if the worst happens (not likely) and you don't get tickets, you can listen to the fest from your condo (if it is close) or streaming on the radio (KOTO) if not. And you can certainly hear from many spots along the river. But trust the universe. It is true that every year tons of tickets are available, starting two weeks before the fest, on the forum. And even more once you get to town. Also true that this year seems to be different, with more big names and more non-Festivarians getting their hands on tickets and scalping to obscene levels.
I still say, trust the universe!!
