Is this the fastest that the first 2 tiers of tickets have sold out? It seemed like third tier tickets didn't go on sale until like April or May last year. Perhaps I am mistaken and that's why I post here

I think there were 3 tiers last year.. and you are right, it didn't get the number 3 until late April because that's right before my friend bought her ticket. And in 05 it went to tier 3 in like late May

I'm pretty sure there were three tiers last year, 'cause I missed the first tier ($168 or so I think) and grabbed the second ($185), and I was glad I didn't have to pay >$200 per ticket for the third ($205, if memory serves). And it doesn't make a lot of sense that they had three tiers the year before and two last year, and then three again this year. I'd think they'd keep it at three every year, changing each year doesn't make much sense.
Anyway, as to the topic, this year is different I think because the Police are on their reunion tour, and they were one of the biggest bands of the '80s; I don't think there's been anything similar in past Bonnaroos.

Yeah, first tier seems to go within the first hour most years. I'm not sure how many tiers there were last year -- wasn't that the year with the Krewe presale or was that two years ago? My brain's kinda fuzzy this week, huh?

they didn't reduce it last year.. they made it bigger. by reducing tickets, they made more of a buzz.. I'd say there was no less that 100k there last year.. I heard the arial estimate was 120k.
as for the tiers, I remember it being 3 tiers because I missed the first (sold out in minutes) and got the 2nd. Then my friend who bought hers in May payed more than me.. so that all doesn't make sence. like someone else said, why would they do 3 tiers every year except last year?
Juggernaut's right. They were selling 80K last year. Somewhere on last year's site there was a statement from Superfly that they had reduced ticket sales to 'make the experience better for attendees.' (To which everyone else said -- "yeah, right, you just failed to sell out at 90K and didn't want any more articles about how the festival doesn't sell out and must be losing its buzz....")
