Thank you RIDE Fans. VIP tickets sold out in minutes this morning but there are still some GA passes available. Due to heavy demand, we are releasing 50 more weekend VIP passes right now. Get them while supplies last. Town park campground nearly sold out. See you in July!

Thanks! Sounds like it could be tough getting tickets. Ive put out some feelers to a few of my friends who live there in hopes that they can score me a ticket through various hookups.

Found these little tidbits on their facebook page as well from last year....I also read that the city approved a capacity increase this year from 9,000 to 11,500.

Denise Tibbetts how many tickets were sold? what is the capacity of the venue?

Interesting. So he cancelled then came back on?

Well, if there were still tickets available last year that far out of onsale date...maybe there is hope.

Eddie didn't play this last year, right? He just cancelled, and had the band come back this year I guess.

The on sale last year was 3/20, so this was one day after. But, didn't sell out first day last year. Of course, that was Widespread Panic, this is Pearl Jam. Even if there are 25% more tickets, I bet they go much faster.

Schedule from last year.... For reference...

Widespread panic is HUGE in colorado. So who knows.

Cool. S o it looks like they could do 2 nights?

Doubt they do two nights. Announcement specifically said Saturday, July 9.

But, it also said more artists to be announced, and they could always add the Sunday show if they don't get another headliner. Is Cage the Elephant big enough to headline this one of the two nights?

I just booked direct flights to/from Denver for this with miles/rewards points. Fuck it, might as well.

I wonder the chances of them adding a red rocks show. That would be fantastic.

Hoping we can all score tickets to Ride Fest though. You think you'll camp or get a hotel somewhere?

would you guys just exchange phone numbers and b*ng already?

I think a buddy of mine is driving and we'll ride from Denver to Telluride (assuming we get tickets). We'll probably just try and camp and/or crash in the bed of his truck somehow. Not likely to get a hotel. But, it seems like the ideal camping spots here sell out quick. I checked a couple of hotels, they're all $300-$400+ per night and a few are already sold out.

Im going to look into camping outside of telluride, national forest or something. If i can find something within a decent distance, I may just do that.

Or beg one of my friends to let me crash at their place.

cut the shit we know you all are flying private and staying with Cody in his father-in-law's pool house

actually, my buddy is a beer rep for Oskar Blues and one of his bosses took him out to telluride on his helicopter. Maybe i shoul dlook into that.

Any new info on tickets for this thing? Just try my best on their website, i guess?

Yea i haven't heard anything else. Although some on the pit have mentioned they got their volunteer things lined up.

I'm nervous
