Even if you don’t win a Yonder CC ticket, you will be able to get one at the door. I’ve never been to a Yonder CC show without seeing ten people selling their extras at the door. It seems a lot of people think they’ll be good trade material and buy them for that reason, but they aren’t good trade material. At all. That venue is so large that tickets aren’t hard to come by. If you want to see it, you will be able to. I love the CC show. The best Yonder show I’ve ever seen was the 2009 CC show. Nothing I’ve seen them do has ever compared to that night. They always bring it and the ticket is usually easy to get a hold of. Enjoy!
What is the capacity for the various venues for NightGrass?
SOH 265
FMTTM ? 150 (my guess, but I havent seen new configuration)
Palm 667
TCC ? 1600 (a wild guess only)
I believe the Moon is about 200-250 & the conference center is about 900.
Can you bring cameras in the Yonder CC show ?
How hard to you think it will be to sell extras at face. I’m thinking about having everyone in my group of three put in for 3 so we would only need one win. If we all get lucky we would end up with 6 extra… I’d rather have too many than not enough though.
In the past, it’s normally been fairly easy to purchase OR sell a wed yonder ticket … unloaded mine last year without much problem. While I believe it sold out faster than years past last year, I still think the supply/demand equation allowed for a friendly aftermarket in either direction. It’ll be interesting to see what happens this year, now that it’s being subject to a lottery. One might think that the supply/demand ratio will still be similiar to the past, but if everyone does what you’re contemplating … it might shift the aftermarket dynamic a bit. There might be more extras in the hands of more people who simply want to insure their admittance, in addition to those who (erroneously) believe the cc tix might serve as trade bait for other shows.
All excellent points. I don’t see the tickets being any harder to get a hold of than years past, but the lottery system might turn this particular concert into a buyer’s market. As FOM said, if everyone tries what English Martin is planning for the Conference Center, that ticket could become more difficult to unload. I don’t think the lottery will make it more difficult to find tickets for this show, but I think it is a possibility that some people will end up selling their extra tickets below face just to get rid of them. My recommendation if you do end up with extras is to do your best to sell them on the forum before you get to the festival.
I think you can only put in for two… But I have never had trouble selling extras to anything except the Palm shows.
“As with last year, we’re limiting orders to 2 tix per show at the Sheridan and Moon, and 4 tix per show at the Palm and Conference Center.”

From BluegrassBrian’s earlier thread
Surely some of you on this Board have more nightgrass experience.
Do the nightgrass shows typically start on time?
Nothin starts on time !! :lol :thumbsup
Aoife will be backed by her own (killer) band. So they’ll be playing separate sets, though y’never know what collaborations might emerge.
and sorry to be annoying, but will isbell and lone bellow also have separate sets at that show?
Its great to see Aoife going solo . Her new cd is AWSOME!! and crooked still is still one of my favorite bands . I saw them my first Telluride back in 08 . Her voice is so soothing . IS IT JUNE YET!!
Yes.
Each band will play their own set.
My picks are in. Now we play the waiting game…
The waiting game sucks. Lets play hungry, hungry hippos instead!
My lotto is in… I love the anticipation. :thumbsup
Yeah, I think your recommendation is spot on … things should sort themselves out if people sell their extras sooner rather than later.
Missing the first part of a Nightgrass show in order to
see the end of the main stage seems to be a no-brainer.
Arrived into both Greensky and Peart during first
set and had 2 plus hours of music after arrival.
To each his own but it’s a non-issue IMO.
