...but this is my first Fest and I'm curious as to how it works with capacity, switching shows, etc.

For instance, Sunday night, ideally, I'll be jumping back & forth between Common Grounds & The Venue (as I assume a lot of people will be). Do you get a stamp or something at the door when you first get to each show or are you just hoping that each time you go back there's room for one more?

Like, if I watch The Draft & some of LTJ and then bust it over to Common Grounds for The Ergs (having been there earlier for Off With Their Heads) is there a possibility I won't get in?

I know it's mega-lame to be tossing and turning all night about The Ergs when I should be dreaming of PBR & Fest aids, but I've got all these questions!

Anyone? Anyone?

last year it was the first time you went into the venue for the day most of them would give you a wrist band that if you left and came back you could just flash.

as for being able to get back in i'm not sure the venue will fill up, personally i've never been inside the place but from looking at the outside it seems huge, but common grounds fills up really fast. the general rule of thumb is that if there is a band you REALLY want to see your best bet is to get there atleast a band before they go on stage.

from quick glances im really expecting common grounds to be full during saturday night and most of sunday. also the atlantic and market street pub on sunday

how many tickets were sold for the Fest? Like how many people will be there total??

666,000. it's kind of a big deal.

probably around a thousand passes in total...then you add the bands...200 or so with 5 or so avg. So thats a couple thousand people at least.
