historyman just can't believe it

See this is my point.  In recent years, these Yonder Sheridan tix would never be available.

Yeah yeah I know, get over it.  I'm trying, I really am.  I feel like a child of divorced parents.  It's going to take some working out, much more than a year.

I don't know. I've always come up with one or two in advance of leaving Tennessee. I really think you're overestimating the pull of one band.

BUT, this is spoken as someone who has never loved Yonder and has always loved Telluride Bluegrass. They never were my pull one way or another, so it's equally likely that I don't know what I'm talking about.

Fair enough, I definitely could be wrong, but in 25 years of attending this festival, my perception was that when Yonder made it big, and they did so early in their career, this festival was a major draw for their fans and tickets became  much scarcer.  For several years running the Sheridan show was really a difficult ticket to find.  Most years we still found a way, but that was using all the resources and experience of aggregate 100+ years of our group following the Dead, Salmon, Panic, Phish, etc.  I mean, some fairly high level professionals, any way we could possibly get tickets.

2011.  That was the best YMSB Sheridan show, I think.  Other years really good as well, but that's the one I'd recommend.

Can't argue with you there - I was at that one and it was the show that pushed me to consider them on a different level than I had been. Of course, it's also the show that introduced me more formally with the capabilities of the Stringdusters, who I now love (their 2013 Palm show was particularly outrageous.)

I saved the poor fella trying to sell his tickets from your conversation so I could move his post to the NightGrass ticket/ exchange.

Feel free to continue...

Our entire party of at least 12 - with the exception of 1 person, has always used Yonder as our dinner break. They're good. But to us, they are 'bluegrass lite' ...kinda in the same way many consider Widespread Panic 'Grateful Dead Lite'...so to answer your suggestion that Jeff-less YMSB could be the reason the festival is easier to get into, we'd respectfully just say NOPE!
