Wait, is it confirmed MPP has been increased to 60K capacity? Wikipedia says: "The current capacity is 19,316." and i'm not finding any info online about that.

That capacity is for the pavilion only, I'm assuming. The 2nd main stage is in a pretty big grassy area, which could hold a fairly large amount of people.

Oh wow. From the Baltimore Sun:

"There's a limit of two tickets per person, and you'll have to bring your ID to the festival. While the website mentions a "service fee" being waived if you make a donation, FreeFest spokeswoman Audrey Fix Schaefer says there's no service fee for any of the options."

www.baltimoresun.com/entertainment/music/midnight-sun-blog/bal-virgin-mobile-freefest-tickets-go-public-at-noon-today,0,5976046.story

Good thing I didn't try for any this year.

I'm looking for that capacity, now.

I wasn't aware, sorry. Hopefully the visual can help out some first timers.

If they really do enforce that you have to show your ID, I can see a lot of people being shut out if they had to buy through scalpers or whatever

I didn't manage to get tickets either no thanks to starting a work gig right at noon today and trying presale yesterday with no luck. So many of us that need some. Me, zacd, and friends. Hopefully we can make it out there.

I actually got 2 tickets! First time ever. Sorry for all who didn't, I know how sucky that feels. Keep hope alive though, awesome Inforoosters have miracled tickets to dancat and me the last two years. And Jack White!

Yea after buying tickets for the few shows I'll be doing the next few months I may be skipping this one as well. Just too hard to make work.

YIPPEEEEE!! Yup. Officially booked! Flying into BWI at 7:40 AM on Friday at which time I'll either train into DC or wait around for a bit for Karosko to pick me up. My vote is to let Karosko sleep past 3-4 AM, though!

I'm sticking around until the wee hours of Monday morning, so I'm down to frolic on Sunday as well! NOW WHO IS WITH ME?!?!?

If you want to be closer for Jack White you will probably have to skip M83 would be my guess.
