There's still 47 bands to come you know. And UMC didn't change the booking process even after Andy himself said the system no longer worked (and he's right). I'm sure they have picked the announcement order purposefully. Especially with a good chunk of repeats. I bet they are hoping it discourages s...

Worried that the next one will be Slayer :(

But what other "S" is worthy of building up such anticipation?

Savatage reunion??

The Savatage "reunion" was at Wacken in 2015. It was a great show. TSO was wild and the double-stage shit was insane.

Somebody went out of their way to write a clue that fits SLAYER perfectly, just to fuck with us.
But it won't be SLAYER, it will be... SLIPKNOT!!

That'd be amazing. Not only is it a perfect troll, but the clue fits perfectly. I'd prefer Slipknot to Slayer too, personally.

I know from more than reliable sources four bands that will be onbroad on 2019. I won't give the names for the moment, just the first letter: A... O... N... P... We'll see :) All right, spill. Was Persefone your "P"? I told you in the megathread. It was indeed :) I mean, statistically I could make ...

Finally! Not just a wishlist band, but a bucketlist band! Thanks Andy!

My guess is that band #10 will be the big one "worth waiting for," then the sales announcement will come.

Also an IT Manager/Professional. Rule of life in IT: everyone always hates change, no matter what it is or how much good is involved. This is clearly not just an upgrade, but an entire new engine. I have no idea how far behind our old forum was, but my guess would be years. This seems vastly superio...

I know that a lot of people think that the cruise will take place, but my question is: am I the only one who have doubts? There are far too many weird things, as the 2 last recap videos not done, the survivors ask videos not posted, the mega thread not created and I don't know what more That make t...

Looks like SLAYER wanted one more day to dominate the news with their press release this morning, so the winner will be Ti7aNiC tomorrow. https://78.media.tumblr.com/cfcccf6b0f303f8f603087d878b0ae37/tumblr_n4wfx6THYK1rqb7v2o1_r1_500.gif I also think there will be a second heavy-hitter, as I don’t t...

70K will NEVER happen on the Majesty again. It's part of the past. Period. Agreed. As much as I liked the Majesty, Andy has clearly indicated something bigger and better was on the horizon. I'm still uncertain that an Oasis-class ship is a possibility for 70K due to its open-deck design, though. As...

I got my money waiting in my savings account, just for the boat Same here. In the past I didn't save up, as I charge the full booking to my Gold AMEX anyway, which I then just pay off myself in the following whatever amount of time - but since things are delayed this year I have the money I need ju...

So this is something from the 70k Facebook page: https://screenshotscdn.firefoxusercontent.com/images/ec968d16-f2ca-47b1-a056-13b1df29ed0c.png So at least for now there will not be any change to the Gold/Silver booking system. Or at least, not as far as their social media people have been told abou...

I live in YYC, and you can really only get more expensive than YYC in North America if you were flying out of Victoria, and I can usually get to Florida for 800 Canadian MAX. Is WestJet better than we think it is? (You could tell me, I wouldn't believe you.) Red-eyes are the ONLY way to get to FLL/...

And if you were on the fence due to the potential band listing, just pay the extra $50 and book a refundable ticket. In the world I live in, here are my actual options, according to Travelocity: - Economy: refundable $3200, non-refundable $1000 - First class: refundable $4500, non-refundable $2400 ...

Chalk me up for Aug 28th. Also because the Slayer stuff.

It would be interesting to keep track of everyone saying 'fuck this, i'm out' and see how many of them are actually out in the end. Quite sure the number would tend to zero :) Pretty much my thoughts, too. I don't care about Andy being a flake with communication. The festival itself, which he manag...

Guys... you are over-thinking the booking process and potential for change pretty damn hard. Why would UMC want to invest in a database that keeps expanding with various tiers of loyalty for early bookings, discounts, etc.? Do you understand the logistical nightmare your concocting with those bookin...

I wouldn't be surprised if they opened sales to everyone at the same time, but gave gold and silver survivors a discount code. And even if it might piss off some veterans, it'd make sure there's always fresh blood on the boat and, better yet, a chance of an affordable cabin for the newbies as well....

If I’m right and JUDAS PRIEST is announced as the first band, the reaction will be so wild that Facebook’s AI will interpret it as a Russian attack, and shut down the whole event. I would kill for that. I've seen Judas Priest a few times, including at Wacken, but they are my favorite of the metal g...

Well, how often does Vanhala miss the boat? If Insomnium & Omnium are out for next year... let's just be clear that it's obviously Niilo on vocals in Belzebubs - maybe Vanhala is on guitar and they'll still make their way on-board, lol.

I want to get my tax refund in order to pay for my cabin. If I can submit my tax this weekend, I should get my refund another week or two after that. So if bookings can be held off until towards the end of July I would be completely fine with that Any reason you seem to be ignoring the existence of...

Caught Rivers of Nihil last night and see that I missed them on my 70K wishlist - so adding them!

They very much deserve a spot on the boat - especially with their recent Where Owls Know My Name album. One of the best releases of the year, if you ask me.

The late announcements are contributing to my eyeing up other festivals and taking a break after 8 years. I'd go on 70k again if the lineup is rolled out and mostly good, but vacation time at my new job is harder to get... It'd break my heart not to see you on-board, but honestly, with the repeatin...

Adding Fractal Gates to the list. They released an absolutely fantastic album this year and I'd be awesome to have them onbroad. Check them out, especially you Melodic Death fans. Totally worth it! I never really paid attention to them before, but this album... WOW. I'm 2/3rds of the way through Th...

I'll play that game, but I'd probably book even if Skip had 60 Disturbed cover bands so whatever. Of the bands in that list, the bucketlist ones for me are: Mostly Batushka, Mgla, Persefone, Be'lakor & Devin Townsend, but also Dimmu Borgir, Blind Guardian, Wintersun, Borknagar, Helloween, Empero...

Insomnium is my favorite band on the boat, but I've been waiting years to have a chance to see Wolfheart, so they are up there, too.

Close behind are: SepticFlesh & Naglfar.

So, what are your current speculations on how 70K is going to move forward, now that things sell out after just 1 day of being open to the public? What's going to happen when 90%+ of bookings are survivors? Do Andy & company care as long as they make money? Will ticket prices just increase more ...

Eh. I don't know about you guys, but I'd MUCH rather see them play a full 90 minute set at a show in my town than a 45, maybe 60 minute set on the boat where the acoustics aren't guaranteed to be as good. And for those not in the US or Canada, hopefully they'll tour your area soon. Or, y'know, mayb...

I'm really hoping for Behemoth!

The folder that 70k uses to host it's images is currently publicly available. As an IT professional, that's one of the first things I checked, lol. To be fair, this is the first time they uploaded the image long before making the announcement. But as someone else indeed said, the website is a good ...

Congrats Meshuggah!

Kids pay full price. Awe, I really wish 70K/RC had a lower rate for children. some parents get uptight about that stuff. hahaha, this is definitely not us; I'm not at all worried about that kind of stuff. Every year they have a blast rocking out with everyone. My youngest crowdsurfed in a hot tub d...

I go with my family, and yes it's expensive (and worth it), especially when we're paying full-price for our kids too. You, sir, are exactly who I want to talk to. I have a 6-month old son. He will not be coming with me to 70K 2018, but I want to bring him along eventually. My gf is not a huge metal...

I don't think 70K is as expensive as people think it is. If you know someone on the boat already, and can get into a 4-person interior cabin, that's the best/cheapest. You never spend any time in your room anyway, other than to sleep/shower, so don't waste your money on the fancier rooms. I believe ...

Beyond Creation told me they were in talks to be on board this year.
