It really is a shame that these guys are scheduled for Monday, because they are probably among the Top 5 bands I want to see at Sasquatch this year. I have enough for two festival days, but it would be stupid to purchase Friday and Monday stand alone tickets.
On a side note, "don't turn the lights on" is probably my favorite song of theirs at the moment!

If you can get work off Monday, Hanch, you can find free tickets.

If you can get work off Monday, Hanch, you can find free tickets. That's not true this year. If we are to believe the festival almost sold out four day wristbands, that would indicate only a couple thousand single Monday tickets will exist. Last year 25,000 people physically owned a Monday ticket. While the demand for Monday tickets will still be low, the supply will be extremely low, which means they won't be free.

That's a good point, I forgot about the wristbands.

it's not that hard to slip a wristband off, people will definitely be selling them

If they are really scanning bar codes to prevent in and out privileges, I am guessing they will exchange broken/cut off wrist bands for new ones. If that's the case, free entrance to the Monday show should be easy enough to find.

Not if it's like the Bonnaroo wrist bands. I suppose you could cut it then creatively attach it together without drawing attention, but slipping off then on wouldn't be an option.

Well, you can more than likely get a free wristband for Monday. Whether or not you'll be able to get in with a used wristband that has either been stretched or snipped is a different concern. Depends on how thorough the Gorge staff is checking them. Some places just do a visual check to make sure you are wearing a wristband, while others actually give your bracelet a tug to make sure it hasn't been been cut off someone else's wrist. We'll have to see how the Gorge handles it. I'm pretty sure they've done wristbands for some people (press or VIP or something) in the past. Anyone know more about this?
Alternatively, you could befriend someone with a large wrist-to-hand girth ratio. You gotta get in there and see CHROMEO!

Went to see Chromeo at The Roseland this weekend. I thought that the show was lacking something. Musicians! It seemed more like the DJ set that I saw at Sasquatch a couple years ago. I think they just pushed play & tried to look busy.. This was the third time that I've seen them & the worst yet.. They were way better outdoor at night (Rothbury '09). Hopefully they play a later set at Sasquatch or everyone will be sorry..

You gotta get in there and see CHROMEO! my friend got artist passes a couple years ago which were fancy wristbands that allowed you backstage access. We had like 10 people passing them around. Hell, last year patton oswalt took his off and threw it into the audience. it's possible they'll change them but if they're like the old ones they're easy to slip off

Yes, you can slip off the wrist band as long as the person your giving it to has a smaller wrist than you do.. Or use this old festy trick.. Find 5 friends & clip off their excess wrist band material.. You can either stitch or tape all of the excess material to make one wristband.. If you look at it hard enough you will be able to tell.. They won't be able to check everyone's band & this usually works like a charm!

Man.. I wish I could remember more about that last Chromeo show.. but I have bits and pieces coming back to me.. hahah! But seriously, I can't wait to see them at Sasquatch. I know i've seen them already a few times, but they are still my #1 band on the lineup this year. <3 okay.. so now that i've expressed my undying love and devotion to Chromeo...
Someone commented about Bonnaroo wristbands being harder to get off.. I disagree!! I have my fully intact and removed Bonnaroo wristband from 2008. Me and the two other people I went with managed to our wristbands off no problem! The plastic ones will be harder to slide off, but nowhere near impossible. I bet there will be TONS of little wristbands floating around on Monday.

so stoked to see these guys, just wish they could play at night. It would be sweet if their set was late night Friday on the bigfoot stage.

Saw these guys with Daryl Hall last summer at roo, one of the highlights of the weekend. They totally killed it.
Since then I've seen them three times, every time was great. Can't wait for another sexy dance party at sasquatch!
