Oh yea, I was just kind of thinking out loud. I'd think it would be a better crowd if you were just going without even seeing the lineup. But, it puts a lot more pressure on them to put out lineups that measure up year to year.

See threw my research I've read a lot about people are waiting til the line up comes out to get their tic. I've also read that people have never seen the pre sale go that quick. So thats where I get confused. it almost seems like everything contradicts itself. I've never delt with getting roo tics before so I'm not sure how it usually works out. From what I've read I think I agree that selling out that quick like never before would probably extremely pump people up, and also make the people that were gonna wait for the line up 2nd guess themselves about waiting. Therefore making a bigger rush when they do go back on sale. But after this year I'm sure they'll bring more to the table for pre sale. As long as this hyped up 10th doesnt disappoint. Which I have no worries about....has bonnaroo ever completely sold out??
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.
This was EXACTLY what was going through my head when i made my post.
Glastonbury uses a deposit system. Basicly, you put a deposit ($50) in october, then pay for the rest of your ticket the year of (presumably after the lineup is released), they sell all of their deposits out in 2 days usually (i think)
The last announced sellout was in 06 I think. 04 was probably the last true sellout.
Yea, after they had over 90,000 turn out for 2004, I think they decided to cap ticket sales at around 80,000. If I remember correctly 2006 and 2007 were "sold out."
Last year wasn't very far behind with over 75000 people there. I could definitely tell a difference from 2009, where, iirc, there were a little over 70,000.

I do not remember 2006 being that crowded, 2008 was the least crowded by far, it was really pleasant. This year was a madhouse it seemed like but it may just be me getting older.

This is the first year they have done the deposit system and they sold out in under 4 hours. My friend tried to get a ticket but couldn't get through to the website for the entire time tickets were on sale. What makes it even crazier is they sell over 100,000 tickets.

I'm not really sure, I wasn't there. That was just based on some reports I found online, and I suppose their accuracy is debatable.
I agree, last year seemed like a madhouse. It was a battle getting anywhere, especially trying to get a good spot for certain shows. I think it spoke to the strong drawing power of certain artists on the schedule, whereas in previous years, maybe, the conflicts created by the scheduling did a good job of spreading the crowds out. This past year, however, it seemed like some shows were severely overcrowded, while others I was surprised at how, relatively, thin the crowd was.

I think it is smart for them to not sell more presale tickets. Now when advertising the regular sale they can use the fast sell out as a motivator to get people to buy tickets earlier rather then later.
This is the first time I haven't made it in time for presale and it makes me a sad panda but myself and my gaggle of friends will be there regardless. ^ I agree that this is gonna be great for sales later but im hella bummed i have to pay the extra 30 bucks or so
Anybody know if we can expect something to go under the tree this year? We're getting close and I haven't seen anything. Sorry if this has already been discussed, Christmas as a Mom with a job is eating my brain alive ???

I feel like they would have announced if they are going to have a Christmas sale, but I could be wrong.
If you are talking about receiving your presale ticket in time to put it under the tree, then no. All the tickets will be sent out at the same time, in late May.

Or get a cool picture of the arch or What Stage and put it in a box and wrap it, I think that'd be pretty cool. There are millions to choose from online and you could take it to CVS or Walmart or somewhere and they could print you a picture out.
Yeah, I know last year they sent out cards to go under the tree. In fact it became a small obsession by some on the board to see if the cards formed any kind of clue.

It would be cool to hook them up with a Bonarroo item that is useful, maybe a few small ones and use them like clues. I recommend a Portugal. The Man album, a new pair of shades, a tarp, zip ties and a fat cooler. Throw a picture from the farm and some corn in the cooler and call yourself Santa.
