Which…wow. They’ve expanded to three days this year. The schedule hasn’t been broken down into days yet, but I bet dollars to doughnuts that it’s going to be nearly impossible to pick just one day to go. It might almost be worth camping at the Gorge, and I don’t even like camping under the best of conditions.
Bumbershoot, are you paying attention? You have a lot to live up to this year.
Tickets: “All Tickets are General Admission. The first allotment of tickets are $55.50 (plus $1 charity) per day, available for the on-sale weekend only. Beginning Monday, March 10th tickets are $65.50 (plus $1 charity) per day. The week of the festival (beginning Monday, May 19th) tickets are $75.50 per day if still available.”

Three days (again) is CRAZY. But I guess that’s just how Sasquatch likes to roll these days.
Picking only one will be easy. Just choose the day that has FLAMING LIPS UFO SHOW. I am hoping that is not Saturday, because I’ve ended up missing the Memorial Day SIFF gala in favor of Sasquatch several times.
I don’t know why I assumed that they’d go back to two days. Three days seemed nuts last year.
And, yeah, good point.
Jamie Lidell alone is worth the price of admission.
