I never got an offer to get off the waitlist over the last 3-4 years (outside of the 1 year i was able to buy). i'm always on the waitlist within 1min of on-sale, but i've also only ever put in for 3-day passes which i imagine have higher demand. a little more transparency would definitely be nice, and agreed that the "number of tickets" thing does not work in an intuitive way at all, if indeed it works how we think it does.

The first two years of the Lyte waitlist, when it showed your place in line, was so, so much easier than whatever is happening with dice.
I’m in for 4 3 day tickets (probably not going to happen) but my wife is in for 2 Friday tickets. You’d think those would be moving by now, thats generally the easiest day to get tickets, and maybe they are. But there’s no way of knowing. And we both put in immediately after trying to get tickets at the on sale time, so within 5 minutes.
Obviously others have said this many times but I’m over here trying to figure out if I should shell out $1600 for an Airbnb for the weekend in hopes that tickets show up. Annoying.
I don’t understand why people can’t wrap their heads around Gil and Dave being a headliner. They have not toured in 6 years. They deserve it without that fact.
Dave's a native of North Smithfield, and last time he played around here was at the Columbus.
Deer Tick - well, we all know they're local and played the Columbus a bunch of times.
The number of tickets thing gets me with Dice. For a festival that’s entirely GA and has significant demand for resale tickets, there’s no need to sort people by the number of tickets requested. If you put in for 3 tickets, you shouldn’t have to wait in a separate set of 3 queue that only moves when people return 3 tickets at a time. You should be in a more general queue and move up every time a ticket is resold and when you’re at the front of the line Dice offers you one at a time when they become available until you’ve been offered 3.
I’m convinced this mechanism is why Dice doesn’t tell you your spot in line (since there are so many lines for different ticket types and different number of tickets) and is also why people who make requests later sometimes get picked earlier.
yeah, its wild. make me wonder if there's a more advantageous number to request - i have to feel like requesting a single is kinda hard, because how many people are just buying one ticket to begin with?
for what its worth ive gotten off the waitlist every year and I always ask for two tickets.
This not scientific lol but my brain says there is more single people that drop out of groups than whole groups dropping. I would guess a single ticket is your fastest route to success.

But probably also a lot more people requesting single tickets.
I’d be interested in seeing what requesting 3 would be like. While there probably aren’t many people returning 3 tickets, there probably are very few people requesting 3 tickets. (Especially now that kids get in free.)

eh, most everyone i know buys tickets in groups to go with friends/partners/etc. i just have a feeling there are fewer people who buy a single ticket to start with, and those that do are probably pretty diehard, so there's fewer singles available.
People in a Reddit thread are talking about getting on the Waitlist in April of this year and already getting tickets and "a few weeks late" last year and getting tickets the week of the festival. Meanwhile I joined the waitlist both years within one minute of sellout for all ticket types and haven't had a single offer either year.
Dice needs to go.
I think they’re trolling. If you look at their post history, they said got tickets 4 months ago.
Now how you haven’t gotten tickets yet at all, I’m not sure. I got on immediately for 2 on Sunday, got them 10 minutes or so later, a couple minutes after for Saturday, nothing, and Friday maybe 5 minutes after, and I got Sunday tickets maybe 4 days later, let them run out because I was really busy, got back onit and haven’t heard since.
Interesting…connections to Dawes through touring and Mandy Moore production, Andrew Bird through touring and Nickel Creek touring/ Watkins Family Hour production, and Cory Wong through Vulfpeck. I suppose he could show up on any of those sets…unless he’s on the Bike Stage?
30 years ago, I worked with a guy who had been Mike Viola's housemate, back when Viola lived in the Boston area. I never met Viola, but the guy I worked with was super nice.
Anyone watching the LOLLA doc on Amazon? It’s cathartic lol and I think folks here might dig it.
Not that Ken Burns himself would likely be passionate enough about the subject matter to do it, but a Burns-intensive documentary series about the history of music festivals, if done well, would be incredible. There have been so many paradigm shifts, from the early and relatively few annual folk and jazz fests to the mid-60's through mid-80's one-offs (and how NFL stadium shows in the 70's and 80's functioned much like music festivals), to the touring festivals of the 90's, and the 00's - present explosion of annual festivals from coast to coast.
A couple of episodes could sketch out the UK/Euro festival scene and how it developed and progressed on a separate track, and how it may have influenced the North American festival scene.

Someone I know had an Airbnb lined up for a festival, but was just informed that the homeowner had cancelled the booking. He speculated that they found someone willing to pay more for the place. He goes regularly to both Solid Sound and Newport, but given the timing here, I'm guessing that it happened for Solid Sound.
For anyone trying to build a mock schedule, check out Muna’s billing at the All Things Go NYC festival. Second on their day behind Renee Rapp but ahead of Chappell Roan. (Hard to believe that with Roan’s current popularity… but I guess if the fest was booked a few months back.)
Looks like Wong is playing Caroga on 7/30 and it’s billed as Acoustic and a Strings Section.
Curious if this will be similar to what we will see.
I know he announced it will be at least partially acoustic, but I hope it’s not entirely acoustic. I hate when the livelier acts strip down to give us the same energy as the singer songwriters. (I know even acoustic it’ll be higher energy, but I’d love at least one electric guitar song where he shreds.)

Victor Wooten and Nate smith weren’t invited to listen to an all acoustic set. There will be some groovin
The How Long Gone guys just said on their podcast they will be doing a set at the festival and then will be doing something at night that will be announced on the 24th. So assume after shows will be announced 24th week.

Not necessarily. It took them 6 days to announce all the aftershows last year.
Could start next week and end early following week.

"after shows will be announced 24th week" has nothing to do with the fact some can start to be announced next week. But some shows will definitely be announced 24th week.

Yeah just saying 6 days puts it right at the 24th. Who are those guys anyways, never heard of.
Donovan F seems too big for an announced set at the Bike or Foundation Stage. It’ll be too hard to get close enough to hear. But I’m still here for it.
In my first pass through of the artists, I have my money on Glitterfox as an act that will eventually find themselves back for a main stage set.
