We may or may not have invented sex, drugs and rock and roll… but we definitely killed it…

there's a few smaller events in the USA, but even Punk Rock
Bowling is getting ruined… all good things must pass… but, rock and roll and the decadent party with it, is over for the most part.

The best wat to tell if something is bullshit. If the ticket prices are reasonable, but parking, travel and lodging are high… it's lame. It's not a concert, it's just an industry and your a consumer.

Love the Stones, Love Dylan, Love Paul . . . So Here’s Why I Won’t Be Attending Desert Trip This Fall

05/16/2016



David Hinckley
Writer, Bob Dylan fan, memorized every line in ‘Casablanca’



With all due modesty, I am exactly the person for whom this fall’s Desert Trip rock festival was put together.


And I won’t be there.


Not that anyone will miss me when the Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney, Neil Young, the Who and Roger Waters stroll god-like onto the Empire Polo Club stage in Indio, Calif., the weekends of Oct. 7-9 and 14-16.



...



Some 150,000 tickets for the two weekends sold out in about five hours, though much of the real ticket-buying action is just now getting under way.

This show is every scalper’s fantasy, oops, I mean the secondary market is well-positioned. It’s a cool ticket where the target customer has money to spend and is 99.5% pre-sold.

One click and that $199 three-day pass can become a $2,000 gift for yourself.

Anyhow, getting back to the subject of me, I couldn’t be a more perfect fit for this show if I had been created as a hologram by the concert promoters.

I’m 67. I grew up with all those acts. I agree with Johnny Cash that Dylan is the greatest writer of our time. I listen to him every day. I love the Stones, McCartney and the Who. I’ve seen all these acts but Waters in concert multiple times, going back to the fall of 1965, when my friend Mark and I saw Dylan at the Bushnell Auditorium in Hartford, Conn., and the Stones in New Haven. For the record, the Stones’s top-40 hit at the time was “Get Off Of My Cloud.” Dylan’s was “Positively 4th Street.”

In the years since, I never fulfilled my parents’ assumption that I would outgrow rock ‘n’ roll. I found other music I liked, but that only expanded the playlist. It never elbowed rock ‘n’ roll aside.

The artists who will be playing Desert Trip are all over my iPod.

There’s also nothing like a live show and I don’t mind traveling to see one. My friend Barry and I flew to Dublin in 2006 for Bruce Springsteen’s “Sessions” shows and I’d do that again tomorrow.

Nor do I avoid mega-shows. I went to Woodstock, Woodstock II, the first Farm Aid, Live Aid and a spectacular day-long rhythm and blues concert in Burlington, N.J., in 1983.

So why don’t I feel any urge to see Desert Trip, a once-in-a-lifetime summit bringing together some of the most towering survivors of rock ‘n’ roll?

Well, for starters - let’s get the most awkward part out of the way first - some of these artists aren’t quite the live acts they used to be.

That’s not their fault. They’re mostly in their 70s, which, trust me, is different from your 20s.

It’s great they’re still around and performing. But the once-in-a-lifetime part of this show also has a disquieting subtext of last-in-a-lifetime. Let’s hear “Hey Jude,” “Mr. Tambourine Man,” “Can’t Explain” and “Jumping Jack Flash” one final epic time before all these guys are, you know, gone.

It’s a nostalgia package - something the Stones embraced years ago with astounding success while Young and Dylan, in particular, have at times tried to resist.

Now there’s nothing wrong with hearing a great song again. Music helps define our past, and Desert Trip feels a little like a giant piñata. Take a swing and see what part of your life pops out.

Maybe it’s the sheer scope of the package that makes me hesitant. At a certain point, putting more sugar in the lemonade doesn’t keep making it better.

Or maybe it’s the fact, hardly unique to Desert Trip, that rock ‘n’ roll concerts in recent years have felt less like a place to sit down and hear some tunes than finely calculated corporate products.

Expensive corporate products, accessorized with expensive merchandise. The tab for a T-shirt would feed a family of five for a month in much of the world.

While no one begrudges artists a decent living, music has always been the most democratic and accessible part of popular culture. It’s depressing that concerts seem increasingly like pro sports events: a playground and perk for people with lots of money.

And then finally, there’s this: For an old guy like me, attending Desert Trip would be a lot of work.

When you’re young and everything functions well, you don’t mind spending hours to get there, stand in lines, hang around. It’s part of the deal.

When you’re older, that part gets less fun.

Probably 20 years ago, I was interviewing Mick Jagger and asked him if, as a fan, he still liked concerts.

Sure, he said, but as he had gotten older his idea of the perfect concert had evolved. He’d like it to start around 8 p.m., he said, and be over by 8:45.

Certainly there are exceptions. Ask the band in which Mick Jagger sings. But I knew what he meant.

I have a granddaughter, Sarah, who went to the Empire Polo Club last year for Coachella. She was there for a couple of days. She loved it.

I’m not ready to pass the whole concert torch to her yet. But some things are more worth it when you’re 23.

Brilliant as so much of the music from these artists has been, Desert Trip sounds a little too much like a hard day’s night.

Well, here's another take on the subject:




Desert Trip is The Summer’s Priciest Festival, But Tickets Are More of a Bargain Than You Think

05/17/2016

Jesse Lawrence
CEO, TiqIQ



Desert Trip is on its way to becoming the most expensive music festival of the summer — by a long shot. Last week, Coachella festival organizers announced a mega-festival featuring performances from the Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, Bob Dylan, The Who, Neil Young and Roger Waters to be held over two weekends on October 9-11 and October 16-18 in Indio, California.

“Oldchella” fans (and brokers) went rabid for tickets, forcing primary tickets to sell out in just three hours, with hundreds of passes hitting the secondary market shortly after. Estimates predict that Desert Trip will gross over $150 million over the two weekends, with the headlining acts taking home an estimate of $6 to $9 million for their appearance on stage.

Desert Trip’s expected gross is so high because tickets are pricier than any festival this summer. At the time tickets went on sale, general admission prices for Desert Trip were set at $199 for a single day pass, while a three-day pass began $399. A three-day pass with admission to the standing pit in front of the stage (floor seats) was priced at $1,599. To compare, the next-priciest festival, Coachella, broke the record for highest gross of any festival in 2015 when it raked in a whopping $84 million from a total of 198,000 tickets sold, and resale 3-day passes averaged just $871. If the gross estimates for Desert Trip prove to be accurate, the festival is already on track to rake in more than $60 million than the next-priciest festival. It’s unlikely — if not impossible — that any festival this summer will come close to that number.



...



Despite the huge expense for classic rock fans, the festival still offers fans more of a bargain than the average music fan might suspect. In terms of floor seat ticket prices, each act on the bill is known to post pricey floor tickets on their respective solo headlining shows.

Neil Young & Promise of Real’s 2015 string of shows on the Rebel Content Tour saw resale floor seat prices that averaged $220 for all dates. Bob Dylan’s current summer tour with Mavis Staples is seeing floor seat ticket prices just above that average, as his summer dates are clocking in at $290. Sir Paul McCartney’s tour dates aren’t exactly cheap for fans either, as his 2016 tour dates are posting floor seat ticket averages of $590. Roger Waters from Pink Floyd last took to the road for a major tour in 2012, and his floor seats averaged $379 per ticket across all of his performances.

The Rolling Stones are, by far, the most expensive solo show of any of the headliners. The band’s epic 2015 Zip Code Tour had floor seats averaging $1,177 for all of their performances, and although they brought along awesome opening acts (Ed Sheeran, Walk The Moon, etc.), not a single performance featured support as epic or rare as the collective lineup for Desert Trip.

In total, a floor seat to every headlining act’s solo show would be well over the average price of resale floor seat ticket. Currently, a resale three-day pass for floor seats to Desert Trip are averaging $2,661 for Weekend One, while Weekend Two passes are averaging just $2,068, according to data provided by TiqIQ. Although the prices may seem outrageous, they’re considerably cheaper than the cost of seeing each artist independently.

Other lodging options, like airbnb as listed on travel site Hipmunk.com, offers travelers affordable ways to keep the overall festival cost down. Desert Trip boasts a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and so ticket costs adequately and fairly reflect its epicness.

My hunch is that in a few months after the scalpers and other rip off insiders have made their $$$ a Pay Per View is announced. Perhaps like The Dead shows in Chicago last year. Imagine the extra $ from that worldwide? All three nights for maybe $129 or one specific night for $75 (something like that. Plus two weekends to do that? Timing for the East Coast and Europe might make it difficult so maybe e delayed edited show....anyway.....they are going to milk this golden cow!

Yeah, the Dead shows are a good example. I bought a couple and I think you had 30 days to watch them before the link expired. $75 might be steep. But it's not a bad idea.

Could they not do a show with Taylor Swift instead? Even with visual / aesthetic distortions created by Moontrouser's possible 'Cid, to be amongst that many ol' folk sounds extremely depressing / chilling.
