Roll Call - Newport Folk Festival!!!!

[CountSA]

Ever the optimist, I should however note a tweet from the folks at NFF:

@Newportfolkfest (15 hours ago)

"We're COMPLETELY sold out of ALL SAT & SUN tix & have NONE on hold or reserve. Thanks for the amazing support in making this an epic year"

Well I guess I can stop trying 50 times a day on ticketmaster  :(

As I said, I'm an optimist, though not so much when it comes to Ticketfucker. 

Might I suggest we have a roll call in the ticket section for folks in need?  My tix are spoken for, but others may have a change in plans and I would hope we'd think of forum peeps ahead of profit via eBay/Craigs List/etc.

I'm somewhat optimistic as well - I have a knack for getting into sold out/private shows.  The price tag I'm seeing on the secondary market scares the crap outta me though.  However I'm pretty fortunate that I don't have to make any travel plans for it and can jump on any last minute tix.

Does anyone know if there are anymore plans to add some more artist to the lineup? Or was the Friday night additions probably the last of the new artists?

Stick with StubHub and eBay, they have buyer guarantees, I once had a messed up ticket for a show from StubHub (had no barcode!) a quick visit to the service deck at Radio City and a quick phone call later, and I was in the venue enjoying the show!
