...and in the past few years, there have been lots of tickets for sale right near the box office, or via fliers posted on the Town Park shower billboard.  That's even MORE of a gamble, but I've seen both of those scenarios play out for the last 4 or 5 years.

I noticed a fair number of tickets for sale on secondary markets.  We need to make quite a few plans to get to Telluride for the festival, and I'd like to get my tickets as soon as possible.  Is it safe to buy tickets through the secondary sources?
Thanks

I'd avoid secondary markets if possible. Tickets will become available on this site as the festival draws closer.

DO NOT pay more than face value EVER. If we refuse to pay over face scalpers and scumbags will not buy tickets. This has worked for many of us for years.

Keep looking down in the ticket section, stay positive and you will find tickets.

Happy Festivating!

I know several people have had luck with Craig's List, but I've never gotten tickets there. As The Lorax said, do not pay over face value for your tickets, period. Go ahead and make your arrangements to be there and the tickets will follow at face value. If you go ahead and buy tickets over face value now, you'll be left kicking yourself when the tickets come pouring out in May for face (and sometimes even below).
