Email last week?

Last email I have from Planet Bluegrass is late October. That’s weird…..

I understand the confusion and I think it stems from the fact that what you're seeing now is different from what you'll see the day of the sale.

Between about 9 and 10am Mountain on Thursday, go to shop.bluegrass.com which will redirect you to the Planet Bluegrass SeeTickets page.  By that time that page will have TBF listed and from that page is where you will enter the queue.  It'll make way more sense as we get closer to live.  Clear as mud!?

Sorry, I also feel like a dummy . . . do I enter the queue after I log into shop/See, through my own log-in? Or is there a specific avenue for that?

Sam and leftover salmon went off last night at Boulder Theater. Congrats to LOS for going into CO Music HOF.

Ya, shop.bluegrass.com is intended to redirect to SeeTickets.  The sale format is not a lottery but an online queue.  You'll want to enter the queue before 10am on Thursday and as the sale starts everyone will be assigned a random number.  From there waves of numbers will be allowed to purchase tickets.  It's honestly not that complex, you just need to have some luck on your side.  If you have any other questions about this process, drop them here!

But the email last week said go to shop.bluegrass.com.  That did open up to See but really I hope they send something out with more clarity. Is there a lottery? We haven't actually purchased this way since 2019, joined a pod in 2021 and rolled our 2019 this year. So really feel a bit lost . . .

Thank you! ❤️

Hey Lesley,

It's still being held through SeeTickets.  The site will update shortly before the sale to show the onsale options.

Hi, I just updated my SeeTickets account in preparation for sale ( 4am on Friday for us). I can’t see the Festival on their site. Do I have it wrong? Are tickets still being sold through See Tickets?

Sorry if I have this wrong, I do find US ticket sellers a bit confusing.

Thanks everyone

Lesley

Billy played small venue just 4 years ago in NOLA on Frenchman Street at dba.

Had a chance to interview Sam today and he played three songs. Lots of good stories to hear while you prepare to buy tickets for the 50th TBG.

I hope to score tickets for both Austin shows a few days
before Tulsa.

I might have to miss Brandi next year here in Houston. She is
opening for Pink at a large venue. They are playing at the Astros
ballpark.

Enjoy the show Todd. Be careful out on the streets of NOLA.
If you have time, check out Frenchman Street. About 3 blocks
of music clubs just outside of the French Quarters. Also Tipitina's,
Maple Leaf, RocknBowl,' Blue Nile and dba where Billy once played
several years ago.

Be careful on dark streets. We also keep most of our funds/credit cards
in the room and bring the money we plan on spending that night.
I could tell you several stories about friends having a bad night in
NOLA including having their car "jacked."

Terrible time to be in the quarter but you'll have a blast at the show. 

She is an extraordinary performer and I would be thrilled to see her at Telluride again. Billy Strings and Brandi are the two hottest performers going around.
