What are going to be the hardest tickets to get? I know the shows at the Sheridan Opera House are obviously difficult, but the Palm Theatre doesn’t look like a huge place either. I feel that the Del 75th Bday ticket may be just as difficult as the others. This is my first year attending so I want to make sure I get at least some of my requests and know whats going to be difficult.
Im hoping to get Yonder Wed, LoS Thur, YMSB or GSBG Fri, and Del Saturday. I wish everyone luck including myself!
Thanks for the responses. I’ve picked YMSB, LOS, GLBG or YMSB, and Del. fingers crossed. Good luck all!
Hey moeron221, have you ever seen Floodwood? How do they compare to YMSB, RRE, LOS, GSBG? or moe. for that matter?
If I could get lucky, one show I would really want to get tickets for is Frank Solivan and Dirty Kitchen. These guys are incredible musicians. Mike Munford is an excellent banjo player, and they have a 22 year old guitar player called Chris Luquette who is quite impressive. Check them out, they may be one of the gems of Telluride this year. Plus, Frank is an ex-Navy man, too. Have a listen:

I put in for Salmon on Thursday, Yonder on Friday and Tim and Darrell on Saturday. If I don’t get a few of them, I’ll work on getting CC or Palm tickets later. I doubt they’ll be too hard to find.
Some cool harmonies for sure. Look forward to seeing their main stage set. It will definitely be a cool show in the Moon.
Maybe they can line up the Dirty Kitchen to play FirstGrass. That show has not yet been announced, has it?
Well damn. Tessa & I both entered, and used the same card. So now the rules say all our orders will be invalidated.
Well, it was the first time I’ve tried the nightgrass Lottery, so i wasn’t going to get tix anyway, at least now there’s a reason
Is anyone else still hoping for a surprise showing of Mumford and Sons? I know they don’t have any tour dates lined up for this summer, other than Lolapalooza in Chicago. I know they love Telluride, and didn’t get to come last year, so I’m crossing my fingers for Marcus Mumford comin’ out with Yonder and/or Punch Brothers @ the Sheridan.
A walk-on from M&S would be the event of the year…Here’s hoping!
Planet Bluegrass should do a live 3 day webcast of the nightgrass drawing. It would be like the NFL draft, only more exciting.
What a horribly awesome idea. :evil
I’m already cursed to be sitting here refreshing my email every five minutes for the rest of the day. Anybody know what the reality of “We’ll begin processing entries on Thursday, April 17” really means? 
God, I love this time of year.
I know that curse! I’ve been looking all day [and have checked my creditcard online 3 times] to see if anything hit.
Another curse compounding it: being an ‘east coaster’ I was anxiously looking before the sun rose in Colorado. :lol
(Remember the ol Heinz commercial: “Anticipay-yay-tion its makin me wait”…it keeps runnin thru my head)
I know:
tick…tock…tick…tock
The only time the clock moves slower is when you’re on a treadmill.
and yet I’ll be afraid to open an email from PB knowing that this lottery system keeps getting bigger and bigger with more and more competition.
Every year I tell myself I’m tired of being exhausted at tarp run every day, maybe I’ll skip some nightgrass.
And every year the planet lines up shows that are just unmissable.
Sleep be damned!
Last year, as we were stumbling down Main street after the Pert Near show at FMTTM and lamenting our sleep deprivation, my buddy said, “I ain’t gonna miss a note. I can always sleep when we get back home”. Pretty much sums up Festival! :thumbsup
LOSS … Lottery Order Stress Syndrome …
hope everyone gets what they’re looking for 
Mumford isn’t playing Lollapalooza??
Don’t think Mumford has toured since the brain injury…and don’t think they have plans to anytime soon— Mumford & Sons: 'No Activity for the Foreseeable Future'
I just got a charge for night grass tix! Not sure what I got yet but woooohoooooo :thumbsup!!! 2/2 on the lottery this year!!! :cheers
