Wait... so they KNEW they weren't going to sell as many tickets this year, and planned the acts accordingly?

I mean, I'm happy with the line-up, but .. they had to cap the size because of EMS services?

Yea I have to challenge some of this. Kind of sounds like butthurt from someone who lost a contract that they have counted on. Maybe they should have bid more competitively to earn the contract. ~~I don't know that they have capped at 15,000 but they most certainly have not reduced the camping by 50% that is for sure.~~ ~~The only area that they are not using of Oak Ridge this year that was used last year was the VIP Car camping area and that area was not full last yea~~r. Maybe downsizing the festival is the right thing to do. If they are not profitable then this thing dies. None of us wants that. Personally I think that there is nothing to see here and I plan to move along...

Edit: After reviewing last year's map there are several large camping areas that are not being used this year.

They kind of make it sound like "Hey, we make a lot of money from injuries and illnesses at Lockn. We need more sick and injured people so we can have a better vacation and a bigger Christmas budget!"

But Bird is right. If there's a lot of Nelson County folks missing out on revenue from the festival, to the point they are antagonistic to it, they can certainly make it a painful experience for the attendees...

I agree. One of the reasons B'roo has been so successful is because they take care of Coffee Co, TN. One of the reasons, if not THE reason, that AllGood failed at Marvins was they didn't take care of the surrounding community.

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?

My only positive thought is the fact the county approved the late nights at the planning commission. This is when they could have said f you and they didnt. Unless the EMS change was made after that meeting. Then thats an even bigger problem.

That is a great question.

The answer is nothing. Nada, zip, zero. I buy my tickets at full price like all of you. I donate a considerable amount of my free time to this board because I love it and it is my gift to the community. On top of that I pay $6 a month, out of my pocket so that you don't have to see ads on this forum. I also pay, out of my own pocket, the fees for the domain rights to www.locknforum.com. I ask nothing in return and just hope that this is a space where we can come that is free from hate, politics and a lot of that other shit you have to deal with elsewhere.

See I am not a shill for Frey/Shapiro. I'm just an obsessed music festival fan. Many here will vouch that my participation here is entirely voluntary. But again, great question...

This is rural Virginia, if they don't get paid by providing services, they'll get their money by harassing patrons.

If you spend a little time here you'll notice the lack of ANY input from Frey or the other guy. Lockn' Festival has absolutely nothing to do with the content here. If they did, they'da booted my ass long ago for not drinking the sparkley, unicorn fart cool-aid bullshit that is the Lockn' Facebook presence.

or capped the size so they didn't have to rent the track, fewer porto's, fewer generators, less everything that costs money. Sounds to me like the "size cap" came first. (i.e. before EMS lost contract)

Sound like a bitch fest from Curtis, IMHO. So, we had 30k plus there last year, and you're gonna cut that number in HALF, and still have a lineup like this years?

Pardon the pun....but there's something fishy going on in that letter.
