose

 

doesn't it get Mosh Eisley, the emo night/Star Wars hybrid from Adam (Story of the Year), Nick (Bayside) and Ryan Key and pals? I think that's the 28th.

 

Finally getting hotel and flights reserved in the next couple of days. Now I'm getting really excited! For a bit I wasn't sure if I was going to swing it but looks like everything is good to go.

 

Literally never heard of Girlfriends or Shiragirl

 

Just sold my tickets…lost about $200 but would’ve ended up spending at least a thousand if I went so I’m trying not to feel bad about it

 

Anyone selling for the 23rd?

 

Just booked the flight and I had my hotel secured months ago. This is actually happening lol

 

yessir. have 2 vip tickets if you're interested - have a family wedding that weekend

 

After absolutely hating Riot Fest this year I'm honestly so happy I'm not going now tbh haha

 

Hearing about the crowd issues at MCR at Riot Fest, definitely need to have Paramore and MCR play at the same time otherwise there will be a 90k-capacity crush.
