Wow! Assuming it really was the same number that took over a month to sell last year, SP/ACE must be wondering what the hell is going on with us Bonnaroovians. I can just picture them using last year's data to calculate what they assume is the ideal number for presale...and then watching them sell out in two hours. Although it's certainly a good thing from their standpoint.
Anyway, yay for all you people who got your tix! Exciting.

What did he do wrong? He was just trying to calm people that were worried down, right? I'm legitimately asking.
I don't really understand either. Maybe he was referring to another thread? I don't know. Weird.
Either way, I love the new background picture on the home page! I'm getting the roo fever early this year and having presale tickets plus looking at a crazy image like that every day is making it worse.
But in my opinion he is referring to the n00b that called me a "middle aged republican conservative" and then "naive idiot", "douche bag" and "ass hole"
And for the record, I called myself an asshole first.

Ok no bunny I really wasn't talking about u, well kinda, but no pun intended really, there's just been a couple instances were, one I replied to another thread, no words were used I shouldn't have, no negative anything and my post was deleated and I was locked from replying and two. yes the bunny situation but I mean that was really no big deal. So what I ment with that post was iv just had some negative things happen on a few post, and I really didn't expect that from a site like this, u know like I thought this was basically a positive upbeat site. I'm sorry to anyone that took that post wrong, i do apologize

Haha, well il be damned, I know see why u thought that though, nope just a wierd coincidence, though that's what I was talking about, there shouldn't be negative stuff going on like that on a bonnaroo board...and sorry to everyone for switching up the topic
Now this may just be the rant of a disappointed Roo goer but...
Why not release more tickets for the presale at a higher price? If this many people are willing to buy tickets now then why wait? They would have more money now to play around with. And let's just say hypothetically that the lineup comes out and it's disappointing... wouldn't you want to sell as many tickets now as you can. I'm getting my ticket no matter what but I was hoping to get one for a Christmas present for someone as well. This just seems like the logical way to handle all this but then again, what do I know about running a festival?

I partly agree with this, but not the other part. AC/Superfly doesn't need money to play around with. The money they are spending on the lineup was made years ago, and through other endeavors besides Bonnaroo. Part of the reason to limit tickets is to hope they sell out so you can build the hype. I do agree that I would probably offer more tickets, in the event that the lineup was disappointing to the general public, but really, what is the likelihood of that happening.

You think this is bad, you should see the Lolla boards. What a bunch of elitist a**holes.

No, your logic is sound. They have virtually nothing to lose by continuing to sell tickets at full price. The only thing that they lose is being able to say that they sold out of presale tickets. I'm wondering if there isn't an outside chance that they release more tickets for presale in a week or two once they've ridden this wave for a bit. Then they can announce that they sold out two batches of presale tix.
By comparison, doesn't Glastonbury sell all of its tickets presale by lottery? You've gotta imagine that SF/ACE would kill to be in that position every year.

It looks like they might be getting to that point.
They're doing fans a favor by waiting to sell most of the tickets after the lineup has been released. I don't know how the crowd would be different if they sold them all beforehand.

Well, that's a good point. Then again, would you rather have a crowd that was enthused about going to Bonnaroo and an active part of the community or a crowd that is only going if there are artists that they like playing?
I guess I'd like to see more of a 50/50 mix. Better yet, treat it like season tickets where you've got until 12/31 to purchase your tickets or they go into the general pool. That takes care of their presale and the base.
