OK, I'll be the first to reply but I don't think I'll be the last. 

Please don't pay more than face value for a ticket!  If you do, you're only encouraging and supporting the ticket scalpers, who we basically consider to be just a level or two below pond scum.  I know it's frustrating to not have a ticket in your hand right now, but think about it this way...

If no one buys the tickets now, the prices will start to fall as the Festival gets closer.  Scalpers will become desparate to get rid of their tickets.  It's simple supply and demand.

Also realize that there are plenty of scams on Craigslist and we've heard stories of Festivarians getting burned in the past. 

Good luck in finding your ticket.  Keep an eye on this forum - you might find one here.  Just please don't pay more than face!  Thanks.

Don't mess around with craigslist - too many scalpers.  Stick to a face value deal ONLY just like everyone else has suggested.  Use the ticket exchange threads on this forum to find what you are looking for.

http://www.festivarian.com/index.php/board,31.0.html  - Telluride Bluegrass Ticket Exchange

http://www.festivarian.com/index.php/board,33.0.html  - TBG - Nightgrass Ticket Exchange

Post exactly what you are looking for, your terms, check diligently and often. 

Good luck  Wave
