Lumni Tix on sale tomorrow

Just a Heady Topper for me, thanks. Fresh as humanly possible.

I am with you Sneake. I do VIP and RV and I still think it is a good deal. I can not speak for the tent camping, but I feel that I have been well taken care of the last three years. I feel confident the line-up will be incredible. Although I have to admit I am hoping they continue to stay away from DMB.

"Flame"? Nah. You're not lobbing insults from the relative safety and anonymity of a guest account, so why would I do that? Also, I don't see how defending this forum from behavior that is the literal definition of a troll is flaming, but I don't wish to argue.

Anyhoo, if the past three years are any indication, if you purchase tix with the discount and then aren't satisfied with the line-up, you should have exactly zero difficulty selling them at face value.

It's my understanding that 'Roo took like 3 years to get their parking mess squared away, and Lockn' managed it by the second year (not the size of 'Roo, obv). Probably would've gone smoother this year too, if the volunteers and staff weren't suffering from a mild-to-moderate case of PTSD. That's no one's fault or Bob Weir's, depending on who you talk to. 

Look, it may not be something I would realistically do, but if I dropped the kind of coin that VIP or SVIP requires, and I felt like I didn't get everything I paid for, I guess I'd be pretty upset too. The more money spent, the higher the expectations. It's only natural. But if you're spending that kind of cash, and you feel you're not getting what you paid for, why continue to spend the money? I'm not condemning here, I'm INVITING. Come and camp with us in GA. I can't speak for everyone there, but Sue and I have little or no expectations beyond the line-up, recognizing that that, too, is subject to change. We, and everyone around us, always manage to have a spectacular time. It's a personal invitation too: if you're a member of this board and you'd like to GA car camp with us, just let us know and meet us at the Food Lion beforehand. We'll start a forum compound; it'll be fun.

You need to be closer because you're getting on in years/are infirm? With the money you save, you can easily afford cart rides. Or if infirm, consider going ADA. I know some folks are sketchy about that if they're not like in a wheelchair or something, but if that's case consider the former option. And really, just how important is a flush toilet anyway? And then there's the viewing area: I guess it's cool to have a platform up close and in the middle like that, but since you can't have chairs or shade structures on that platform (and it's actually enforceable and enforced), if you are agéd/infirm, you're gonna be spending significant time in GA anyway. 

SVIP...well, I dunno if I could even put a price on being practically backstage and the private performances. Lucky for me, those are things that I just don't find to be that important. 

This is gonna sound like class warfare at first (so many things I say do, apparently), but it seems to me like the only people bitching are VIP and above. That's not to say though that you are getting what you paid for. Without having been there personally, I have no way of knowing, but I have no reason to doubt you, and anyway the sheer amount of complaints is enough circumstantial evidence for me. But like the old bumper sticker said:"If it ain't fun, why do it?"

jrtmom, here's your code!!!  

I went VIP and was thrilled. I however did not ever use a VIP entrance, only flushed once, never found VIP camping and slept by the general store (perfect for early and late), there are chairs on the platform and that is what we paid for so Murphy could sit and see. I spent more time on the lawn than on the platform but was able to climb up and down the side at will.
In conclusion, THANKS LOCKN FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO AND 'LUMNI SALES!!!

Does VIP not have a payment plan? 'Cause the GA one really helps us out.

Yes, there is a payment plan for 'lumni tix. SueB just made our first payment today.

We're in. GA 'Lumni tickets. In Dave and Pete we trust...predicting WSP, TTB, P&F, and SCI will all be on the bill next year ;-)

We didn't do the 'Lumni tickets last year but bought the Christmas 2 pack. We wanted to "keep some powder dry" in case GD50 happened. Of course we ended up spending $100 more and then did Chicago too.

Do wish the payment plan was a little more spread out. Buying at Christmas last year I didn't make my last payment until July, I think. This payment plan is really compressed.

Will decide on a camping option later, I am guessing we will be GA Tent only again, but if we have friends to do a camping compound, we might consider the car camping.

Liked for "balderdash," if nothing else.

If you are even considering going, buy now. Like Worf said, no problem with the resale if you choose not to go. Unfortunately this year is out for us. I work in a school and the kids attend school, so it's not gonna happen this time. We will be back, just not next year.
