Topic: Sasquatch Festival @ Gorge taping?

[ChrisV]

They only had it from 10 AM to 10 PM on last Tuesday....was hoping they'd have it on again for today but there is nothing listed on HOB's website for today

There does seem to be some sort of other coupon code on the Ticketmaster page...not sure what it is for or how much of a discount but if anyone finds out let us know.   I'd still hold out on paying full price till at least next Tuesday to see if by chance they offer it up again on HOB.

Well I got in contact with someone from Barsuk records and they passed along to me a direct email address for the Promotor of the concert so I could ask them....they replied to me within less than 2 minutes w/ what is probably their default answer.   Oh well, at least they were fast reply ;p

Yeah, I was thinking of sending another reply to them commenting on how poor ticket sales were tanking for this year's festival but I refrained from doing so ;p
They've been on a steady decline with each festival, and I doubt there will be another one after this year's.

First year = 20k(sold out)
2nd year = 12k
This year I doubt they've even sold 5k.

i wish i could of made it to the first year, looked pretty sweet with SCI and ben harper, etc.

too bad they've shifted away from that in the past two years...
