Hey everyone, Will Indy sell out? I may have an opportunity to go, but I won't know until Saturday (work) If I can walk up and buy tix that'd be great, but I'm reading some of you ordered them ahead of time.
I'd like to find a miracle or two but, I'd hate to waste $160 in gas round trip for no show.

It's $5 to get onto the festival grounds (free if you get there before 1, I think), and you pay that when you get there. I don't think it's possible for that to sell out, since it's just to get into Ribfest. However, if you want to get to the "VIP section" close to the stage, you have to buy separate tickets, which are $30. Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure those are sold out. You can still go and just see them from behind a second barricade (with me!), and from looking at videos from the St. Louis Ribfest, doesn't seem to be too far away. I really don't like the way they did the whole "VIP" thing, because there's people who bought the VIP tickets to see a different band, they might not bother to go see Blind Melon. From the St. Louis vids, it looks like there were a lot of people who did that, so there was a lot of empty space in front of the stage. The St. Louis vids are here, so hopefully that'll help what I'm trying to say make sense. I suck at explaining things. :-( blindmelons.proboards19.com/index.cgi?board=tour&action=display&thread=3760But you should still go! It'll be awesome, even if you can't get up close!

I may be a little bias to the situation but Indy is the ultimate stop on the tour for me. It's as close as they get to Shannon, his presence is strong here. I think most fans from small towns in Indiana feel a certain connection to the band. Maybe it's just me? Last March, when they played the Vogue, there seemed to be a special feeling in the air. I think there will be a little of that at Ribfest, although I personally would rather see them play a dark, dingy, hole in the wall bar. But I'm still really psyched to seem them play. My last show was The Metro and I'm starting to jones. I'm bringing a few first timers to help spread the word that Blind Melon is back and still really kick ass!! Military Park should be a pretty cool set up to see some good live music.
