Also, I will join the crowd that is reserving full blown pissed for after we learn more about the shows and their pricing for the separate tickets and weekend passes. Weekend passes were $184.50 last year plus fees. With this new structure, it better be significantly less than that. In general, I am just upset 1) because the way things were set up last year was awesome and 2) I feel like I will have to go to any extra shows I get tickets for even if something else interesting comes up and 3) I worry that I will inevitably get shut out of something I really want to see late night and there will be people who have tickets but don't go, so there will be an empty spot where I should be.
How far apart are these venues? iOS it possible to see a LN at Orange Peel and make it to something at a different venue afterwards?
Taking out the Animoog leaves three (?) venues from last year apart from the Civic Center: The Orange Peel, Asheville Music Hall and that other theatre I can't remember the name of. All three are close enough to where you could go between them pretty quickly.
My first reaction was "WTFFFF" but after reading the last page or so, I will be like some others, I will withhold judgement until we see who is playing and how much. <bites lip>
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.
I think my issue with the seperatly ticketed show is if you pay for it and they announce a "secret once in a life-time show at the Moog-a-plex" while you already have tickets to something else. That's my big fear. I'm sure it will all work out fine. I'm gonna hold off till Monday to complain.

I doubt they are going to do this. They did say that nothing ticketed will go on at the same time as shows at the "core" festival experience, so I would assume they wouldn't pull any secret stuff either. Now, secret stuff at the same time as shows at the "core" experience is another matter.

What I hate about the whole buying tickets to shows is it limits making game time decisions like at Roo. For instance Alabama Shakes was very crowded so I left and went to something else. If it were Moog, I'd be locked into that show or out my ticket price.
I didn't like the outdoor stage so I'm fine with that but the festival being 2 days and these extra shows is killing my Moog excitement.

Hey everyone! Would like to try to offer some clarity and ONE BIG CORRECTION. The correction first: as in previous years, there will be shows at other venues outside of US Cellular Center and those shows will be happening concurrently. Now for some clarity: We will be announcing the full schedule of events so that you can make your ticketing choices from the beginning. That's why we are waiting to have the full schedule together before announcing the acts. The new pricing structure will make attending Moogfest more affordable for many, while also guaranteeing admission for those who have purchased tickets to the shows at the smaller venues. As always, we're committed to creating an amazing festival experience...because we want all of you to come to Asheville and party with us!

So will the other venue events happening during the day/concurrently with the arena be separately ticketed, or included with only the after shows being separate? Still can't figure that one out.

I think it's just late night that is separate??? I'm still confused as well.
I think Lowerdeck is probably right. It will be late night shows on the level of Voodoo or Forecastle. At least I hope so. The idea of having to keep up with 8 different tickets or some crap is already making me anxious. I recheck for my roo wristband at least a dozen times on my drive up.

People should be allowed to express their disappointment, lowerdeck. Doesn't meant they're being overtly negative if they're disappointed by changes to what were already pretty flawless festival logistics. People are allowed to have their feelings.

Admittedly, this is feeling more and more like Big Ears. Just a lot of shows together packaged as a "festival" though all quite separate. Not completely so, but I do feel it may make it more disconnected than past Moogs or going to Roo. Surely many people you want to meet up with will have completely different packages than yourself and so many times people will have to go solo, get third wheeled, etc.
