I see they are selling Single Day VIP & SVIP tickets. VIP sales must be down this year. I guess that's why they have not announced who is doing the late night SVIP sets. Called CID and they have no info.

I don't see how they would be worth it. At the show itself, I divided my time between VIP and GA (with my lesser friends and relations). The value, to me, was in the camping and related facilities.

Just got the email and looked it up on the website. VIP single day tickets are $500 for Friday, Saturday or Sunday. No option for Thursday. And NO CAMPGROUND ACCESS. They also have GA single days going on sale Friday: $80 for Thursday or $129 for Fri, Sat, or Sun.

"no campground access" does not likely mean you can't walk around there; you just can't set up camp or drive there. While the gates to the VIP/SVIP camp areas are loosely guarded, the rest aren't.

I think they meant just the VIP/SVIP campgound access. So you couldn't go stay with a VIP friend that night after your 1 day pass. All other campgrounds are wide open when walking to the BRB & Woods.

So IF there was to be another artist announcement (which feels unlikely at this point) would it not make the most sense to make this announcement tomorrow before the single day tickets go on sale?

You know I was just thinking to myself before I came on here: There were more acts I was looking forward to last year, but I think I'm getting more excited this year.My head hurts from over analyzing lockn for the past few months.

Like you I was more familiar with the lineup last year. But I also am getting more excited for this year because of all the bands I have not seen before like Phish, Ween, MMJ & others. Plus ones coming back that I hoped for, Gary Clark Jr, TTB, Umphrey's McGee & Phil with his new friends. Gonna be epic!

How many single day Super VIP tickets at $900+ dollars each do you think they will sell?

I would not do it, you don't get to camp overnight. It would be stressful watching the late night shows knowing you had a possibly long drive after that.

there are probably a few rich folks and maybe trustafarians who can only go for a day and who will buy tickets at the last minute due to work. Being a master of the universe gets really hectic.

Now change the title to include GA as they are on sale now. Or we can just go ahead and start the class war here and now.
This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill—the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill—you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. Remember: all I'm offering is the truth. Nothing more.
What happens if I take both?

You could get a super Ween / Phish freak that will pay the price & figure they can hang out in the SVIP air-conditioned tent & have lunch & supper. But that price for 1 day, no thanks.

Agreed on both points. It could happen but no thanks. But it doesn't come as a surprise that none of us are into it. We are all already the people that threw down for the full ride.
