I received a free ticket from my employer and was arrested for trying to enter with a forged or whatever ticket.  Total crock of you know what.  I sat in jail for hours and should've sued for false arrest.  The walk back to my residence at the time wasn't easy either.  This was about 10 years ago, Telluride organizers/cops back then, what a joke.

Have things changed, do the festival organizers still freak out about people supposedly trying to sneak in?  The year after my injustice, I went to the festival organizer to show my legal documents concerning my false arrest and received a one day pass.  I should've received a 3 day pass.

tbone -

I don't know the details of your previous situation...it was before my time. Let's keep it in the past.

I will however state without reservation that we, the festival organizers, will still "freak out" about people trying to sneak in or use counterfeit anything.

Anyone attempting to do so will be arrested.


All of that said...we're a real fun bunch and I've never really experienced a "scene" in my 5 years.

Your story is the exception, not the rule...come back and give us another try.

Cheers

Our tent door zipper broke and we had to try to clip it with clothes pins everytime I would move the pins would fly off. Needless to say we froze our butts  LOL off

Maybe when I had my face melted off by Leftover Salmon in 2008.  I left it in the festival grounds.  Good thing it's biodegradable  LOL
