I haven't been to the festival in a few years, but I had 6 in a row before my break. I think I only got tickets through the Planet twice, maybe three times in those 6 trips. Watch this board in the ticket exchange section and watch the Planet's returned ticket section. It doesn't take a ton of persistence to score tickets. If you really want them, you'll get them.
Exactly. I've been to the last seven. The past four years, I've been in Town Park even though I've never won the lottery. Tickets will become available. They always do. There's absolutely NO reason to ever buy from a scalper.
As someone who had to unload a 4 day pass last year (not TP or Warner, though), hang in there all. My daughter could not come with me last year, so I had a 4 day pass to sell, for which I was grateful someone could use it (along with the HS camping, sad to see this most likely is not an option in 2015), and bought it at face value. The closer to the event, the more anxious both buyers and sellers become. As has been said, if your spirit is true, you will get a ticket. I am excited that I've convinced 2-3 other family connections to the festival next June, where they have listened on the streaming broadcast last year. (Although for 1, that meant finding a non-camping venue. Not my style, but I will trade camping to have my wife come to her first Telluride.)
