PowerTrip Festival: Crazy...But Not In A Good Way

[@Bee..]

I didn’t expect to be able to go, and was righteously pissed about the prices. A relative decided to buy GA tickets without telling me as a surprise, and I’m thrilled to be able to go, but it shouldn’t have been so infeasible in the first place. When so much of metal music is about freedom and rejecting the abuse of authority, having a concert that’s basically just for the wealthy seems pretty tone deaf, no matter how amazing the lineup is. I’m thrilled to be able to see these folks perform, as I wouldn’t get to see them in my lifetime otherwise, but the organizers shouldn’t be gatekeeping these experiences or pricing the average person out.

[@wyattsmetal]

I completely agree!

[@MVProfits]

Exactly. I am a capitalist... except when it comes to music ha ha. Metal was about passion, rebellion, kinship and so many other things. Making money? Sure, of course, but it was never about just the buck, and that's how these shows of late feel like. And rowdier crowds make for better shows anyway. It's part of the package.

[@colonelhstinkmeaner8547]

For that kind of money they need to add more bands.

​@@Montrealmancanadiens You couldnt afford this concert either. Im going. But i took out a loan..

[@martywebb799]

Bee I've seen OZZY many times including OZZY'S first 2 solo tours with Randy Rhodes I couldn't afford this show in California I've never seen Metallica I live in Texas close to the coast Metallica has 3 shows in August at the spaceship in Arlington,Texas with the stage being in the center of the floor the seats I can afford are after taxes will be 138.60 not bad although 40 years ago I paid 8.00 bucks inflation OZZY ROCKS

[@docwho10th88]

I am so glad to have seen Rush, Ozzy with Randy Rhodes, Van Halen, ACDC both with Bon Scott and Brian Johnson, Scorpions, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Stevie Ray Vaughn plus a ton of other bands MULTIPLE times at a fraction of the cost, and these guys were in their prime! Who remembers paying only $8.00 for each concert? lol Hell, I was just a kid in Jr. High, but I could still afford to go to concerts with my parents weekly $5 allowance! If I cut just two lawns I could buy drinks, food and t-shirts and still have money left over! Even the festivals were cheap! The yearly "Texas Jam" festival in the Cotton bowl was around $15 for 1 ticket! If they are going to charge that much for Power Trip then they will have to gather all of the Dragon Balls, summon Shemron and resurrect Elvis, Michael Jackson and Freddy Mercury to be added to the lineup to justify that outrageous price.

[@saulsquatch2016]

Trade mark infringement using power trips name in the same business. This sounds like a Fyre Fest being set up in the us. Someone is looking to screw over everyone in metal. Way too expensive for nothing.

My mom wanted to get us tickets to go since we've bonded over Ozzy and tool since I was just a little kid back in the late 90s. It really sucks seeing her desperately want to see her idol one last time but having to reconcile it with the fact it would easily be a 5k trip. I wanna go I really do, but for not even a fraction of that I'm seeing Ghost in August with Amon Amarth, both bands which can at this stage very easily put on a show the quality of ozzy or Metallica. It's just hard to justify.

[@puckoster]

with ghost and AA on your schedule you're set for one hell of a time, so dont sweat about it. take your mom to that show, i'm sure she'll enjoy ghost (if AA is too much for her).

[@Littlefluffykittycat]

I would think about it and decide if the experience is worth it to your mom and you. I was feeling down because there has been a lot of negativity surrounding it, and my mom, my boyfriend, and I got tickets. All in all, it’s our decision. I do not have a lot of money, and am scraping together what I can and trying to get extra work to pay off the trip, but we are all so excited. We are also making a road trip out of it and stopping at national parks along the way, which I’m also super excited for! With more people we can split the car and rooms. For me, the ticket price is not just to see the bands but the experience with my family. We lost my dad 2 years ago, and we just realize we need to experience as much as we can, within reason. This is something that probably won’t happen again. People make fun of it, but we are going to make the best of it and hope it’s amazing. Just think if it’s worth it to you, and I completely understand the cost. The ticket alone was going to be the cost of our vacation this year, but we made the decision and have to stick by it now. Good luck with whatever you decide!

Believe it or not, the seats were filled!!! And that was just tonight, Fri Oct 6! I have GA, and if they did not have the two side screens, you wouldn’t see shit!! Unless your crammed in the front.

[@JoeAnderson456]

I took my 13 year-old son and we had GA. When our shuttle got to the grounds, a guy boarded and told us that everyone with a GA ticket would be upgraded. We were unbelievably happy and I'm guessing they didn't want a bunch of empty seats for the areal shots. I thought the screens were really good and I agree, they were needed. I loved the layout, loved southern Cali, had a blast and I know my son enjoyed it. Hope you had a great time.

300 dollar convenience fee. God damn. I don’t think I’ve ever paid more than 300 dollars for a ticket to a 4 day festival. And that would have been an expensive one too. Really is a shame. My friends and I had wayyyy too much fun going to festivals/shows all summer throughout my 20s. Was a great way to travel the country and raise hell and make memories. And really, it was a great, affordable way to have a vacation/adventure as a young person who didn’t have a lot of money. The cost of these things is making it totally unattainable for young people that aren’t rich kids. Such a bummer. This kind of greedy, gouging, artificially exclusive bs feels like the absolute antithesis to what being a part of these music scenes seemed to be all about. I’m not anti profits either. The downright greed is just shameful tho. I feel for the young, adventurous music fans out there. Sad state of affairs, indeed. 😔

[@kamranivari5046]

being a young heavy metal fan total is an absolute joy but also an absolute struggle as I was born into a time where I have to spend whole summers' worth of pay at a minimum wage job just to see all my favorite bands at festivals, and there's no guarantee that the seats will be worth it and the experience will be all good. Just seeing the prices for powertrip just makes me truly jealous that most of the older metalheads got to see their favorite bands in concert for the incredible price of $20 per ticket which could you see the band nearly up close, and further they got their favorite bands in their prime which me even more jealous. I know this statement gets annoying for some people but sometimes I feel I was born in the wrong generation.

[@sargentrowell81]

It's been 7 years since AC/DC just performed, and when Brian was playing with them they were usually only doing about 2 hours if I remember correctly. I think they may have been playing longer when Axle was singing for them but I'm not sure. I would be shocked if they did a 3 hour set, but absolutely love it. They're the only band I really like in the lineup so I'm not interested in going, but it is exciting to have them playing again even if this is the only show they're set to do for now.

[@GamerGeek5]

This will be my first ever concert/festival. I am very excited and i want to see GnR and Acdc before they stop playing. I paid for GA and the camping with your car ticket. It is very expensive but hope its a amazing experience

[@wyattsmetal]

That's an incredible first concert!

[@barrycarter7274]

This is absolutely crazy prices. I saw tool in May 2022. It was a seated ticket in London at the O2 arena (20000 capacity). The tickets were £80 roughly so just over $100. I would assume roughly the same price for the other bands for the same venue. Maybe little more for metallica and acdc. So if I went to the concerts separately then it cost a little bit more than the general admission tickets here. But 3500 to watch 6 bands? I would definitely rather go to 70k or shiprocked or one of the other travel festivals like that. That crowd is gonna be so boring. Bunch of 60 year olds with their mistresses

PowerTrip is kinda a part 2 to two different festivals that were held on the festival grounds. The Big 4 , which had Metallica, and DesertTrip, which it seems like this is going to be its siblings. DesertTrip had Roger Waters , Paul McCartney, Neil Young, the Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan and the Who. The setup for both Desert & Power are the same. Prices too, but no single day and it's not 2 weekends. Each performance was a double set with a few performers having an intermission.

[@hammerfix7241]

FyreTrip sounds awesome!

[@slipknotserge]

As someone who lives in the valley where this is being held, there’s a lot of old n new money here. This show is not for the average fan, but instead for the rich fans

[@paulnewsom4988]

Guarantees The Bands Make These Prices Possible it's Been That Way For Years I To Am Going To This With Daughter And Nefew Sister And I Have Been Going To Conerts Since 1976 ,Yes General Addmission Area is Way Back ,,With Those Who Want To Go Welcome To The Present I Use To See 5 Bands Like This On Festival Called Day on The Green Bay Area in 70s Early 80s 12.50 Ticket Back Then All General Addmission

[@lewisderfuss7537]

Half those bands are playing Aftershock that same weekend but tickets for 4 days is less than $400.

[@StageRight123]

I was thinking about going to the Tool/Metallica date with my daughter, but we're going to be at Aftershock for the previous 3 days, and those tickets were only $1200 for both of us, for all 3 days, and there's about 20 bands playing on multiple stages. Pantera Thursday night, Tool Friday night, and Korn Saturday night, along with about 10 other bands that I want to see spread out over the 3 days.

[@shaneimler9328]

Saw Iron Maiden 10 times, saw Metallica twice, and saw both Ozzy and GNR one time each, in my younger years. For all those shows combined I might have spent $500 and got to see bands like Motorhead, Dream Theater, DIO, Suicidal Tendencies, Danzig, Skid row, Keel, Bon Jovi, Cinderella, and many more open for them.

[@youngmerc7717]

I really want to go because I have never seen ANY of these bands live and If this is the last time AC/DC and Guns & Roses ever perform I will regret it for my whole life… Im 23 with no kids so I know I can make the money back but damn is it so expensive 😭

[@Lemmon714_]

I went to hundreds of concerts in the 80s-90s and I have seen AC/DC 34 times since 1985. There is absolutely nothing better for me than being at an AC/DC concert. It has always been inside a coliseum. We always knew that it meant 3 days of ringing ears because except for a top fuel dragster, I have never heard anything louder than them. What I would give to go back to Charlotte NC in 1985 and see the Fly on the Wall tour after eating a quaalude, sniffing on the coke hitter and sharing endless joints that were passed around by everyone.

[@StageRight123]

Guns N Roses are playing at Aftershock in Sacramento two nights later, and you get Queens Of The Stone Age, Rancid, about 20 other bands for a third of the price. Tool is playing two nights before this at Aftershock, and you get Megadeth, Godsmack, and about 20 other bands, again for a third of the price.

[@Lemmon714_]

I paid $39 at the last AC/DC tour in Charlotte NC. Guns n Roses was $59. Metallica came in 2019 or 2021 and the cheapest tickets were $378. They are such greedy scumbags. No way I will pay that. GnR is coming to Charlotte in August. I remember them taking the stage on the last tour and then I woke up in bed. I may take it easy on the Jack and Coke this time. If you want to save money on alcohol do what I usually do. Buy a pint of Everclear and put it into a ziploc and put that into 2-3 more to be safe. Stuff that into your pants to get in the venue. Just pour a couple shots of that into a large beer. It tastes exactly the same, but obviously much more potent. I quit the drugs in the 80's and I only drink when I go to a concert which is rare.

[@apimpnamedstreetmeat]

I mean AC/DC already confirmed they were gonna do one last tour, so I suppose it's not over yet

[@cindyanne11]

I hear you. I'm 51 and have not ever seen any of these bands live. I'm going to Power trip on a general admission ticket because the rest were just way too egregious of a price. It does make me wonder what they'll do if they don't sell all those tickets. Will they allow GA ticketholders to upgrade for a reduced price? I guess time will tell.

[@richardsanchez5444]

Fkk yeah it's something it's something I'm going to. Just got my package in the mail today

[@maty865]

Are there any opening bands? Anywhere I look it’s only the main bands

[@Louisejames23]

Gotta love the way they clearly aren’t making enough moolah on the crazy ticket price and have to chuck another load of fees on top…. Rock & roll! 🤘😬🤦‍♀️

[@lucasbrown4186]

I’ve loved AC/DC since I was about 9 or 10 years old. At 15 I had tickets to see them until Brian Johnson’s hearing got fucked. I’ll be 23 when I see them at Powertrip. Love the rest of the lineup as well but let’s just hope it’s worth it 🤞🏻

[@lvpuppets]

Nice! I saw them in Vegas right before Johnson had to leave. They will tour again!

[@pastromer8552]

i hope they tour again because they got me into metal and music in general so i hope they do a world tour @@lvpuppets

[@83442handle]

1:07 "thats one hell of a lineup" Yeah like 30 years ago. Maybe I'm just too old and seen too many concerts but the idea of camping for a 3 day festival for these bands would be hell to me. I wouldn't even go to this show if the ticket was free or more likely I would just watch GNR on Friday and bounce out.

[@pedroescareno4355]

I have two pit tickets !! can't wait to camp out there too

[@dickielarue1451]

Greetings from Portugal...Originally from Texas...Been a legal resident here since 2016...Been blessed to live, work and see concerts in over 42 different countries around the world...When I lived stateside I saw GNR and Metallica...at Small venues and clubs...when they first started...Those where the days...and prices...I simply do not do concerts anymore...I go hiking instead...Free and good for ya...😉

[@sshza2143]

Free and good for ya🙌🏆🙋‍♂😁✌😎

[@gtralive-2024]

Adele Las Vegas tickets are 39K 2nd section by stage , not front!

[@christhembones8244]

We are flying from Boston so we only got the General Admission ticket due to the airline, hotel, etc. The GA standing looks very far out in the picture, but I can't imagine it's a full football field length away or is it? In my experience at festivals or stadiums as long as you are on the ground and the sound is going over your head you're good.

[@georgejetson1025]

Is it gonna be streamed ?

[@captaingonzo3335]

Great line up, would love to go. However, I simply don't have enough children to sell, and can't make enough in time.

[@bgrossman]

Sell someone else's

[@colehall2209]

I got one ticket. Im 26 and its basically for me to see them all live once more before they die tour. I only got GA and tent camping or car camping is another like 225 after tax too. Hopefully its good

[@TikisPlayhouse]

i got GA tickets and went with my girlfriend and my best friend. despite it all, expensive af prices, shitty first day (super hot and was not very organized) i don't regret it. but ill admit.....there were some brief moments that i began to regret it, especially day 1. but its an experience that ill always remember.

[@ElPariente1302]

I payed GA my only complaint is how shit and was from the stage, sill loved it tho. I went all three day I live local.

[@jeff316]

Does anyone know if this will be live-streamed or televised, for those of us who would pay-per-view to see it? If so, on what platform? Thanks.

[@israel4ever487]

No disrespect but, I would have replaced tool with rammstein. Just my opinion.

[@youngmerc7717]

This would be so awesome, I love rammstein

[@maxnawas8405]

This festival is just capitalist malarkey. At those kind of prices, I’d rather buy a secondhand car or nice guitar which can lasts a lifetime, instead of a ticket for a festival that only lasts three days

[@anniodelmahamalainen]

I really would love to come and I’m trying to save up for this epic line-up! Although there are few problems that I need to solve before purchasing: I’m from Finland and 19 years old so I need to work really hard for the ticket and flight(s) to be able to buy them. The other thing is the tent camping (which is the only option for me and my budget). I can’t understand (bc my english sucks sometimes) if the price 199$ is for one night or is it including the whole festival time? Luckily I’m crazy enough to be spending all of my money on this. I wan’t to see Ozzy so bad even for once in my life, and the other bands are f*cking awesome too. Never have seen any of them live. And in addition to that I love to spend on experiences more than anything else, live music makes me feel alive! I’m little bit scared tho. What if I miss my flight or get lost in somewhere, travelling alone is a new thing to me and I would be all by myself. I really could use some company there, otherwise I will be so lost. How am I even getting myself from the airport to the festival place (and how much it would cost??) But still - crazy enough for trying this plan!😂 Gonna come back and edit this comment if I got the ticket.

[@rocket69218]

Ouch, I've not been to a festival for years, but I used to go to Reading Festival in the early 90's. The time of Nirvana, Soundgarden, Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jr etc. 3 day tickets were somewhere around £40-£50 if I recall correctly. For context I was earning around £116 a week then in a fairly unskilled job, so less than half a week's wages for a ticket. It was a very different time though, that festival was attended mainly by young (under 25) music fans, and most people at the festival didn't have a ton of money. It wasn't a 'thing' for the well off middle classes like now.

[@mephisto40]

This is madness considering the biggest festival in the world, glastonbury, costs £300

[@cranklabexplosion-labcentr8245]

Power Trip fest > no Monster Magnet

[@barbaraconny1898]

All these shows lately are great but I'm not going to pay that much to see any band. Thanks for the info. Rock on brother
