Thank all you sailors onbroad once again!

[Rayzor]

Beer > all other stuff

Fixed. Just picked up my tickets to Graspop so we're going to get our first taste of a European Metal festival. If the trip were for the festival alone it's looking like it would be a little cheaper than the 70k trip. Of course, cruise vs hanging out in a field, that shouldn't be a surprise.

They had Bacardi girls at Jalometalli. And Jaloviina girls at many festivals.
Plain vodka is a household item, so no need to promote it.

Ewwww Bacardi is gross!

Some interesting statistics for 2012 if you haven't came across them already.

- 2,051 'paying passengers' (an increase of 13 from 2011)
- 51% of those were 'veterans' so 1,046 of the 2,038 from 2011 returned.
- 25% from Germany, 25% from USA. Next most represented country was Canada. Australia was the 7th most represented.
- 100 journalists
- 452 band members, roadies etc
- 879 crew

We'll never know the full count since they were all undocumented

[KDibildeaux]

That's not much of a sale for me

More dudes on metal festivals = more girls pulling the booze sales of stuff nobody wants to buy

More hot girls pulling the sales = More gets sold

Works, even though it shouldn't

shocking!

2011: 17 % Germans
2012: 25 % Germans
2013: 50 % ?????

Are the Journalist included in the paying Passengers? Do they have to pay?

Me too! though I think they get 50% off

[cowboy71]

While I don't perceive that UMC will adhere to the same 'timeline' as last year, I thought it would be timely for a comparison. As if the similar timeline *were* adhered to, we would be 2 weeks from knowing the dates, and exactly one month from knowing the first bands!

29 March 2011 - Dates officially announce for 70k 2012
18 April 2011 - First bands announced for 70k 2012
20 April 2011 - Veterans got their booking emails

[Memnoch]

I think it depended on what magazine they were writing for. I met one creepy German journalist dude who said he paid 50% and one other journalist who said he got on for free.
Would think that if the mag was something like Unicorn Monthly with only one subscriber the price would be higher than, say, for Metal Hammer or similar.

No way Unicorn Monthly has fewer subscribers than Metal Hammer

[WizardBeast]

I've got two subrscriptions, one for home and one for work

Don't lie, you get Unicorn Daily! It's never enough.

Well there are quite a few unicorn humpers

As per info the latest Sweden Rock Magazine has info/interviews/stories from 70k

I don't get the magazine myself though, but my pizza lunch date from earlier today told me some about it

Cool! Would be nice to read it

From last year UMC posted a pdf of the scanned pages

Might get the same again this year!

Though it would be in Swedish I guess

That could make it a little difficult

[mooyagi]

I hope UMC does this one band an hour thing for 70K too.

Very , wonder how much longer it will go on.....,

[mooyagi]

I hope UMC does this one band an hour thing for 70K too.

It was very nice!!

And also of course very nice to have almost 50% of the bands done before booking starts, anyone still not sure if they want to go due to lineup can just stay home

you really only care about band #16 though

[KevinP]

I don't need Thanks, I need:


BOLT THROWER, THE 11th HOUR, BEFORE THE DAWN

[biertroll]

I don't need Thanks, I need:


BOLT THROWER, GORGUTS, HAIL OF BULLETS

[DrinkMoxie]

yeah... I went to bed after announcement 15, happy to be only 2/15
and then I woke up to find out about Hypocrisy... damnit, I hope they're on 70k too


and I'd be thrilled with this kinda day for 70k!

[DemonNIN]

I hope UMC does this one band an hour thing for 70K too.

I guess the only thing I'm scared of is taht we'd get a bunch of "yeah I'm fucking death and brutal and anything silly or not tr00 can fuck off" type of fans onbroad Barge.
Hopefully they don't get enough of their wish list bands and/or that they can't afford it
I want fun, friendly, cool people onbroad, not a bunch of stupid cunts

well said!!

[Tuup]

I hope UMC does this one band an hour thing for 70K too.

No it wouldn't, because that would probably be the whole weekend before departure in that case

That worries me a bit too (although I don't expect too many) but either way there will be plenty of awesome forumites on broad, and we know how those people are
