The line at EDC was the worst thing ever. It was completely uncontrollable up to the first taped off line, people were getting crushed. The same goes for the final break to the actual searches.
I waited for 2 hours starting at the back of the line at 5:30 and finally cut up to the push fest, where it took another 45 minutes to finally get in.
I don't understand why groovetickets has fences for a line but the switchbacked snake of a line where everyone cuts doesn't.
Waiting for 2 hours at TAO wasn't even as bad.
To top it off, $25 parking (instead of $15 at last year's EDC) and $4 waters just slaps me further in the face.
Last but not least, at one of the drink stands that was "out of $1 bills as change," I had to argue with one of the ladies who thought a $6 monster drink and a $4 water equaled $11.

| I doubt anything will be done unless demand goes down. I also doubt the demand will go down. |

NO...
the fact that they have been able to throw parties for the last 10-15 years and bring in huge talent gets respect from me. Weather you like the people they book or the parties they throw, for them to be doing what they are doing while almost every promoter from the 90's bailed out is props to them. |

Jesus H. Christ! Those guys work way to hard for someone to come in here and try to slam them cuz you had to wait in line like 60 thousand other people. I personally love being in line you really feel the excitement people have to be part of something like this.
I don't think the rest of this crowd gave 2 s about the line. Great show! Insomiac rocked it!

Everything was cheaper last yr! Even gas prices! I was happy paying the $25.00 for parking where as others paid $40.00 or more! No complaining from me there. Besides I thought Insomniac didn't have anything to do with the parking.
Paying $4.00 for water was OK for me too! I was expecting to pay way more!
INSOMNIAC ROCKS! :gsmile: |

No way! Insomniac throws done every year - same with skills. The massives are a must to support the scene. If it were up to clubs only, the underage would never be able to see the djs they are growing up with. Also, having massives that can hold thousands, especially in the EDC venue, is like nothing else in the state. So prices are high, lines are long, same artists, etc. but just think how bad the scene would be without insomniac. Artists hear that LA has a good reputation because of all the events and massives. If it were purely clubs, it would be a lot harder and more expensive to book quality acts. I asked above and beyond what they thought about playing at the massive last year and they loved it. They say between djs, talking about gigs helps make the artist feel more secure before playing at an event knowing there will be a good crowd, be it a club or massive. And they told a few about the event, even made a video about it. ANd IMO nothng beats an outdoor stage massive. Yea its a short set and what not, but the vibe of the show being outdoors (one stage) instead of just a indoor massive or tents only is just amazing.
Keep on tearing things up Insomniac!
(Just look at the pics from Rukes - explains it all) |
