Hello everyone! Virgin here as well and planning to make the trip in 2015 with the family, just had a few questions regarding the upcoming camping lottery:
The camping is per person not per site according to the website? So each individual person has to enter the lottery separately? And what happens if not everyone in your group gets a Town Park pass? Does Town Park usually sell out during the lottery?
Sorry about all the questions, it’s just the first time I’ve ever participated in a camping lottery that is per person not per site.
Welcome! I believe kids 12 and under are free in Town Park with a paying adult. AS far as the lottery goes, each person does not need to enter individually. When you enter, you have the option to chose how many tickets you would like, between 1 and 4. So if your number is pulled and you asked for 4 tickets, you’ll get those four tickets.
Town Park will sell out during the lottery, no doubt about it. But there will be extra tickets popping up for sale on this forum. Just remember to never pay, sell or offer more than face value. Period. If you have faith and shun the scalpers like a good festivarian, you’ll usually be able to find the tickets you’re looking for.
A side note to Sugar’s statement:
The chances of getting picked in the lottery seem to be getting harder and harder as years go by, so it’s probably worth while to have more than one person in your group enter in the lottery.
That way if you both get picked you can sell the extra’s you get here on the forum.
Each person can enter for up to four Town Park passes with the stipulation that only two entries per household on different credit cards or checks be used.
Good luck!
:thumbsup
That’s right, boys and girls…but it’s a lot of work trying to get all those tnries in…so you just send those lottery entries to me, at my lawyers office (Duey, Cheetum and Howe) and I’ll be sure they all get entered fair and square…you can trust me. :angel
Best hiking near festival?
Pick a direction and start walking. :cheers
Personally my favorite hike is called the Bottleworks Trail. It goes from the Town Park campground to the Telluride Bottleworks liquor store and back. Also great is the ever-popular Baked in Telluride Trail, which is parallel to the Bottleworks trail if your starting point is also Town Park.
And there is the Elks Park Spur, a tad north of these two, but also a popular hike from TP.
Hello again! So we didn’t get into to either Town Park or Warner Field.
What’s the next best?
And should we go with the next best on the 5th, or wait around to try and get camping tickets that people don’t want?
Thank you all again!
i just found this thread. i gots some reading to do!
BTW this response is f’n funny!!
edit…im on page 45 so far. going backwards cause i can. u kats are a funny bunch.
I am curious to know wether the 24’ length requirement for vehicles includes tongue length? Also what is the practicality of fitting a vehicle of such a length into town park?
My understanding is that the 24’ requirement does include tongue length. As far fitting a vehicle of that size into Town Park, you’re only hope would be to get there early. Really early. At least a week and a half before the festival starts. If you try to roll in with a vehicle that size on Tuesday or Wednesday before the fest, you’ll be out of luck.
Here’s a reply from a previous post.

The tongue and bumper would come into play, but the truck would need to be unhitched from the trailer and taken to festival parking
First time in Town Park. I know the camp grounds open up much earlier than the other sites. When would I have to get in to ensure a decent spot or is it that big of a deal?
Thanks,
Brian
It really depends on what you mean by a decent spot. How much space are you hoping to have? How many are camping with you? If it’s just you and one tent, it shouldn’t be too hard to find a space Tuesday or Wednesday.
4 of us. 2 tents probably
Still not too bad. Tuesday would be better than Wednesday. Ask around and those of us who will have been there for several days will be able to help you find a space to squeeze into.
What’s a beer cost inside the festival?
The last six years they were $6 for the first, refills with the cup, are $4. You can purchase a cool stainless steel one and bring IT back year after year for refills!
Waiting for the final lineup!
:cheers
