OZZFEST IF FREE THIS YEAR...!!!

[Liquid Diamonds]

Free festival = the sex.

Wish we got a free festival. If you don't wanna pay extortionate vendor prices, take your own shit in a rucksack man!!!

 

[FullMetalCornflake]

If theres a couple bands I wanna see I'll probably go. I'll just pack a backpack with plenty of water and snacks so I don't have to buy a bunch of food there.

Shit, the last Ozzfest I went to (2000), they didn't let you take in any inside food/drink. They made people empty out their backpacks...

 

[in_absentia]

Yeah, was just going to bring that up. They will make you tip out your backpack.

 

[soundave]

Of course they will. And you'll have to pay out the ass for food and merch. What else is new? Ozzfest was one of the most fun concerts I've been to, and I'll definitely go for free.

 

[Demilich]

No Sabbath = no dice for me!

 

[Scourge of Malice]

Ah, guess my backpack idea is done

 

[BurningSky]

I was kinda hoping this thread meant were "Ozzfest free" this year.. but alas

 

[metal_wrath]

I refuse to post in a thread with such a retarded title

 

[dishcloth]

wter there alone is $10, I'm pretty curious to see what it will be now.

If anyone tried to sell a bottle of water to me for $10, I would tell them to ram it up their scumbag profiteering arse. Thats an absolutely ridiculous price.

 

[Pethical]

^ and thats US dude! it would be $13.30 aud!!!

 

[dishcloth]

^ Exactly. Same sort of thing happens here. Sporting events here, a mid strength beer is around $8 and you get like 250ml, the mark up is like 600% to R.R.P. It's bullshit.

 

[SPLASTiK]

it's a free festival you guys are having there. you guys are gonna see sabbath for free. how about shutting up and enjoying it?

Well, I doubt Sabbath is playing since Iommi and Geezer are playing with Dio in Heaven and Hell this summer...

But anyways, apparently they lost 1.5 million dollars last year with the festival some people have said so they're trying to rethink how to run the festival. They were paying System of a Down over $325,000 a night from what Sharon was saying on Blabbermouth article I read!!! Maiden was only making $185,000 in comparison.

 

[Esplendor]

Dude...wish the festivals in europe were free

 

[in_absentia]

Same here! Lol free metal festival in Australia... you're gamin.

bunch of whiners. hydrate yourself in the car on the way to the festival, and stop bitching about the cost and inflation of event goods and refreshments. this concept has been the norm since day one, and by no means is anyone forcing you to purchase any of it. its called supply and demand. thousands of people attending...and only hundreds of available water bottles. do the math.

Absolutely. I used to go to the US Open (Tennis) every year, and you'd have to bring a fat wad to be able to eat or drink anything. It's the nature of events like that. Deal.

 

[BurningSky]

^I think it cost me like 16 or 17 bucks to get a burger, fries, and bottled water at the US Open. Quite ridiculous. But it was worth it because it was a really fun day.

 

[Pethical]

that's just about how much it costs in the u.k normally haha

 

[Don Corleone]

the uk is way too expensive. 15 euros for a pack of ciggies? wtf? the uk helped me quit though, thanks

 

[soundave]

Anyone get their free tix yesterday?

BTW, food is supposed to be the same price as always. Which is expensive anyway...

Got mine. It'll be cool to see Nile...
