ATP setting up shop @ the Brooklyn Flea, get tickets there

Looks like the festival is not selling well. Booking the same headliner for two nights was a bad moves, especially since Portishead is also doing NYC shows.

"$5 booking fee per ticket"

A booking fee for buying in person? So, how does one purchase tickets at "face" value?

This festival is always phenomenal, but I'm inclined to agree with 11:38.

There isn't enough for your average festival goer to freak out over, and there's not enough of a pool of past-ATPUSA attendees to fill in the cracks.

The additional announced Mangum shows definitely didn't help either. If they would've announced two Mangum dates from the jump, at least they could've doubled their initial sales on his name alone.

i'm honestly looking forward to it being kind of empty... should be awesome.

I'm with 11:45, though that also worries me about the future of the festival. They've gotten close to capacity a couple of times, but has it EVER sold out?

yea, if i'm buying 'em in person, give me a discount for crissakes. how can you get to ATP via public transportation BTW?

@11:52

NJ Transit train to Asbury Park. It's like 12 bucks, and it stops like 1/3 mile from the venues/hotels

I've gone for the past three years to ATP New York and always had a blast. The music, the vibe, the whole experience is great. I would have been nice to get a different headliner for Sunday night but I guess if you can only see Portishead one of the two nights anyway, it will be nice to see them on Saturday and then take off a little early on Sunday night to get back to the city at a reasonable time. Not to mention that the rest of Sunday's lineup is pretty sweet!

you think they are going to add any more acts to the bill? Be great to see a band like Caribou or the Liars or someone of that magnitude added at the last minute.

Trust me kids. If you had to pick a venue, I would want to see Portishead at Convention Hall where it will probably be pretty crowded but not sold out aka....around 2000 people against sold out Hammerstein Ballroom where the floor will be cluster fuck with over 4000+ like those Pixies shows two years ago at Hammerstein.

plus Mogwai, Public Enemy, and more.

This is gonna be amazing. Seriously, people should get on board. If you haven't been its significantly better than you can even imagine.

Nobody wants to go to NJ!

Especially NY hipsters who can't get over there. Makes this event that much better already!

Yeah, it's really selling poorly, that's why every hotel in Asbury has been sold out since the beginning of the year.

This will not be "empty." It might not be totally, unpleasantly packed to the gills like other awful festivals, but it will not be empty. ATP does it right. This is going to be a great weekend.

once they add radiohead, all the tickets will be gone. they're giving you every chance to get them now, so no complaining when it's sold out!

I only really give a shit about Oneida doing a 10 hour Ocropolis.

I know BV commenters are e-haters (I am one), but ATP is the jam.

what's an "e-hater"?

emo-hater....aren't we all?

yeah that goes without saying, who likes emo?

or i should say... what emo became.

ATP= nerd convention

Hate all you want and blast ATP for having Portishead close the show 2 nights in a row...stay home and imagine what a good choice you made by not attending.

The ATP lineup is awesome!!! Here's the difference between ATP and all other festivals. Other fests have bands you like and then bands you don't care about. ATP has bands you like and some bands you really don't KNOW about. Seriously, not a 'bad' band on the entire lineup.

Other fests tout performers that will have you automatically headed to the bar, while ATP books bands that will be surprise eye-openers/ mind-blowers. Who has listened to Thought Forms or People of the North enough to know that they will blow you away in person??

I am extremely excited for ATP weekend and can't wait for it to begin!!!

Btw, more bands will be added!

What 1:10 said.

But I should add that ATP accepts no corporate sponsorship. Not too many fests going on right now like that which boast this kind of lineup.

todd pea

Fuck the haters. Shit is awesome.

the lineup was good until they added Public Ememy and Company flow. I will never get what these bands have in common with the other headliners on the ATP bill.

2:14....ummm, Ultramagnetic Mcs have been on the bill since ATP was originally announced.

Waaaaait, PE and Company Flow made the linup WORSE??!

ps - you're dumb!

@218pm i think 214pm just hates "real" hip hop music or hip hop in general hahaha

seriously, they should add odd future and das racist. then we'd have some REAL hip hop.

@2:47 Nothin' like a failed troll.

wfdu will b'cast the entire event

I like how they got everyone to purchase tickets on the promise of it being the only way to see the Friday headliner - then paid the same guy again to be the Sunday headliner. Fucking ripoff.

Of course the other half of the tickets aren't selling. And those that bought in the first round feel cheated. What were they thinking.

But I'm going - it's impossible to re-sell these tickets - no one wants them.

why will someone spend so much to see jeff Mangum, plz this guy needs to get over himself if you want to stay indie move to south jersey, don't making ppl pay so much to see u and your guitar, damn i wouldn't pay $249 to see a doctor if i dying

Tickets for his shows in NYC & Jersey City were $35.

The ATP ticket includes his show plus the entire festival

@6:28
haha at it being a ripoff because an additional show was added. how does that affect your situation in any way?

hey, assholes. don't buy tickets at the flea. i want that hotel room.
