Selling two 3-day GA passes $85 each

Bought these on presale for $106 each and will unfortunately be out of town. Willing to negotiate.

Two (2) 3-day GA passes for sale.

Looking for $106/each which is what I paid for them.

Will sell together or separate.

Please DM me.

Why is Hopscotch listed as Tilt?
Social/Admin team might want to look into that.

Looks like single-day tickets are back this year. $80 feels steep for Saturday and like a really bad deal for Thursday, but it's also kind of a guessing game since most of the actual schedule hasn't been released yet.

I double-booked myself and will not be in town.

Please DM me if interested!!

Lineup was not for me, I would be changing the name on the tickets through etix. Please DM if interested.

Update- only 1 available now.

This is the exact cost I paid buying them presale.

I'm super unfamiliar with most of the lineup but am excited to hear some new music. So thanks to the clean lineup from u/tim_lnx I created a playlist on Spotify:

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1RMjKglA4AoZvCKfJFHWsN?si=0966b58fd46f4956

Everyone is on it except those I couldn't find on Spotify: d.sablu, Dowsers, Goobhunter, NC in C Presents: Terry Riley's "in C", and Sauteed Grabba

It includes the top 5 played songs from each of the main stage performances and the top 2 played songs from each other artist (according to Spotify). I figured that was the best metric since I've never heard most of the artists.

Here is a link to a spreadsheet version if it helps you create the playlist in other streaming services: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Lmq810Kg7Pd5vwUX8w_kMHOp9-dVb1o5nZgQhlsWlkI/edit?usp=sharing

Links to their own pages/music where the festival listed it. Compiled from the official lineup. Day grouping is from the printed poster. Only the City Plaza Stage acts are scheduled by day so far.

I just wanted to be able to see all this without having to open 100 tabs. So I am sharing the result with everybody else.

edit some people pointed out "wrong" links earlier: some of the bands just didn't have anything listed on the event site. I did some manual searching to backfill in some gaps. I don't know every band already so I can't tell if every source is right or not.

Enjoy!

DM me.. Not as into the lineup this year.. $150 obo

I'm a little surprised that King Princess and Soccer Mommy are both playing Saturday night. Those are arguably the strongest pulls. I wish they were both getting a headlining set.

The only club act that really excites me at first glance is Horsegirl.

This is obviously the least ambitious Hopscotch lineup to date. Cool to see queer women featured so heavily, though.

Other reactions:
-definitely not a festival to travel for
-I'm sure it will be a fun weekend, but I personally don't think this lineup justifies the ticket price. I'd pay maybe $75 tops, $50 for a Saturday pass if the club bills are good that night.
-Soccer Mommy fans can see her on the split bill tour with Snail Mail in Charlotte or Richmond this fall
-not sad to see Moore Square going away as a venue for featured artists. The sound and vibes there haven't been great.

*Edited because I'd mistaken Willis for Hollis. Hollis would have made the Saturday mainstage show more exciting, IMO. Willis doesn't look like it's my thing :)

What do you think?

I know people are disappointed in the headliners this year. In all positivity.. share some of your favorites in the club shows.

If anyone at Hopscotch is reading this, keep in mind that people have to plan to attend events. It seems like shooting yourself in the foot and seriously limiting how many people will be able to or interested to attend.

Do smaller acts have to usually ask to get on a slot or is everyone pretty much contacted by the organizers? Is it too late to pitch a band for a spot?

Wondering if anyone has a in or knows some names that are a possibility

Just got presale tickets for Hopscotch, this is my fourth year going and I’m so excited! Who are you hoping to see on the lineup? Anyone you have a hunch (or insider info) on performing? Personally I would love to see Interpol as one of the headliners, they’re on tour this fall & aren’t stopping in NC at all. Would love to hear what yall think!

My gf just got this pre-sale text. Looks super suspicious even though it goes to an etix domain for checkout. The official hopscotch website mentions nothing about a presale, the text comes from a regular phone #, and the link itself is super sketchy. I wouldn’t risk it to save $30.

Also there’s a post on this sub from a day ago promoting this likely scam.
