Question! Any word on reserved pavilion seats? I'm just wondering for my 59 year old mom since she has a knee replaced and can't sit on the ground so well. For once in a long time, my mom and sister want to attend V-fest with me. I get the feeling that getting three tickets is going to be very tricky.

It's GA, you'll just have to get seats in the pavillion and keep them. Though you might want to reach out to see if they have handicapped seating available if her mobility is an issue.

Thanks and all! In 2010 and 2011, they had special tickets up for grabs for a price. It allowed people to keep their seats in a special section of the pavilion. I believe they started doing that after the insanity for seats that happened in 2009. (Believe me, it was nuts. My mom didn't leave her seat the whole day. Even if your friend holds your seat for you, you have to wait in line for them to allow you access, which at one point took at least an hour or so.)

In 2010 and with 2011, I had easy access to getting a seat for a band's set. Judging by the hard hitters they have this year, I don't think it's going to be that easy. Jack White and Nas are both pretty huge shit and I'm sure fans will keep seats for hours. (Back in 2009, the same situation happened because of Weezer)

cool thing about this show is discovering bands you know nothing about

Did you just move to DC from another part of the country or something?

You're probably right now that I'm thinking about it.

I'm going to make a wild guess here… M83 and Jack White will be part of the evening headliners. You have to have M83 play when it's dark outside because of their amazing light set up. A part of me gets the feeling M83 will play the field stage because it's more dance orientated music. And I'll also guess that Skrillex will probably play after M83. They did a similar set up last year with Empire of the Sun and DeadMau5.

Okay so here's my guess for which stage who is playing and I've put it in order of who I think will play first and all that jazz…

Field Stage - Future Islands (they'll probably be the opening act), Allen Stone, Das Racists, Santigold, Nas, M83, Skrillex (Most likely the headliner, if not, then it'll be M83),

Pavilion Stage - Justin Jones (I'm guessing he'll be the first on here), Trample By Turtles, Alabama Shakes, Portugal the Man, The Dismemberment Plan, Ben Folds Five, ZZ Top, and Jack White (I'm betting that ZZ Top and Jack White might even play together!!!)

Trampled By Turtles is in the Dance Forest

because bluegrass is dance music?

To some people. The flyer has confused me, I thought the trees being next to the names meant they were in the forest….. I guess it's UNDER the trees is the forest…

I wasn't able to get any, had to do it on iPhone and stupid captchas got me


one time it was in chinese and then the next sanskrit
;D

I was shut out, but I didn't get a chance to log in until 12:02.

Will Freemium still be available tomorrow if I'm shut out?

freemiums were available along with the free & donation tickets.  so once the "on free" starts, go straight for those if that's what you want.  you can take a chance, try for free/cheaper and hope that there are freemiums left if you get shut out… or you can go for the sure thing right away.

I am from Baltimore.  I don't know why it is so suprising that I had never heard of dismemberent plan.  I listened to some of their stuff on Youtube and it wasn't like they had a lot of hits.  If you should be suprised of anything it would be Shrillex.  That person has like 16 million hits on their video.  But whatever I didn't like Dismemberment plan.  Or Das Racist for that matter. 

I don't like Dismemberment Plan either.

Ok who else today needs tickets?? Did everyone get what they needed yesterday??  Here is hoping I get tix
;D

I'm not surprised that people don't like Dismemberment Plan. Lord knows I don't. I'm just surprised that he listed all those other bands he knew and wanted to see, and hadn't even heard of DP. That's kind of like saying you've never heard of Fugazi around here.

I think Fugazi is pretty popular.  But I saw them in I think in 1992 at some abortion rights thing in Baltimore and I saw their prior bands as well like Embrace and Rites of Spring.  As to Clutch I would not know of them except they were at the 930 club 30th anniversary show.  I really didn't like them.  Evidently Baltimore bands are much better than DC Bands though I do like Screen Vinyl Image.
