$300. It's seriously getting steep. I know I know, it's a value blah blah blah. But most festivals are cheaper or better.


It was $290 presale last year and $285 the year before that, nothing has really changed.

Meanwhile Coachella tickets have gone from ~$300 to $350 in the same time, not including camping.

I know Coachella isn't Sasquatch but all things considered the price hikes have been pretty reasonable for Sasquatch.

That's true. But $300 is a significant psychological milestone for me. And we don't have Radiohead.

Plus, why should it cost any more? Same festival, same camping, same level of music (roughly speaking). Hard to say why that costs more, other than the general principle of "charge more each year."

That goes for Sasquatch or any festival. Are we paying for the NW hip hop stage?

Sasquatch price increases have been roughly on pace with inflation and Coachella charges more because they can. They are all businesses trying to make money so charging less when people will pay more doesn't make much sense.

Thankfully Sasquatch had a slow (non-existant?) Sellout last year so they know they can't charge much more than last year.

300 is a bit of a mental hurdle though.

Annual inflation is less than 2%, tickets went up 5%. Not a huge difference but still. I mean I know it's a business, duh-doi, but what I'm saying is, fucking businesses fucking suck. If I had a sandwich shop and I charged 5.50 for a reuben, I wouldn't raise the price to 6.00 next week because reubens have been selling well. Damn, man.

This is why your sandwich shop failed, drew.

I feel like more of a nerd than normal for pointing this out, but from $285 to $300 in two years is a 2.6% increase per year. (technically 1.75% the first time and 3.45% the second time).

And if your sandwich shop was selling so many sandwiches that you couldn't keep up with demand then you would be silly to not raise the price.

Fuck, you beat me to it. I wasn't going to let that slide, but I would've included a joke about his sandwhich shop failing because he sucks at math.

Two skills easily overshadowed by knowing what you're doing in the bedroom and on the dance floor.

So don't sweat it, dude ;)

While trying to validate mine, he accidentally invalidated it. In the eclipse of my life, FD is both the shadow and the ring of nuclear fire.
