don't complain about NE metalfest cost of tix[views:10373][posts:98]_________________________________ [Apr 2,2006 7:40pm - succubus ""] i know some people were bitching about the cost of the tix going up...well the people organzing it are pissed about having to raise the prices themselves blame it on metal being "en vogue" .. a lot of bands raised their costs of playing the show..a lot DOUBLED their price...one band went so far as raise their price when they found out they were "headlining" one night... some bands were asked to play...bands that started out playing the palladium..one LOCAL band wanted 18k to play (they are not on it)....anyhow, i won't name names but people got greedy...and that's why |
| _______________________________________ [Apr 2,2006 7:42pm - MetalcoreSUCKS ""] The ticket prices are reasonable.The only complaint that I have is the 99 percent of the bands SUCK BALLS!!! |
| _______________________________________________ [Apr 2,2006 7:45pm - give me head...liners ""] I wont have to complain since I'm not buying tix and I never will. Fests are a joke. |

| ____________________________________ [Apr 2,2006 8:32pm - RustedAngel ""] jeez, we'd play that fest for free and we could draw more people than some of the lame bands they're probably paying. hah. |

| __________________________________ [Apr 2,2006 8:45pm - dreadkill ""] was it killswitch or shadows fall? |
| _________________________________ [Apr 2,2006 8:55pm - succubus ""] cdan nli said: please name some names. someone just did =) |
| _____________________________________ [Apr 2,2006 9:14pm - the_reverend ""] yeah, someone always gets it right in the end.. er.. well, at least 1/2 right in the end |
| ____________________________________ [Apr 2,2006 9:17pm - sacreligion ""] $18,000??!! someone forgot their roots |
| ____________________________ [Apr 2,2006 9:41pm - pam ""] that is sickening. |
| _____________________________________________ [Apr 2,2006 9:48pm - BobNOMAAMRooney nli ""] $18,000!? I didn't know a year's subscription to the NAMBLA newsletter cost that much. |
| _________________________________________ [Apr 2,2006 9:55pm - davefromthegrave ""] see, if I was running the show, and some bands wanted so much money that i had to raise ticket prices, i'd just find bands that weren't so fucking greedy. that way it would at least still be a metalfest, instead of a moneyfest. but I'm stupid enough to care about art, so what the fuck do i know? |
| __________________________________ [Apr 2,2006 10:00pm - succubus ""] well as i said above, they said no to that band and they're not playing this year |
| _____________________________________ [Apr 2,2006 10:06pm - AUTOPSY_666 ""] UNEARTH |
| __________________________________________ [Apr 2,2006 10:11pm - BestialOnslaught ""] Is there any way I can make it so my money just goes to GAMMA RAY? |
| __________________________________________ [Apr 2,2006 10:42pm - davefromthegrave ""] buy their shirts + crap |
| _______________________________ [Apr 2,2006 10:51pm - eddie ""] davefromthegrave said:buy their shirts + crap something like 20% of that still goes to people putting on the show |
| __________________________________ [Apr 3,2006 12:07am - brian_dc ""] I'm only mad that I can't afford to go for the first time in 3 years |
| _______________________________________ [Apr 3,2006 12:13am - Joe/NotCommon ""] How the fuck did I wind up in this thread? Someone shoot me. |
| ____________________________________ [Apr 3,2006 1:05am - AUTOPSY_666 ""] :gun: :point: |
| ___________________________________ [Apr 3,2006 3:22am - Moran NLI ""] I'm gonna complain, becasue I really don't want to pay $40 to see Overcast. Its very aggravating. |
| ______________________________ [Apr 3,2006 3:26am - Tully ""] BestialOnslaught said:Is there any way I can make it so my money just goes to GAMMA RAY? I second this. |
| ____________________________ [Apr 3,2006 9:12am - cav ""] my guess was Unearth too |
| ____________________________________ [Apr 3,2006 9:32am - RustedAngel ""] cav said:my guess was Unearth too It's not Unearth... someone mentioned Killswitch / Shadows Fall and Carina said it was one of them. Makes more sense. Shadows Fall probably. |
| __________________________________ [Apr 3,2006 9:33am - dreadkill ""] dreadkill said:was it killswitch or shadows fall? i was leaning more toward shadows fall too. i can't think of any other local band besides these two big enough to demand that kind of money. |
| ____________________________________ [Apr 3,2006 9:38am - RustedAngel ""] well, shadows fall did play the mainstage at ozzfest last year....ha |
| _____________________________________ [Apr 3,2006 9:39am - the_reverend ""] I'm glad that in that little chain, heaven forbid, someone put in what i said to figure it out. |
| ____________________________________ [Apr 3,2006 9:48am - RustedAngel ""] the_reverend said:yeah, someone always gets it right in the end.. er.. well, at least 1/2 right in the end hmmmm Now I'm thinking it's Killswitch, or Overcast? WTF? 1/2 right = killswitch 100% right = killswitch ENGAGE |
| _________________________________ [Apr 3,2006 9:56am - SteveOTB ""] I'm not complaining about the prices at all. I counted 91 bands for the whole weekend at the price of $109.50. If you do the math that's $1.20 a band which is pretty good in my opinion. |
| _____________________________________ [Apr 3,2006 9:59am - the_reverend ""] tom, you really didn't read what I typed. I don't use underlining except on important things. |
| _____________________________________ [Apr 3,2006 10:14am - RustedAngel ""] the_reverend said:tom, you really didn't read what I typed. I don't use underlining except on important things. you underlined END, help me out here. |
| _________________________________________ [Apr 3,2006 10:14am - DreamingInExile ""] HAHA... my guess would have been Shadows Fall, and then I re-read Aarons post and validated my thoughts... |
| ______________________________ [Apr 3,2006 10:31am - Yeti ""] dude i would play that show for free. greedy fucking pricks |
| __________________________________ [Apr 3,2006 10:34am - SteveOTB ""] Yeti said:dude i would play that show for free. greedy fucking pricks Agreed. |
| _________________________________________ [Apr 3,2006 10:34am - DreamingInExile ""] I agree, I'd play that show for free too... I'm sure a lot of the unsigned bands in the area would play that show for free |

I'm sure a lot of the unsigned bands in the area would play that show for free Dude even if I was signed I'd still do it for free to show where your roots are and not demand $18,000 for 30-45 minute set. My band all came to the conclusion that if we did get really big and some kid asked us to play a hall show we'd surprise them and do it. The feeling of someone saying "man I remember seeing them at this hall show" is a pretty good feeling; makes them feel like the band isn't all about money and fame. |
| __________________________________ [Apr 3,2006 10:46am - SteveOTB ""] By the way if a band played a 45 minute set for $18,000.00 that's $400.00 a minute. |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 3,2006 10:48am - the_reverend ""] that's not a can do attitude there. sell out and then you will get signed and get all the money. |

| _____________________________________ [Apr 3,2006 10:59am - Josh_Martin ""] The whole point of the fest is for Massconcerts to make a profit. They squeeze every dollar they can out of it. Why shouldn't the bands get a piece of that? If they can get John Peters to pay them $18K, good for them. That's a drop in the bucket of what this fest will pull in. |

| _____________________________________ [Apr 3,2006 11:12am - thedeparted ""] how many kids are estimated to attend? |
