I ended up with extras last year because 3 people had to cancel for various reasons. I sold them AT COST in the parking lot, day of the show. Took less than 5 minutes. But I always buy for my group. Every ticket gets used. What would the point of hoarding them be?

Re: More about the rules

The "sand, pools, etc." reference is meant to discourage ... and to the guest who two years ago attempted to set up a large 16' round pool in our parking lots. I remember that guy! We were one of the first ones in line at the gate that day, I saw the tanker truck of water get turned away.

Only problem with Summerfest is the lack of Tailgaiting. Sure, you've got the grounds to party on all day, but you can't do it in proper Parrothead style....

I have a friend who's kept the operater busy for a couple minutes before. The risk is counting on being able to actually get through at 9:56. But if you can, great strategy!

But it IS illegal to list them for sale before the venue has them on sale. That's 10am, and some of these auctions were up at 8:30.

EBay

Just for a lark, I decided to look at the prices the A$$h@les on E-bay are charging for Alpine Valley....it's hilarious...ranging from $120 to $999.


Sad thing is, people are actually bidding to pay these bastards.
