TELLURIDE BLUEGRASS 2024 ON-SALE CHANGES

From the festival:

Dearest Festivarians,

We're rearing and ready to talk about the Telluride Bluegrass ticket on-sale! Strap down, because we've got a loooong email ahead of us.  

Let's talk about what's going to be different about the process this year.

In order to buy tickets in the general on-sale (December 7th @ 10a MT), you will need to be pre-registered. Let us repeat that for the people in the back: you will need to be pre-registered to buy TBF tickets on December 7th.

This pre-registration process will allow us to screen out known scalpers before they can buy tickets (thus getting tickets only into the hands of true Festivarians!).

Here's how to get pre-registered: Go to shop.bluegrass.com anytime between 12:00p on Tuesday, November 14th and 11:59p on Tuesday, November 28th.
Click “Get Tickets” on the “Telluride Bluegrass 2024 Pre-Registration” event. Note: this is not an actual event!
Select one (1) $10 TBF Pre-Registration “ticket” from the dropdown and proceed through the entire purchase process. Note: this is not an actual ticket!

Why $10? The idea of charging $10 to "pre-reg" is that it will discourage those who aren't fully committed to attending the Festival as well as those who are too committed (aka scalpers) to acquiring tickets to re-sell. We hope that true Festivarians won't mind contributing $10 to offset the carbon footprint of the Festival while achieving these goals.

Going through this process and making the purchase allows us to collect some of your information, specifically email address, shipping address, and the last four digits of your credit card. Having this info will enable us to enforce a couple rules which are: You can only purchase one pre-registration per email address and credit card.
You can only use two email addresses per shipping address.

Once the Pre-Registration window closes on 11/28, our partners at See Tickets will perform a scalper screening and disqualify the email addresses of known scalpers as well as the email addresses of those who broke either of the above rules. On or before 12/6, we will notify you via email letting you know whether or not your email address was accepted. Be sure to check your spam folder.

PLEASE NOTE: pre-registration does not guarantee you tickets to the Festival!

As for the $10 it costs to pre-register, one of three things will happen: If you are accepted and purchase tickets, your $10 will go towards offsetting the carbon footprint of the Festival.
If you are accepted and aren't able to purchase tickets, your $10 will be refunded to the card you used to make the original purchase.
If you are rejected for any reason, your $10 will not be refunded but go towards offsetting the Festival’s carbon footprint.

On the morning of Thursday December 7th, Planet Bluegrass will send an email to all approved pre-registrants with the password which will allow you into the actual Telluride Bluegrass Festival event pages. They will be found at shop.bluegrass.com.

shop.bluegrass.com

You can find all the nitty gritty pre registration and on-sale details here.

PHEW! Okay, that's the whole gist of it. Thanks for sticking with us. If you have any questions, please give our office a call.

Love,

Your Friends on Planet Bluegrass
