Coachella '07 - post confirmed acts here

just bought my 3-day pass: $287.50, including all fees…*sigh*

luckily i got very cheap airfare into ontario. but with hotel, car rental, food and incidentals, this vacation will clock at just over a grand. good thing i don't do this too often!

Think those 3-day passes will last long? I'm the worst ever when it comes to calling shit like this. I got mine during the pre-sale and it looks like I saved around $65. The friend I'm going with still hasn't gotten hers, though.

heh, congrats on grabing a pass during the presale. it was the line-up that pushed me on to the bandwagon, so getting a pre-announcement ticket just wasn't on my mind. look at this way: you get an extra 8 beers :)

how long will they last? i wouldn't bet on too long, definitely will sell out. the one-day passes for sunday (RATM) sold out instantly, i've been reading rumblings that folks are buying 3-day passes just for sunday access. unless your friend has a good reason not to (i.e. doesn't have money at the moment), i'd strongly encourage her to grab one asap. if she's committed to going, why wait? why risk it?

if i had to *guess* a sell-out date, i'd give it a week. pure speculation.

maybe we should have a forum party at coachella… met up at the beer tent an hour before the sparklehorse set :)

i'm having my own forum party in Baltimore at the Sparklehorse show on March 1st. :)

How weird, I am listening to Sparklehorse right now (new album). The last time I saw them was 1999?! I guess they don't like to tour…

sonick - if it wasn't a thursday, i'd definitely trek up… ugh, must be strong, resist temptation…

If I wasn't going to the Cat's Cradle Sparklehorse show the next night, I'd be at that "forum" party.

oh, i see, so you are skipping the Hip show to go out and party in Calfornia???

not very canadian of you, sir! :p

i just picked up my 3-day pass. what websites do you all recommend for airlines? i was thinking about booking a flight through orbitz.com, but thought that someone else might have a better option to check out. thanks in advance!

sonick - oh shit, i didnt even notice that. DAMN. between that and the muse show, it's taken my excitement down a notch.

ok, it's passed :) anyone need 2 tickets to the tragically hip show at the 930?!? at cost… PM me.

bizou: we got our airfare on delta.com, flying in to ontario, for $240. if that and orbitz don't work for ya, try travelocity.com and sidestep.com. oh, wait, i forgot: the geekiest cheap-flight-finding site evah: http://matrix.itasoftware.com/cvg/dispatch/prego/calendar = rules

sweetie:

i'll take those hip tickets off your hands when i have the cash in a few weeks.

if you still have em then… i'm your huckleberry!

sweetcell - thanks for the http://matrix.itasoftware.com/cvg/dispatch/prego/calendar link

i found flights that were $50 cheaper than orbitz.com!

sonick: Calling another guy Sweetie? How gay.

Why not work him down on ticket price? There of no use to him.

rhett: you're evil! but you're right, they're of no use to me.

bizou: awesome, you're welcome, you owe me a beer :)

i can always hope that the Hip show is covered by NPR. is there any way to petition them?

i am comfortable with my sexuality.

how about you, rhett?

Saturday and Sunday single day tickets are sold out. Hmmm…

i am comfortable with my sexuality.

how about you, rhett?

I'm comfortable with your sexuality too, Sonick.

just picked my plane ticket…$265 after all those pesky charges. how did everyone else do?

not bad! i got $240 total, DCA-ONT, 1 connection in ATL. what are you doing for accomodations? i found a motel (with pool!) in indio for $189, 3 miles from venue.

Fuckin a… $317 through jet blue. I didn't have much of a choice though; I had an unused ticket to LA from last year that I just had to put another $60 or so on top of.
