A NightGrass Announcment about the Announcment...

[BluegrassDustin]

  everybody.

I know you're all chomping at the bit to get some NightGrass info, and I finally have SOMETHING to tell you.

We will be making the announcement next week. Stay tuned for the details about the specific shows and when lotteries and such will be taking place.

I can also tell you that we will no longer be offering the All Venue pass for NightGrass.

Keep in mind that this year's increased demand for tickets will likely carry over into Nightgrass. I'm telling you, the Forumvarians this information but it likely will not be made "public knowledge" till the announcement next week. Anything you do to promote this information only makes the likely hood of people trying for tickets who do not intend to use them increased.

If I were you, I'd keep it our little secret.

[ShatteredArm]

I propose all nightgrass announcements be made via a PM to everybody who has posted in this forum in the last three months prior to this post.

but please don't assume that just because we haven't posted comments over the past 3 months mean we aren't reading and following the forum posts; especially around nightgrass announcements

Thanks for the information!!  I have been obsessively checking for some news.
I cannot wait for this year.  Thank you for all the work you do!

It is not an assumption, just a suggestion that all actively posting forum users be notified by Private Message. Not really a fair advantage though. 

On the other hand, We're very glad it's brought you to the point of posting. Nice to see you here! Good luck with your NightGrass Tickets!

I was really hoping to score an AVP. I guess I'll be doing some of that rapid clicking as well.

[FestiTrey]

Yeah, I REALLY liked my AVP last year too.  Here's to fast fingers and TBT playing at the Sheridan!! 

[thinktoomuch]

It wont be fast fingers as much as luck of the draw.  I'm anticipating at least 3 lotteries this year so hopefully I can score tix to at least one of em.  Either way, the lineup is so stacked this year that there will be no disappointments, even if I can't get all the nightgrass I want.  Good luck to all when the time comes!

[kmacdenver]

I agree with you all, great fest, great company every year, amazing music....we are lucky to live in this great state and have festivals like this - and if we are even luckier - get to see lots of bonus music at NightGrass shows.
THanks to everyone that makes this weekend happen every year

I never tried for the AVP; I don't worry about much, but the things that I do worry about, I worry about too much.  In other words, I wouldn't attempt to get one because I was always paranoid that the shows I really wanted to see would be the ones where they had reached capacity and would, thus, shut me out.  that's a worry I can avoid with a hard ticket to the show I want to see.

As far as getting those show tickets, I like the lottery system.  I think in a perfect world, TBF would just do a lottery for all nightgrass shows, then release for 'on sale' all tickets that weren't allotted that way.  Even without a systemized lottery, it's pretty much turns into a lottery of sorts for certain shows anyway, (particularly Yonder at the Sheridan).  It's a matter of chance whose finger clicks first and whose request makes its way through cyberspace first, except that folks with a slow connection are at a disadvantage.  So, yeah, I like the lottery; it's fair--an equalizer.

Anyway, getting excited like the rest of Yall.  Can't wait to know who's where when.  Hoping for some Fly Me to the Moon Cornmeal!

Okay, we have a four day pass. Is that an AVP? Maybe I should read through all the definition pages before I ask this. Still need to be after getting Nightgrass tickets in the lottery?

And...

Trampled by Turtles, Trampled by Turtles... Yay!!!

Oh and we got a reservation at the Hotel Madeline Telluride. Nice place?

Okay, we have a four day pass. Is that an AVP?

AVPs or all-venue passes are not being offered in 2011. But even if they were, your 4-day pass provides you admission into the festival grounds for the official 2011 Telluride Bluegrass Festival but not for Nightgrass shows. Nightgrass shows do not require festival tickets but tickets are sold separately on the Planet Bluegrass site (coming soon per the above from Bluegrass Dustin) and performances are held at venues throughout town and in Mountain Village.

You won't have to Wait So Long!
