General Discussion Absolute rookie going solo, looking for some insight

Upvotes

Hi all,

I ended up purchasing a ticket for Submersion fest in New Jersey in October. I'm going solo as a 35 year old man, and I've never been to a music fest. I'll be traveling from Florida to the fest. I've been to hundreds of shows, raves, all that good stuff. I've done a little bit of camping in my life. But I'm getting a little nervous, and just want to be prepared. I don't have ANY camping gear at the moment, so I'm starting fresh.

I'm looking for some advice, anything to help guide me along the way. any input would probably help out a lot.

I’m 34F and I’ve only been to a couple music festivals, but most of my friends are too broke to go. Is there any way I can find a group to go with? I mainly want to do the big ones.

Country Thunder Country Thunder should let fans buy meet and greet tickets—not rely on random luck

Thumbnail
c.org
Upvotes

If you go to Country Thunder, you know how it feels when meet and greet tickets are given away randomly. You're competing against thousands of other fans for a tiny chance, and most of us lose. That's not fair to the people who travel hours, spend hundreds on passes and hotels, and show up year after year.

I started a petition asking Country Thunder to sell official meet and greet upgrade tickets directly through their website instead. Right now, it's basically a lottery. But if you're willing to pay extra to meet your favorite artist, why shouldn't that be an option? It's how other festivals do it, and it works.

This isn't about taking opportunities away—it's about giving fans *more* choices. Loyal attendees deserve a shot at creating those memories without hoping we get lucky. Plus, it could actually help the festival generate more revenue to keep improving the event.

Does this frustrate anyone else? Have you ever missed out on a meet and greet you really wanted? If this sounds like something you care about too, consider signing and sharing—let Country Thunder know this matters to us.

Lost Lands Traveling Friends?

TL;DR - Solutions needed for leaving Legend Valley at 4/4:30AM on Monday 9/21

Hey folks, this will be my 6th Lost Lands with my sister! Originally from Chicago, but I made a big move out to Alaska this summer, which now complicates traveling in my head 😆

Anybody coming from Anchorage have any advice for me?

Getting there is no problem, I'm on the 4pm flight out of Anchorage on the 14th then hopping on the red eye flight from Seattle to Columbus.

I'm just planning on hanging out at the airport til the afternoon, but if anyone wants to hang out, you'll know where to find me!

Anywhoooo

The problem is getting back!

My flight getting out is 7AM on Monday back to Seattle.

Anybody already heading that way or have suggestions on what to do?

Renting a vehicle seems impractical, and it seems that shuttles don't start up until 6.

I CANT WAIT TO BE BACK WITH DINOSAURS AND THE FESTY FAM!

General Discussion Hey Guys Need Help !!!!!

Hey everyone! 👋

I'm working on a case study about music festivals in India. I'm looking at different music festivals like Lollapalooza, Sunburn, and trying to understand what people are really looking for from a festival experience.

https://forms.gle/ta4nZTqMkahyt6W96

It would help a lot if you could fill out this quick survey. It's anonymous and takes about 5 minutes.

Feel free to share it with friends too, the more the merrier!!

Thank you so much for helping out. 🙏

Other Music Festival Festival Friends throw "Fundravers" to raise money for their... Orphanages?!

Post image

Imagine you and your friends somehow run orphanages in the Congo together and in order to raise desperately needed money to support your mission you start throwing "fundravers" across the country. Sounds crazy, right? Well.. welcome to Beyond the Rhythm!  

We partner with artists to throw down some sick concerts. You and your friends show up and have the best night ever and we get to keep running our orphanages. Seems like a fair deal, right?

Seriously though, check out our organization "Fesser and Friends" and come support the cause! It means more to us than you could ever know <3
