Sorry, the NightGrass lottery is now closed...
Because of the enormously high demand for tickets to these intimate NightGrass shows, Planet Bluegrass will be selling the most popular of these tickets this year (all-venue passes, Yonder at the Sheridan Opera House, Railroad Earth at the Sheridan Opera House) using an online lottery system. This lottery was held from 9am - 3pm MDT on Wednesday, April 1, 2009.
Our goal is to make this system as fair and convenient as possible for all festivarians, while reducing incidents of scalping and other ticket resales. Please spread the word to fellow festivarians about this new lottery system.
All other NightGrass tickets (two more Sheridan shows, Telluride Conference Center, and all Fly Me to the Moon shows) will be sold using our regular online ticketing system at shop.bluegrass.com beginning at 10am MDT, Wednesday, April 8.

What happens next?

On Thursday, April 2, we will begin randomly selecting entries from all lottery entries using computer-assigned random numbers.
We will begin by filling all-venue pass requests until those are sold-out. At this point, any entries which have been awarded all-venue passes will not be eligible for any additional tickets via the lottery.
We will then re-shuffle the remaining lottery entries and randomly select orders to purchase tickets to the Yonder Mountain String Band show. Once those tickets have sold-out, we will re-shuffle all lottery entries a third time and randomly select orders to purchase Railroad Earth tickets.
All lottery entries which were not selected to purchase all-venue passes will have an equal chance of winning tickets to either/both of the Sheridan shows.
Your credit card / check will only be deposited if we are able to fill your order. Otherwise, we will destroy your credit card number or check.
If you have further questions, give us a call - 303-823-0848 / 800-624-2422 - or email planet@bluegrass.com.
