Welcome to the Lockn' Forum - The home of the original Lockn' Music Festival family!
I saw the Rolling Stones for $7.50 (Stevie Wonder opened), the Who with a first time laser show for the same, and Springsteen for $8.00 (paid extra for day of show). Most of my historic shows from back in the day were between $5 and $7. Someone else did the math on the ticket price v. 40 shows v. how many hours, and buying in bulk has its advantages. But what you say would make sense if your personal preference was not to see any but two or three acts (how I feel about big fests like ACL and 'roo). On that I agree and to me it was a marketing fail to show them as prominently as if "this is the best we can do" and especially after their long struggle to get anything on the board. Surely, or hopefully, other bands will take those big letter spots and those two will drop to their deserved smaller font size. As it stands, it's a little bit pathetic. I stand with the other locknvets with the expectation that it will get better, but the card as announced, other than Phish, doesn't have the wide appeal that we should see later. And that's not to say anything negative about each band's music--just that their draw or wow factor doesn't match their font size, realistically.

The entry was really good Year 2. I'm hoping for a return to that, or even an improvement on that. Last year was really fucked by the storm, they lost a lot of staff that did entry. They also started earlier with pretty much everybody arriving at once, instead of stretching the admission out with people arriving from far away and a later start.

I'll stop short of calling bullshit yet, but where did you see MMJ for $25 and Phish for $30 in this decade?

Between that and recognizing my son and I last year in the crowd on Friday night and introducing yourself, well...must mean something I suppose. Did you like the song? Theologians

I'm sure there's a Chocolatetown USA tax, just as there's a Happy Valley one, but I can't imagine the discrepancy being that large.
