Who's coming this year and what is your favorite band to see? Mine are Barren Earth and Psychotic Waltz

[Tiki108]

I'll be there and I'm most excited for Demons & Wizards. I'm extra excited cause this is the first year I get to go with a Gold Badge!

I'll be there, of course. (Hell, I'm local.)
I'm actually co-sponsoring Barren Earth.

Too busy with 70K and ProgPower USA to even consider Wacken

for me it's the other way round - I just can't make it to PPUSA every year
I'm even kinda glad that Fri/Sat isn't really my cup of tea, making it easier for me to skip it again...

There's also the location factor. For you it is easier to go to Wacken, for me it's PPUSA

Nice. I got my first gold badge last year

What are your thoughts about having to pay for Gold Badges as soon as public sales open?

What are your thoughts about having to pay for Gold Badges as soon as public sales open?

When were those payments due before?

I have to think that if Glenn pushed the payment date forward, it's because of added expenses from the "front-end" -- things like obtaining work visas for overseas bands who need them. They're not cheap, and as we've discovered, that process HAS to be started way early. (Remember that the money from regular Ticketmaster sales doesn't arrive in Glenn's pocket until AFTER the event has taken place.)

You hit the nail in the head there. I always though having a December deadline was one of the perks of owning a gold badge, but it seems like it's gone. Times change and we must adapt

This is coming up very SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON......

Who's going? We should have a meet-up again!

Provided Dorian doesn't fuck us The irony of having Demons and Wizards there is not lost on me But seriously, I'll be pissed if they're playing Dorian and we're not there

[cegr80]

Shall we do a group photo? If so, on which day and where?

[Tiki108]

Sorry, totally forgot to keep up with this. If a photo does happen, I’ll try to be there, but obviously this is a little late. I know a bunch of people are going to Vortex tonight.

Also, I’m totally fine paying for my gold badge right away. It’s only about a 6-7 hour drive for us, so we intend to go until Glenn calls it quits in 2024. The way I look at it, the only downside is I can’t pay by credit card, so I don’t get any rewards, but whether I pay for it upfront or later doesn’t make much of a difference to me.

I’d pay for 70k sooner, but Andy just won’t send the damn booking codes!

Once again, another amazing year in Atlanta. Had a blast with friends and some good quality bands. Even found some survivors and spoke with forum users Sgt. B and Pellaz during the festival

It was a great year. Aside from a slight delay on Saturday everything ran right on schedule and the sound and lighting were both good.

Ihsahn next year, too!
