Mr. Musicface Posted April 28, 2003 Report Share Posted April 28, 2003 Nice! Guess the Neil Young rumour was wrong but Mule and Petty make up for it in my books! Just gotta talk the wife into it... Peace, Mr. M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted April 28, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2003 Here's the part that hurts. TICKET PRICE: Tickets for BONNAROO NE 2003 are priced at two levels. The first tickets will be priced at a special rate of $164.50 each. There is a limited allotment of tickets at this price. When the initial allotment is sold out, ticket prices will increase without notice to $189.50. and there is conflict with going to darien, hard to do both.

Mr. Musicface Posted April 28, 2003 Report Share Posted April 28, 2003 Yeh and it gets worse: -Service charges are $12.00 PER TICKET. This includes a $1 charity donation. -Shipping charges are $8.00 PER ORDER, for orders shipped to addresses in the United States. All international orders (including Canada) are $15.00 PER ORDER. So assuming you get first tier, here's the rough damage using the $ converter at http://www.xe.com/ucc/convert.cgi 191.50 USD = 277.667 CAD - M.

Phunky Cauldron Posted April 28, 2003 Report Share Posted April 28, 2003 That's wicked, but man is it ever expensive. 164.50 + 12 (service charge) + 15 (shipping) = 191.5 USD = $277 CDN That's just not possible for me. Ah well, for those who can swallow that price tag...have a blast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewie Posted April 28, 2003 Report Share Posted April 28, 2003 so what do you guys think? TN vs NE? who has the better line up? i know the ne line-up is not 100% made yet but what is the thinking here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted April 28, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2003 I think I am going to stick with darien. The Dead Virginia Beach Ampitheatre show on June 17 was just announced as well. And Red Rocks, but that's a bit too far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted April 28, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2003 TN is better and will have a better vibe. And that's not because I am skipping NE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shainhouse Posted April 28, 2003 Report Share Posted April 28, 2003 I simply cannot afford this one. plain and simple. plus I'm doing dead @ Darien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinw Posted April 28, 2003 Report Share Posted April 28, 2003 I think this one looks pretty good. The Dead, Mule, Dylan, Cheese, and I have alwasy wanted to see Tom Petty. It is fairly close to drive to as well- not like going all the damn way to Tennessee. If I can get some people lined up I will definately check this out.

Tooly Posted April 28, 2003 Report Share Posted April 28, 2003 mule, dylan, dead, mmw, Ween, les claypool, yonder, NMAS,,,, all awesome bands and good reasons to go, im not though, thats a bit spendy for me. no cheese for me either, i must be lactose intolerant or something;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peacedude Posted April 28, 2003 Report Share Posted April 28, 2003 wow thats really expensive. I gotta think about this one, especially considering I have Dead tickets for Darien... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyberHippie Posted April 29, 2003 Report Share Posted April 29, 2003 Wow, I sure would like to see String Cheese! For me that's the only band that's really missing from the TN lineup. But other than that I think the TN lineup looks a little better. But I'm sure there will still be more 'major' additions. I'm really suprised at the difference in price though. I think the extra $$ will keep me from switching, looks like I'll stick with TN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon. Posted April 29, 2003 Report Share Posted April 29, 2003 why oh why am I soo broke? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weirdness Posted April 30, 2003 Report Share Posted April 30, 2003 Tough call on which lineup is better. The TN crowd will likely be a bit more relaxed, but the craziness of the east coast can make for some interestesting times as well. And yes, the pricing is out of control, couldn't imagine NE being more than the TN one. Have to admit though, if I had the coinage and time to do both, it'd be a blast!!! Summer is going to be fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikey d Posted April 30, 2003 Report Share Posted April 30, 2003 wow both line ups are great. MMW are playing both! id like to see SCI, dave & tim and bob, but TN has a great line-up too. too bad im piss broke and can hardly afford the $10 allman bros grass tickets. aaaaahhh welllll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
headygouda Posted April 30, 2003 Report Share Posted April 30, 2003 $200 is not really that much for DMB teenie boppers who normally pay ~$80-100 to see Dave anyway...though it is dave & tim. I guess bonnaroo NE is supposed to be the summer's last big squeeze (after IT the weekend before) to milk us of any coinage we might have left. Cool to see the dead opening and closing their summer tour(s) with bonnaroo! Too bad camping in august on long island doesn't sound that appealing...what a scorcher its gonna be!
