Yup, I'll be getting my tickets Thursday as well.

I'm just not sure whether I should go the first or second weekend. The first weekend is nice because you get to be surprised by the guest artists however the second weekend is good because you know about them and are able to plan accordingly.

What's everyone here doing?

What exactly is the point of buying today? You don't appear to save any money and certainly isn't selling out today.

I got mine.

The biggest bonus is the layaway plan. Only paid 176 bucks today for two passes and car camping and then it's like 80 bucks a month.

Just easier then dropping $800 all at once on concert tickets.

Also, last year after the line-up announcement when tickets went on sale in January, they sold out in minutes. Now I don't have to worry about anything going wrong and missing out.

Certainly didn't need to be logging on at 10am and waiting though! But hey, why not get excited early?

That's only the allotment of pre-sale tickets, the general supply hasn't come to market yet.

Why wouldn't they sell all of them right now if they could?

Weekend 2 is gone. Holy smokes.

Why would they hold tickets back? The only reason that I could think of is if they raised the price in January when they announce the lineup.

I don't know the reasoning, but it's pretty much the way every big festival distributes tickets.

Didn't get tickets. With two weekends though, tickets tend to become pretty liquid. A month before each concert, they were going for cost for both concerts. I'd rather pay $400 a month before the concert than $350 a year before the concert.

Again, this is not all of the tickets. The general on sale is in January.

Why? It's no different than it was last year. It may go a bit quicker, but it's not going to be a "disaster"
