Scalpers Targeting Electric Music
Hot on the heels of the sold out Coachella and sold out first three tiers of tickets at Burning man, the first within a week and the latter in a matter of hours, comes news that the Sasquatch Festival has sold out in under a week as well. These are all record breaking times, and scalped tickets are already showing up on Ebay for two to three times their face value. Stories are coming in about people buying 1000 tickets at a time for resale.
For those of us who can not afford to pay through the nose for tickets that are already expensive, here’s what you can do-
1. Figure out which Event’s you want to go to and buy your ticket on the day the tickets go on sale. Do not wait, as the likelyhood of scalpers beating you to the punch after a day is pretty high
2. Dont feed the trolls- look for tickets on messageboards and through craigslist if you can’t get ahold of tickets on the day of sale. The truth is that middle men are holding a bunch of tickets to events that they’ll never use. Dont let yourself feel desperate about missing a show- most large festivals sport the same line up.
3.If you’re really desperate to hear your acts play, then consider saving that extra money and buying a plane ticket to a festival in another city or a road trip to hear what is generally the same line up, just in a different state.
4. Ask around with friends- a lot of times people will end up with an extra ticket that they will be willing to sell or give to a friend in need.
5. Above all, keep your cool! there are tickets a plenty, its just up to you to not get exploited.
6. Keep an eye on the face value of tickets, especially for event’s like burning man. Its a major no no within the burner community to sell tickets above their tier price. If someone is trying to exploit, try to get a picture or write down the number of the ticket and report it to the Burning Man Organization.

Laidback Luke Speak Up! Tour
To celebrate the release of “Speak Up!,” Laidback Luke is set to embark on his biggest adventure yet – a bus tour across the North America. Commencing March 9 in Las Vegas, Nevada and ending April 22 in Bloomington, Indiana this seven-week tour brings Laidback Luke and his Mixmash cohorts GTA and Oliver Twizt to cities of all sizes; many of which Luke’s never visited before. “I’m so about my Speak Up! Bus Tour. It’s a first for me and so I am looking forward to a completely new experience, performing at places I’ve never been to before now. It’s set to be a big adventure and hope to see you all on board soon!,” Luke says.
Already well known for a multitude of collaborations with various big names including David Guetta, Diplo and A-Trak, Laidback Luke more recently hooked up with Sander van Doorn on the stellar track “Who’s Wearing The Cap”, a mash up of trance, progressive and electro. Luke’s latest collaboration with Arno Cost and Norman Doray “Trilogy” went successful on charts in no time. 2011 also saw Luke enjoying chart success on UK Top 40 hit, Natural Disaster with Example, as well as his work with Steve Aoki and the master of crunk Lil’ Jon on Turbulence that took over Radio 1 airwaves.
In addition to working with fellow stalwarts of the electronic music industry, Luke has also remixed stellar pop acts from Black Eyed Peas, David Guetta, Calvin Harris, Tiësto, MSTRKRFT ft. John Legend, Dizzee Rascal, Avicii, Moby, and most recently, Pitbull Ft. Marc Anthony “Rain Over Me” and Madonna “Give Me All Your Love.” It’s not just producing music that has keeps Luke busy. With his very own Super You&Me tent at Creamfields and a residency at Cream Ibiza last summer where he hosted the Mixmag Terrace on six dates, we can only wonder when he ever has any time to be “Laidback”..!
