Attn GV - huge ticket scam this year

[Jakewc151]

Hi I hope someone from GV reads this because I don't think this was fair for all of us ticket buyers..

This year on all 3 days there were numerous (and I mean atleast a group of 10 people) working at the grounds illegally letting people in for money.. They were carting people in by about 5 at a time and were letting them in with the "field" bracelet.. Once they got in they took the bracelet and repeated the process. Each person was charged 50 dollars.. Each round brought in about 250$ and they had to of been doing it all day..

This wasn't just some small-time gig either.. I am sure each person was making well into the 1000-2000$ each day..

thanks

Dude what the fuck was that?
I noticed that all three days too. Like average looking schmoes driving the carts in and out. They didn't appear to have any VIP status either.

Damn ripoff.

I saw a Security Guard escort 2 women to the front of the Main Stage on Saturday. Of course, people step aside when they see a Security Guard. I wonder what he got paid.

Yes, but sorry I will rat on the stupid locals or the employees at GV who are exploiting us for money..

Shit like this happens...
I see it every year.
And yes, it pisses me the fuck off.
In this case, either membership has its privileges,
or its not what you know, its who you blow.
It's also the nature of the beast.
It will never change.

Was this during Cafe Tacuba on Saturday?

Some security guard led these two girls in front of me sort of acting like they were looking for something, and they just stopped and started listening to the music.

Is this what I pay for?

Maybe they found out cuz security amped way the fuck up on Sunday. I had a field wristband and they had like 5 people checking it at both gates you had to walk thru between the Gobi and Mojave tents.

5th year, yeah but i still can enjoy smaller crowds, like Friday. Actually being able to move between bands easily and fit into Mojave or Gobi is a novelty i enjoy
