Apparently a pass that gets you into all of the shows is $400 Wow that's dumb.

if i didnt need this coffee so badly i'd be throwing it at my monitor right now You saw the price. You tell me if I'm wrong you called a lineup with Electric Wizard, Om, Ministry, Chelsea Wolfe, Windhand, Dead Meadow, and Ruby the Hatchet a "snoozer" before price point even came up.

Yeah I don't think is model is going to work well At least for selling the $400 passes

how the hell is the full festival pass $400 when the show passes are all a reasonable $18-$35 each and get you into a venue for a whole night?
seems like it would still make sense if you could find 3 shows you really liked.

again, the only exciting thing for me is the possibility of those artists touring around my area. Specifically Waxahatchee, Ty, Omni, Thee Oh Sees, and Chelsea Wolfe as I've never see any of them.
Looks like the Men are about to make some more rounds which means a record in 2018. Didn't realize BJM was still around either. I'd go to this. if it was cheaper. and closer. and had MBV headlining.

That would be a great weekend in Austin.
I don't think I am going to any festivals next year though. Just doing some rough calculations, it looks like I am going to have to pay an obscene amount to the feds on my taxes. Divorce - the gift that keeps on giving, year after year.

Might go to some of those Levitation individual shows but that pass price is ridiculous. I loved being able to bounce around at FFF Nites but not doing that here for that price
and maaan Electric Wizard and Panda Bear at the same time hurts (I do realize this is not a conflict that would bum out many people)

Is there anything to prevent the individual shows from selling out before you could buy a pass? These don't seem like huge venues for some of these bands.

I feel like they have to be allotting some space for the people with passes, like only selling a certain number of individual tickets. It'd be the biggest waste to buy the pass then you can't get into some of the shows

it said they're selling a very limited amount of full festival passes. they're so expensive i bet there's very few and they'll sell out before any individual shows.

I went ahead and nabbed a ticket for Panda Bear + Geologist, I feel like that's more likely to sell out than Electric Wizard (much smaller venue) and it's curated by Gorilla vs Bear so I feel like there'll be some pretty good artists added
Right now I'd probably also do Slowdive + SURVIVE at Stubbs but I doubt that sells out soon so I'll probably wait a bit on it

with the upstairs, mohawk outside (main stage) is a bit smaller than metro but similar.
it has a separate indoor venue too but it's like the size of schuba's bar.

how big is the panda venue? think it holds roughly 1000 people
Electric Wizard is at Stubbs which is more like 2500

They've got to be adding more daytime and/or late night shows, right? Because as it stands right now, I can basically see all of the shows I'd care about for less than $200. The only time the $400 "all the shows" pass would be useful for me would be on 4/28 because ideally I'd see Chelsea Wolfe instead of SURVIVE and then head over to Slowdive rather than Ministry.
4/26 Dead Meadow / Windhand @ Barracuda = $30 inc. fees (this is also a two-stage show, so I figure a bunch of adds for this one) 4/27 Electric Wizard @ Stubbs = $55 inc. fees 4/28 Slowdive @ Stubbs = $55 inc. fees 4/29 Black Angels / BJM @ Stubbs = $55 inc. fees.
Or maybe this fest just isn't for me since I'm ok with not seeing Ty Segall and The Oh Sees for the 100th time each. That said, I sure would like to get back to Austin sometime soon.

yeah im just looking for an excuse to have a weekend of music in austin again. this definitely seems like the best option and i wouldnt do a fest pass, just the single shows.
they wouldnt even need to add anymore for me. the 4 metal shows are pretty much perfect as is.
will keep on my radar for sure.

Irt alady I wouldn't expect any huge additions since it seems like all of the venues have already been announced.
