Is this thing happening

Has anyone heard are these weekends going to be for those that rolled tickets over, or will there be all new ticket sales. Personally I don't think the full ticket value equals a weekend with limited capacity and without 4 full days of music. But for us it's way more than just the music. Its the community. Spending 10 days in Telluride without driving! Having time for hikes, rides and pre-fest fun. Then capped off with a full weekend of the best music. I'm ranting, so I'll stop. I look forward till the day we ALL are back for a full Telluride! 

I think they're still trying to figure out what might work.  I suspect the answer to your question is dependent upon what general direction they proceed.  They talk about it briefly on KOTO news yesterday (3/12/21):

1st scenario: TBF will take place over the solstice weekend with a capacity AT OR GREATER than 3,000/day. TBF would still need to comply with county, state, & town public health orders.

2nd scenario: assuming 3,000 people cannot gather safely --> 2 smaller events, less than 3,000 attendees/day over 2 weekends, June 11-13th & 17-20th. Music would run from 3-10:30 PM or 5 to 10:30 pm depending on the day. Telluride parks and rec. commission + Telluride commission community assistance arts/special events would need to approve scenario 2 as if differs from current approval. If approved, PB must make their decision by MID APRIL. Telluride parks and rec. commission will discuss this on Wed. march 17th at noon via zoom. The meeting is open to public and the public will be able to share input.

TBD...

For 2021 TBF

A percentage of tickets will be sold only to Telluride locals and purchase priority will be offered to ticket holders who postponed their 2020 tickets. Seems to be about 2,559 tickets up for grabs at current conditions. Things can change.

Patrons will have the ability to purchase tickets to a 10’ x 10’ square, delineated in
the festival field, called a corral. Corrals are only to be shared by members of a
family or “exposure group” who have made the decision to travel and visit together.
When a corral is reserved, the reserving party must purchase a minimum of four
tickets. After the first four tickets have been purchased, additional tickets to each
corral can be purchased independently by the reserving party, up to a maximum of
eight.

other proposed changes:
no Warner field or Elks park.
no Nightgrass shows.
no tarp run.

PB would take over TP camping Wednesday, June 9 – Monday, June 21(3 additional days than usual)


Discussed tomorrow will be:

Move to approve (or deny) the request by Planet Bluegrass for Use of a
Portion of Town Park for Additional Telluride Bluegrass Festival Dates of Friday, June 11,
Saturday, June 12, and Sunday, June 13, 2021 for a Minor Festival Event on June 11 – 13 and
17 – 20, 2021 with the following conditions:
1. Approval of the proposed minor festival event is for year 2021 only.
2. Approval of the proposed minor festival event does not impact historic major festival
event venue approvals (facilities, curfews, etc.) in year 2022 and beyond.
3. Bluegrass Festival shall decide by April 15, 2021 between the following two scenarios:
a. The existing approval for a major festival event on Bluegrass’ historical weekend,
June 17 – 20, with a TBD capacity greater than 3,000 persons per day (capacity
shall comply with State public health regulations and be approved by the Town
and County Public Health).
b. A proposed one year only modification for a minor festival event (less than 3,000
persons per day) on June 11 – 13 & June 17 - 20 (if approved by CCAASE).
4. Bluegrass Festival compliance with all State, County, and local public health regulations
at the time.
5. Town reserves the sole and absolute right to control the Telluride Town Park and to
either permit or cancel the Telluride Bluegrass Festival at any point.


The bar will be operated remotely by Telluride Bluegrass Beer
Booth, Inc., delivering food and drink to patron’s corrals. A QRCode attached to each corral can be scanned using the patron’s
phone, which will take them to an online menu where food and
drinks can be ordered from the bar. Payments and tips will be
made via credit card through app and bar staff will deliver the
order to the corral.Order fulfillment will operate out of five 20x20 tents along the west side of the field.
Orders will be directed to the nearest fulfillment center where staff will pack them
and send them out for delivery.
All drinks will be served in cans to increase speed, prevent spills, and reduce the
chance of germs getting into open air drinks. Food will be cooked by independent vendors selected by Planet Bluegrass and
delivered to corrals utilizing the bar’s infrastructure. Food offerings will be limited to a
select few vendors to maintain rapid delivery speeds. All vendors will cook from the
backstage catering area and food will be transported to bar fulfillment centers.

Keep in mind, this is all tentative & things could change.

So are they discussing the possibility of the campground being open for 13 days for ticketholders? That's a long time to go without clean underwear. But room for plenty of jam sessions.

Ha! Yep!

Here's the only thing that worries me: 

"No Town Park"

From the current understanding, town park camping (including the back part, bear creek) will be open for camping as usual. Both camping areas normally have a 600 person camping capacity. the memo did not say they would reduce capacity for camping.

TELLURIDE PARKS AND REC. COMMISSION MTG 03/17/21 -12 PM


Commission voted 4-1 to approve the request by Planet Bluegrass for Use of a
Portion of Town Park for Additional Telluride Bluegrass Festival Dates of Friday, June 11,
Saturday, June 12, and Sunday, June 13, 2021 for a Minor Festival Event on June 11 – 13 and
17 – 20, 2021 with the conditions listed earlier in the post.

Craig & the rest of PB now need approval from the Commission for Community Assistance, Arts & Special Events, which meets on April 7th.

If approved, PB will need to make their decision by April 15th to give town enough time to adequately prepare.

personal notes:
looks like the big acts will be back on board for 2021 as of course, TBF is their bucket list festival each year. Still unsure of rest of the line-up. Craig did mention he doesn't really expect to have attendance over 2,500 for this year.

Thanks for all the great updates, wishing all my fellow beloved Festivarians a wonderful time.

Our country is still locked up, no international travel unless it’s an emergency so I guess I will be sitting this one out. Rolled over my TP camping from last year but I guess something will work out.

Go forth and enjoy the music, my heart is with everyone.

I miss you all very much.
