Newport Folk Festival 2024 - 7/26-7/28

Lol

Pandemonium over here: immediately shut out and offered waitlist for 3-2 days and a Sunday. Was just fulfilled 5 minutes ago.

Talk about a rollercoaster of emotions.

App and Apple Pay for the win.Four 3 day tickets secured and I can’t believe it

Why do I feel like I've been blacklisted?

Anyways, guess I’ll float this possibility now that it’s “sold out”

Big Dave Matthews Band fan. Every year since 2015 they usually play in West Palm Beach at the end of July. Their schedule is very similar year in and year out.

This year they are wide open at the end of July. Playing in Camden on 7/20. With that being said, Dave and Tim usually play a show in Canendaugua NY in July. Would love to see a Dave and Tim appearance this year!

anyway my pie in the sky hope is a Bob Weir & Wolf Bros set with Margo Price and Sturgill Simpson

Somehow got lucky and snagged tickets on the app. The rest of my crew is waitlisting it.

So we have been going to NFF since 2010. We have a core group of 12 or so and have met so many regulars at the fort. Many of our crew wear the lobster gear at the fort. The extended group (around 30 people) have a text thread.
EVERYONE got shut out. All 30 of us
The buy tickets option didnt even appear for most of us.

Sad day.
Feels like the dice system has been botted
I guess we are Newport Jazz people now

It was a good run Newport

Here is the issue with the waitlist.
Traveling to Newport, RI and securing accommodation's is expensive.
AND you need to do it ASAP for NFF
Deposits, bike rentals, plane tickets….
And we didnt mind paying it because we loved the trip. But none of that is happening on the waitlist, which doesnt really open up until the week of the festival.

I get they want to limit after market tickets, but the fact dice gives you no real idea on whether or not you have a chance on the waitlist makes it impossible to book anything

its not that complicated - book yourself a weekend, try for tickets, and even if you don't land them you get a nice little beach time

also who the hell is flying for this festival

My husband/then-boyfriend and I have been flying in from Virginia since 2015. After seeing Roger Waters in the rain, James Taylor surprise, and Jose Gonzalez in the tunnels, we were forever hooked. The only year we’ve missed was 2021 for the birth of our daughter. Lucky for us, flights on Southwest are cheap and have free cancellation. Hopefully we get some waitlist magic again this year!

I think the person who got me to start going is a very outer circle extension of your lobster group! I have to admit I don’t know anyone’s names but have spent some time at y’all’s blanket dancing with folks on the left side of the quad in years past.

assumed they weren't a possibility, but boygenius confirmed at a show in LA last night that they're done for the foreseeable future

boygenius is taking a hiatus because of Dice
