There’s something happinin’ here, What it is ain’t exactly clear…

Jason, you and your lady have reservations for lodging. You will, no matter what, be allowed past the Town barrier during fest. Having said that…
Let me be the voice of reason here for just a minute or two.
I have just read about merchant passes selling out in one and a half hours last Friday. That in itself is epic… no… EPIC!
Should ANYONE decide that they are going to be in Telluride during the fest and try and pick up tickets, that person and everyone in their party should prepare for the fact that tickets might not be available AT ALL.
For those that DO NOT HAVE Festi-Passes, Camping Passes, lodging, or work in Mountain Village or the Town of Telluride, you and your group are taking a big chance on the thought that you might be able to purchase tickets once you get to town.
Tickets are not really shaking loose this year, as they have done in the past. Any and all forms of ticket sales have SOLD OUT at record paces this year.
Looking at this from another aspect… there is limited space/parking/room in general between the Town of Telluride and Mountain Village. This is NOT a major fest in terms of size and attendance allowed. This is not a "Roo or Waka type event.
If you are headed up the mountain on a wing and a prayer, you just might want to think twice about it this year.
At the risk of repeating myself…
