You're...so...lucky...

 

[Polyphonic Twilight]

Sort of.

Bands I like never have actual concerts here, they only play at festivals.
So the bad side: It's costs about $150, is a three hour train ride away, and if there any meet&greets it's almost always on the last day. And if you've lived in a tiny tent in some muddy field for three days, and have stood in the crowd for a hundred shows, and on top of that have to stand in line for two hours, you definitely look like crap. (Meet and Greets are off limits for me though. My friends are like "you can drag us from show to show, and make us see all these bands we've never heard of, but we're not standing in line for hours and hours so that you can hug some guy who won't even remember you anyway!")

The good side: It's fun fun fun!

The tickets cost $150??? eek

OMG. Smack your friends. Meet some hotties! XDD

 

[Polyphonic Twilight]

Yup. That includes camping and the train fee, but still. It's really expensive. And you have to pay for food, and everything there is ridiculously over priced.

My friends just don't get the 'hot band member craze' xp domokun They tease me all the time about how much I'm into music, and know who the band members are, and stuff like that...  

[PrimeRibby]

Yeah, they always overprice the food and stuff because they know that people have to eat. It's ridiculous. rolleyes

I don't see how people can't be in love with them. Haha.

 

[Polyphonic Twilight]

Yeah, and on top of that, they have major restrictions the on food and drinks that you're allowed to bring with you. "For safety reasons."
Ok, so I can understand no glass bottles. But no plastic bottles? No cans? I mean, what else does that leave?  

[PrimeRibby]

Paper cups. gonk

 

[Polyphonic Twilight]

I can just imagine everyone getting there, carrying a tray filled with paper cups full of soda and stuff xd  

[PrimeRibby]

And stuff.
-cough- Vodka. -cough cough-

 

[Polyphonic Twilight]

Yeahhh...

But alcoholic drinks aren't allowed xp Except for the beer that you can buy there.  

[PrimeRibby]

WTF. scream That's dumb.
Actually, it isn't. xD

 

[xWIDEawakeXX]

Hey, what is Pukkelpop?  

[Polyphonic Twilight]

It's a three day music festival 3nodding heart

(Unofficially; four, since most people arrive at the camping the day before it starts and there's always a huge party that night xp )
