:cheers To the both of you! :lol I still cringe when I think of his 2008 set, but I love his new album. I’d even be willing to give him another shot at TBF, something I never thought I’d say.
I suggested in an earlier thread that four days of just Edgar Meyer should solve the problem.
I would go for four days of Edgar. He is kind of a home boy. Got his Masters right here in Bloomington at Indiana University’s School of Music.
Debbie, obviosly those tickets that I saw last week on Ebay for $1300.00, and those you mentioned are the people that we really want to avoid, and no one should buy those tickets, I think if people are trying to cover their costs that’s sort of Ok. So Dustin you can make us happy by makeing sure that people know thjat the best way to sell their tickets for face value, need to list them at face value…Right here! :pirate
We the People of the Forum just assume that everyone knows of the Forum. I am sure all of us would try to sell our unneeded tickets here at face value, but there are many first timers or those who have only been to the TBF a couple of times may not spend their hours and days on the internet. Those people do not even know that this forum exists. I find it kind of hard to be real angry with the innocent. They see the Festival is sold out, so they do what they think is the next best thing. They purchase their tickets on the aftermarket. Just as people do here for Colts, Pacers, Hoosiers and those ugly Boilermakers. It is the people who purchase tickets with the primary goal to resell them at a profit who I reserve my anger for, not the innocently naive buyers.
@ CHAMPAGNE
A. - Welcome to the Festi-Family!
B. - just a little curious. What did you actually pay for your Town Park ticket?
:wave
Auntie Hope :festivarian2 :green
It is unfortunate, but somebody is buying up all of the tickets. Our camp (chaos), ten of us put in for the TP lottery and nobody got a ticket, that’s twenty credit cards. In the past that many entries would of all but guaranteed our usual spot in the preserve, but instead of going through the genuflecting of scraping together ten tickets we all decided to do other things this summer (although I don’t have any plans as of yet). This would have been my nineteenth TBF and it concerns me that if this keeps up, eighteen will have been my last. Although one thing I can guarantee is that I will never pay more than face value for a ticket.
I am going to miss my usual overnight shift in the line.

:wave :wave :wave
I will make sure that it’s included on the information sheet with the tickets next year. :thumbsup
i didn’t know about the forum. i admit…i started out looking for tickets at stubhub and such once i found out that the festival was sold out and i didnt get any tix thru the lottery. prices were outrages! after reading more on tbf website …i found the forum. i was able to find the tix i needed at face and had a blast doing so. don’t know what i would have done if i didn’t find the forum?? Learning how to read finally paid off! i think making the forum more well known to newbies would help the situation for sure.
For Bevin… I didn’t do it. :evil
They must have gone to Nightgrass…
“There are three or four stages. You can’t see them all.” :lol

You could just announce that there will be no music next year… You know some of us would still come…LOL
:clap :clap :clap
Most of my disappointment with that show was the fact that I was SO looking forward to BRYAN Adams.
So people actually dont go to TBF just because they dont have a TP pass??? Interesting
I was wondering the same… :rolleyes …crazy talk, imho. :huh
I think that’s what’s most disappointing to me. I could have liked a RA set. I should have liked a RA set. I wanted to like the RA set.
Instead, a low standard was set for me. I pray nobody beats it…I’d hate the bleeding ears that would have to come with it!
OK ~ OK ~ let’s leave Dustin’s/PBR’s nightmare in the past and concentrate on this year’s FESTIVVVAAALLL!!! :cheers

He’s definitely been known to shuffle the deck re: his “sound” over the years.
