If you have ever been shut out of lottery and really wanted to see a show at the Sheridan or Fly me to the Moon, please tell your success stories here.

I'm sure there are hundreds, maybe thousands of success stories out there!  I have had success buying, selling and trading NG tickets in the past.  It's definitely possible.  Now some tickets are definitely harder to come by, but I think you'll find that tickets will be available for some of the shows as Festival time draws near.  Keep an eye on the forum and stay positive. 

I was in the very fortunate position to be able to miracle a young lady outside of the WSP show in St. Louis a couple weeks ago.  You never know where those tickets are going to come from. Don't get discouraged and good luck!

Last year we sold an extra Yonder Sheridan in camp, and also unloaded a couple extra sets of FMTTM tickets (can't remember which ones now) the week of. 

There's a board outside the box office where ppl post extras, as well as throughout the different campsites.  We've had lots of success there.   Thumbs Up

I sat lonesome outside of Fly Me during a show that I couldn't get in and was suddenly pulled in through the back door. Right place/right time.

We were part of someone's success story last year.  We won 4 Greensky tix and sold two (at a bit below face value) to a couple of happy festivarians.  Last year we won bunches of NG (2 punch, 2 elephant, 4 greensky), and this year we didn't get any, and missed out on Yonder Conference Center due to time zone confusion.  Our hope for this year is that karma will serve us well.  But we did get some Palm show tickets (Elephant and Greensky), so it's all good.

I was shut out of the Punch Brothers shows last year and this year, but this year I posted a plea in the "need tickets" section of the forum, and a super cool festivarian came to the rescue.  He/she also came through with a Wednesday night Yonder ticket before I even knew they were sold out.  I love this place and this group of folks!

A couple of years ago, I wanted to see Drew Emmitt and friends at the SOH SOOOOO bad, got shut out, and had lots of problems trying to find a ticket. I decorated a small paper plate in camp asking for tix, and hung it by the TP bathrooms on the board. Didn't hear anything, for days! Then, within an hour of the show starting, we got a phone call from a very nice man from Wisco - and he had 2 tickets for us!!!! WOO HOO!!! So, even if it seems like you may not get your tix, don't give up. We have A LOT of time before the show starts to get our tix!! Also, it seems like every year, in the days before the fest actually begins (like the Mon, Tues before), there is always nightgrass floating around town to be had.....Good luck all!!!  Cheers

Too tired to dance anymore I saw a sweet couple at the door of the S trying to get tickets to a nightgrass show, I gave them my tickets. It felt good to make someone happy and not to waste the great music to an empty seat. Yep feelin love all around in many ways...luck and success, one in the same some days!

It's impossible to be this funny in the physical realm.  However, I do have the ability to vomit green slime all over your TBF NG "success stories", as demonstrated in my previous post.
