Thanks Dustin, you confirmed most of my hunches, I just wanted to coax it out of you, so we all had it from the horse's mouth (no offense :).

We know you care, and that's why we love ya'.

Telluride Bluegrass Fest -- 2011

10,000 Tickets.....68 scalped = .0066%

Not many scalpers or bots

..Dustin, thank you for the history and placing of things into perspective.  With regard to the tix on stubnub, I'd highlighted only the largest data point (68 tix for one of the single-day passes).. the total number was 202 tix for sale the day after the sales.  That number is currently 194.  Still, less than 2 percent; which when taken into perspective, is a minimal number of scalpers (especially if presuming that each person doing so ordered 4 tix w/sole intention of reselling them all .. putting the number of scalpers to just over 50 (on stubhub)).  Craigslist (in my area) has multiple posts requesting tickets .. I haven't seen any (as of last night) attempting to sell any.

So, perhaps times are changing .. and .. next year may be even worse.  Until then, though, I will treasure the opportunity to again get to TBF this year (regardless of whether or not I can secure in-town lodging .. Mtn Village, Ridgway and Ouray have always worked out great thus far).

Respectfully,
  Kevin
