Starting tomorrow, Bumbershoot tickets hop up to “regular” price: three-day passes go from $80 to $100; daily passes go from $35 to $40. So if you think you’ll be spending Labor Day at Seattle Center (and you really should — every time I look at the lineup I see three or four exciting things I’d missed previously. For instance, did you know that FINAL FANTASY is playing on Sunday night? He is.), dial up the online order form [#] or make a quick trip to your friendly neighborhood Starbucks before the close of business.

And before you start complaining that in the olden days tickets used to be cheaper, please consider that the advance price for three days at Bumbershoot would barely cover a day at most other big summer music festivals. Plus, you don’t even have to see Jack Johnson!
