Nightgrass Lottery

[BuckeyeDog]

Got the PB e mail. No GSBG, so Pass Port, won't have any tickets for you this year. But did manage to get Red Knuckles, which is just fine, since there is no Salmon Saturday night, we can get to the Sheridan early.

Just a PSA that this thread is likely getting deleted by the moderators....

So if you're looking for a trade/purchase, probably get that thing up on the Nightgrass section of the Shop.

The main thread will remain intact, but any post that resembles a plea for tickets will be deleted.
All ticket requests need to be in the Nightgrass Ticket Exchange / Swap area of the forum, not in this thread.

Thank you for your adherence to the rules of the forum.

Wow, everyone is going crazy over missing out on Greensky. I know I would feel the same way. I hope they get an extended set on main stage cause there will be lots of tears otherwise.

Skubes is right, Yonder at the CC is the easiest to get. Not a bad show, just have to make sure you don't miss the 2 AM ganjala. Went last year because I had my 18 year old with me, and this was the only Nightgrass where you didn't have to be 21 to get in. This year I see that the Sheridan shows will let people under 21 in if accompanied by a parent. Has that always been the case or is that new?

Just to clarify, The Palm is +21???  :huhIf so that's going to change my plans as I have tickets to two of the shows and an 18 year old that won't be able to get in. 

I don't say this to be mean, but don't know how else to say it except to do so directly: It literally says 21+ on the Nightgrass page that describes those events. Maybe one of the Planet folks can clarify further, but it seems pretty clear that the Sheridan is the only venue that will allow under 21 with an adult from the way those events are billed on the Planet's website.

I'm glad it didn't say it figuratively or that would truly make things difficult.

Zack, you and my wife can get together and commiserate about my continued lack at failing to read directions before jumping in.

Saw Greensky last night for the first time. They were fun, and we totally had a good time, but as far as life changing, face melting, or absolutely blown away, I'll say those feelings didn't happen for me or my wife. We spent first set riding the rail in front of the mando guy, and second set in front of the sound board because as typical thats where it sounded best. I write music reviews and critique music for pay, my wife is a classically trained cellist, both of us play to no mastery level many instruments. Maybe we are to critical, or maybe we've just been blown away to many other times by bands more intricately accurate performers. The bass player needs to pick it up, and he even played way off beat in many songs. In my opinion its the Dobro player thats the special sauce here, and what really defines the sound they have. I will definitely catch every set of theirs at any festival, but I doubt I ever pay to see  solo show again. Did buy some koozies, and stickers!

Ah. I think they sound much, much, much better about five or six rows in. I saw them pressed up against the stage and the sound was nowhere near as good.

They are perfect to me

Possibly due to a certain bloke on mandolin but I'm clearly the only person in the world who thinks that way 😀😀😀😀

Yes the dobro player ( Anders Beck) is awesome

And seriously, no one will mind if you don't go in the draw for Nightgrass next time cause we hopelessly besotted campers are all desperate to get our hands on tickets and that is one fewer in the lottery.

To each their own. They changed my life.

On the other hand, I'm not as crazy over Leftover Salmon as most folks seem to be........

The post Mark Vann Leftover doesn't even compare to the days when The Apartment was on drums, Tye North on Bass, and no one will ever forget Banjovi! Now that group blew my mind so many times I can't count. When they first added keys they lost some of that original sound that was soooo awesome. We didn't put in for GSBG nightgrass, as I took the advice of the forum and left those tix for folks who were already big fans. We went to the show last night as a test to see if we wanted to seek those out, but I think we're good on the GSBG!

Australian Fan, my favorite Aussie is here in the states, and we are meeting up tomorrow. Can't remember the town he lives in, but its out where they filmed the bar from Crocodile Dundee. Hopefully he's bringing a stuffed drop bear for my son!!

Even though last year, both Bluegrass told me directly and said on webpage. we were not able to get our 19 and yr old sons into the Sheridan last year... was with both parents.. Only show was Yonder at the convention center he was able to get into

Sometimes we all just need to be thankful for what we got. We all wont find Greensky tix. But they will be in the main stage. Maybe they will do something at Elks Park? How lucky we are to just be able to go to Telluride. How many folks would love to be here but cant due to health, financial issues, family responsibilities, etc.... Us lucky ones get to spend a wonderful week with family, friends, and great music in one of the most beautiful venues on the planet.
Believe me, whether its GSBG or Salmon or not, I am thankful to have 10000+ friends.

Buckeye, speaking of Elks Park, will the schedule be announced prior to the festival or do we not find that out till we get there??

I think about the time they announce First Grass, about 10 days before. My guess is early June. Maybe someone else can be more precise.
