I got that same message, "please choose another shipping method" a few times(shipping to us)...I chalk it up to there being other orders being processed at the same time, after trying a few times, it let me log on and proceed to the payment options...

I'm stunned at the $300 sticker price of these "holiday offer" tickets. That's a pretty solid price hike from last year, if I'm not mistaken. The one benefit is that camping is included in a Sasquatch ticket but $300 bucks is only $50 less than Coachella pre-sale and I'm sorry to say but unless Sasquatch does a mega overhaul of their ticket packages and presentation, food, campground activities, general organization and production, in venue activities and shelters there is no way to justify that slim of a price margin between the two.

That's kinda funny, hey? Considering Canadians seem to pretty significantly outnumber Americans at Sasquatch, Adam Sacks should be hand delivering each ticket package and giving out free blow jobs to our loyal Northern neighbors.

I had the exact same experience with the website. If I hadn't called ticketmaster to correct my address, I'd be in the same boat as you. The rep I had on the other end said that UPS was a mistake and that they are never allowed to use UPS to Canada, so she canceled it. I escalated it to a manager and he confirmed. He said I only had 1 option. I'm tempted to call back now and see if another manager says the same thing. I'd way rather know it's coming UPS...

BE-Ro-n-ce:

I've never been to Coachella, but the simple fact that there are 25,000 people at Sasquatch and 110,000 at Coachella is going to influence the ticket price by a huge amount.

Would you rather they reduce the price and jam an extra 10,000 people in the gorge?

Also, if you need your campground activities to be organized by Sasquatch, you're doing Sasquatch wrong.

You're saying presale last year was $285? How was my general sale ticket $290 then?

The presale price has the ticketmaster fee incorporated.

I think the general sale of $290 did not include a $15 ticketmaster fee + $10 shipping fee. = $315

A couple day ago I checked my receipt from last year, and is said $315 a ticket. I got them in the presale following the lineup release.

I'm not sure if you understand how supply and demand works. If there is less of something available and a demand for it than generally the price will go up. If there are less tickets and a demand then one would assume that Sasquatch tickets would be more expensive than Coachella tickets regularly. The fact is that there isn't as high of a demand for Sasquatch tickets as is apparent by the fact that they don't sell out in record time everytime they are offered which is why they have been offered at a cheaper price, in my opinion. I think that Sasquatch being a smaller venue with less demand would offer the ticket at a less competitive price with Coachella which is undoubtly one of the most in demand and largest festivals stateside.

It would make no sense to cram 10,000 extra people in a venue that couldn't even maintain it, Coachella has a larger venue and spreads out over two weekends so I'm not entirely sure what your point is there. Or where you are getting this 110,000 number from. Last I heard, only 80,000 to 85,000 people showed up over the 3 days in Weekend 1 which has its own set of variables.

Lastly, in terms of campground activities, I mean things to do during the day, campground charging stations, a Farmers Market to get more than slop from, a silent disco in a covered venue and late night organized shows within the campground. Sorry to break it to you, but after hammering my brain into matter multiple days, I would have killed so see a snake charmer play an Oboe, danced in a covered area or slept without Red Bull tent blasting Black Eyed Peas in my life.

What were they pre-lineup release? I would also like to clarify I said "if I'm not mistaken". Either way, I have never seen pre-tax price be more that $290 and I would like to see where its going because I didn't last year. Did I have the time of my life? Yes. Did I meet my husband? Yes. Do I wish that a portion money went to me not having to stand in line for a wristband, better food and a carnival ride for me to be on when I was cranked out on too many substances? Yes. Yes. Yes.

I was going to write out an entire post mocking your understanding of economics and point out that your supply and demand graph would result in a cost approaching free if you wanted a private 1 on 1 show from the 100+ Sasquatch artists, but then you implied that Spicy Pie is Slop.

This conversation is over.

GOOD DAY TO YOU.

I SAID GOOD DAY.

I have enjoyed this conversation immensely, and would like to add that Coachella and Sasquatch are not even in competition with one another. They're similar yes, but they're not the same thing. Additionally, when you book roughly the same number of artists but can only fit about 1/6 of the crowd, the price will inevitably be at very least on par with your behemoth cousin to the south.

If the same artist played a stadium show, an arena show, and a small club all in the same city, on the same tour (hypothetical of course), the Stadium would make the most money with the cheapest seats, while the club would make the least money with the most expensive seats.

You are comparing a stadium show to an arena show right now and basing it on regional supply and demand.

It's like you're trying to compare apples and oranges by niceness.
