just bought my tickets yesterday, and even though they are astronomically priced, it is still worth it ($117.00 for one ticket).
is that a three-day ticket or just for one day?

$117.00 for one day!  :smth011

and don't be surprised if morrissey cancels hours before he is supposed to go on (happened at the kroq inland invasion in 2004).

you're right haha. when i saw that line-up i was just thinking "they must be incredibly brave (or, slightly... stupid :-P) over there, to sign morrissey (for a headliner)...".
i have an idea for them, how to handle it, how to avoid himm cancelling on the very last minute and embarrass them all: 
they should just change the line-ups and put the cure and morrisey on a same day: the cure would headline and morrissey be second or third in the bill. then he would cancel with certainty (and well in advance :D).
:lol:



I believe Sir Paul McCartney is headlining night one.  ;)

I might be going to night 3.  We'll see.  I'm up for a promotion at work, which if I get I'd have to move to Portland.  The move would conflict with Coachella.  I've already booked a hotel just in case I don't get the job.  :P

Ooooooh, I hope I can go! I spent too much money flying to LA to see them last December. But it was an experience of a lifetime. Cochella will set me back a few digits for sure.

Yeah going to LA in december put me in the hole.
I think I have like $45 right now.
Plus no one wants to go with me.
I'm sad.
Hope everyone who goes has lots of fun.

Paul McCartney is headlining that day, not Morrissey. 

And it's extremely likely that The Chemical Brothers will be announced as the true headliner for Saturday.  Though, quite frankly, The Killers are big enough in the US to headline the day just fine.

Judging by the lineup, it looks like a bargain to me.

I've not been, but from friends who have, I don't believe there are any seats.

no, everything is general admission. parking lot opens at 9am, doors at 11. unlike when the cure played at the inland invasion in 2003, those who get there early when the doors open actually have a chance of getting close to the main stage.  :smth023

please remember to bring sunscreen and a hat. i made the mistake of not bringing either when i saw the cure and was in the sun from 11am to whenever the sun went down. i had recently shaved my head and lemme tell u, a sun burnt, blistered noggin' is not fun.  this is what i looked like and felt----> :smth011

thanks for the info. I was confused because when I looked for tickets at ticket master the results showed tickets with seats and rows assigned to them.

Yes, it's an old interview (from Coachella 2004).  Also, notice at the beginning it says Bonnaroo  :lol:

hi there, i have sort of a lame idea for a game to play with the upcoming coachella and vegas shows.

cure fans try and come up with the set list for each show, or just one, and the member who is closest to the actual set wins i dunno, 10 karma points or an upgraded cure fan status? of course, this all depends if the moderators agree to these terms. maybe 10 karma points for the member closest to the actual setlist, and an upgraded status for the member who guesses/comes the closest the correct order of songs?

Hey, that sounds like a good idea.  The staff will talk this over  :smth023

That would be a lot of fun.  I'd be up for something like that.

In fact, I already worked up setlists that I expect to see if anyone would be interested.
