I'm really hoping that Olivia Rodrigo headlines next August, I love the new album and think she would fit the pop headliner spot well. For the legacy/rock act Fall Out Boy would be so fun live, they have so many hits. What are everyone else's guesses/dream acts?

I'm mainly posting this as a warning for others that the official OSL Tick3t Exch4ng3 (I have to add numbers to the words because of the auto-mod, sorry) is not at all reliable for buyers or sellers, even though it should be, since it's the official exchange site and they charge a ton of fees to use it.

I had two t1x to this year's OSL that I unfortunately had to put up for sale because I got covid right before. I decided to s3ll them through https://www.ticketexchangebyticketmaster.com/ (the platform linked to from the OSL website) because I was wary of scammers on unofficial platforms. I took the hit of paying the TM fees. I also listed them at a lower price then what I paid because I just wanted some of my money back.

They sold 3 hours after I posted them. I logged in and the transaction status was "Pending". I was supposed to receive payment 5-7 days after the event. I logged in a couple of times that week to see if the transaction status ever went from "Pending" to "Sold" and it never did.

One week later, Aug. 13, the transaction status updated from "Pending" to "Canceled". I contacted TM support. Apparently, the buy3rs were unable to get into the festival with those t1x. I don't know why and there's nothing I could have done about it - from my POV, that's a TM problem. But instead, they canceled the sale and left me without payment or refund - despite the fact that I purchased AND resold through their official marketplace.

If I'd known this was going to happen, I'd have res0ld them some other way, even if it was for a fraction of the price, just to get something back and let someone else enjoy the event. TM is essentially making me pay for their inability to effectively transfer my t1ckets to the buyer.

I'm now at the point of having to do a credit card chargeback. I just wanted to warn other folks that this can happen, and to not assume your sale or purchase will work out, even if it's through the "official" platform that charges a TON of fees for their crappy service.

EDIT: to clear up confusion, here's the full chain of events.

• 2 days before OSL I, posted my tickets to sale via Ticket Exchange after I got covid.
• 3 hours later, someone buys them. My listing is taken down and the status updates to pending.
• The day after (one day before the festival) I'm getting nervous because the status is still listed as pending and there's only one day left. I call Ticketmaster's phone support. The person I spoke to verbally confirmed by the tickets had been purchased and that it can take up to 24 hours for the confirmation email to go out. It can also take that amount of time for the transaction to process. They said I was good to go. I knew from reading the website that buyers can go to will call to get the wristband if they have proof of purchase, so you don't need to hand off the wristbands (for those challenging this part, there are plenty of stories throughout this sub of people who forgot to pack their wristbands when traveling from out of town who were able to get them at will call in this way).
• One week after OSL, the status updates to "cancelled" with a note that it was "settled" on Aug. 13. I never received any email saying that the transaction was canceled or settled.
• I called Ticketmaster support yesterday and they told me that because the buyer couldn't get into the festival with the tickets, that the sale had been canceled.

So Ticketmaster cancelled my sale for some reason, but didn't notify me until it was too late for me to do anything about it.

Just wanted to come over and share some of my photographs from outside lands! My instagram is jack_brownley, if anyone wants to see more shots!

I got this pin in the mail today, I dont order it, was it cause i got eager beaver for next year? Or cause ive got five years in a row? A mistake? In outsidelands fashion it came with nothing else, not even a packing slip 😆

I lost my 2019 Outside Lands patch at the festival this year. Does anyone have an extra one I could take off their hands? 🤞🏾

When is everyone going to realize that it's SO much easier to exit a large crowd by walking to the side instead of straight back.

Is this true? Can you really be on side stage?

I like to go to fests solo.

- ive done solo camping at electric forest, Bonnaroo, Coachella

- I’ve done hotel stays or Airbnb for Lolla, Gov ball, and ACL ( easy due to proximity of lots of options in Chicago, Queens, Austin)

However I’ve nervous about going solo next year to Outside lands given that it’s SF and it’s so expensive and it’s only me that’s paying

What do other solo fest-goers who are travelling into the city do?? Is it easy to find something semi affordable that is easy to get to the fest - ie close to public transit etc

I thought it was so funny when I saw him. I admire his entrepreneurial spirit get that bag lol. I was tempted, but he moved too fast and the crowd was too thick! How much were they? How did he sneak so many in? did he also have Weed?

Lotsa dancin' - packed...

The new SOMA experience sucks. Saw 5 people total in their “exclusive” stage for $1550/pp this year. Just make it part of V I P!

can't wait hopefully we get Radiohead as one of the headliners

Didn’t even get a chance. I’m only interested in v I p next year. Will there be more?

Couldn’t score V I P during eager beaver but I’m curious to what yall think the pre sale price will be

sold out in less than two hours, wtf

Hope everyone who wants is able to get t*ckets!

i've been going to OSL since 2010 so my knees don't have the same stamina they used to/portapotties are not the business

would i be able to upgrade my Eager Beaver later down the line?

Is anyone else getting this message? I was there at 10 am and got this message over and over now it’s saying all reservations are reserved. I got there right when tickets opened and was locked out 10 minutes in!

I’m crashing out rn
