2009: 36 Acts, 2 Days, 3 Stages.
2010 so far: 28 Acts, 2 Days, 3 Stages. Almost 1/2 of the first year, 2007.

Sure hope they add more acts in. I know the line-up came out about 1 month earlier than the last times, so hopefully more will be added.

Yes, and how much more money than the first year????? And how much more money for the camping????? Oh and how much more for a tow pass?????

[Cooter]

and how much money did the first year cost to put on as opposed to how much was made????

i don't have the answer, but my logical guess is they spent more than they made that year.

Go Cooter, I think Goldenvoice should offer you a job.....

[webwevers101]

I believe that in 08 and again in 09 the main stage set times were longer. The first year there were alot of acts, but they were only 45 min. or so long. They changed the set times to about 1 1/2 hours each for the main acts. So I remember everyone complaining the first year that the main acts were so short.
I don't see how they made that much the first year, I think they wanted it to get off to a great start. This year I am fine with the line-up they have, sure would I like more, but I'am happy with it now, how many more days to go....

I know they lost the first couple years, but that is here nor there, don't take it out on the fans!!! Not our fault.

[Cooter]

so they should be expected to keep running a festival while losing money? are you kidding? costs get passed onto the customers in any business, this is no different.

Nope, but make some changes. The prices of the artists did NOT go up 3x what they were two yrs ago, so why charge 3x more for camping? And now there are even less artists...so even more savings for GV.

They knew exactly what the costs came to after the 1st year. Why is it taking 4 yrs to figure this out?

[Cooter]

didn't realize costs are on a set line. do you pay the same for gas you did 4 years ago? food? entertainment? things fluctuate. and only one or two aspects of camping have gone up. how about how they are letting as many people in as you can cram in your rv or camping spot?

you are very good at pointing out what is negative in your view, how about looking at the flip side for once.

Ok, whatever. Prices have not doubled, and not even tripled!!. Ok AWESOME.... infinity in numbers of people that can fit in an RV. whooo hooo. They know darn well there will probably be max of about 10 if sleeping on top of each other if you are desperate to split costs, but average per RV is 4-6 depending on what grounds you are in. But on the flip side you HAVE to have a festival ticket!! Food has not tripled, nor has entertainment tickets...for ANY venue for that matter, nor has the artists rates/fees.

And Cooter, I am learning from the best on the negative of things.....You!!!

[NicoleErin]

I'll just make my requests again...for good measure!

you don't have to sleep 10 in an RV. Just pile everyone in for the "ride in" to the site. then, people can set up as many tents as you can in your spot.

Yeah, I defenitely agree with this. I think it's all about the quality and not the quantity. Those smaller tents are usually empty... Defenitely not worth it. Nice lineup this year, defenitely likin the Keith Urban etc... That's worth it alone! Keith puts on a great show!

[KittyLeigh]

I think they should wait to announce the lineup until it's more solid. I'm not sure if it's happened EVERY year, but I know that at least last year - and so far this year - I've seen names I'm excited about - then they're gone.

Maybe just announce a few main, solid, artists? Then announce the full official lineup closer to the event? I can't speak for everyone - but I know I'm going regardless of the lineup! Tickets will sell no matter what!

NOW Steeldrivers are off the bill...... SH***T
Who's next Brooks N Dunn

Glad they have my RV $$$$

They need to step up and get some more artist, no Jason + Steeldrivers
pissed....................

[caligirlUCR]

Yeah its kinda like they announed one line up so then everyone buys tickets based on that and then they change it . . . . it doesnt seem right . . . . they dont need to start selling tix 6 months ahead of time . . . I would rather them wait until they are SURE of the lineup before they put it out there.
