Last year's pre-sale announcement.

Post by omegared » Sat Nov 15, 2014 4:48 am

So I know I'm just kinda softballing it in there for snark but here we go... Does anyone remember when the announced the dates for pre-sale ticket sales last year? The sale wasn't until the end of January, but does anyone recall when the announcement was made? Things I already know...

1) This is not last year
2) What happened last year has no bearing on what will happen this year (I'm just looking for a ballpark timeframe here people)
3) Chicken soup is good for you when you have a cold. Also get lots of fluids... hydrate.
4) They will make the announcement when they are #^%$ well ready.

I'm thinking this is wrapped up in the discussions they are having about pnp also. I would imagine everything to be a bit delayed this year.

First thing I've found with a date is January 9th

Great thanks!!! I missed the announcement last year. I just remember thinking "Hey I wonder if tickets have gone on sale yet?" , "Oh look presale has been on sale for 2 days already." Had a kind of white-knuckle experience obtaining a ticket this year and plan on being a little more proactive considering the mad dash seen in the individual/OMG sales... which I anticipate will be worse next year.

Good luck omegared, but I'm pretty sure the restraining order in place is going to effect the plans for one of us.

lonesomebri, There was a restraining order taken out against Camp Threat??? Not SUPER suprising... You had the LEOs there enough times. Seriously it was like I was camped next to a police station.

Speaking personally and just guessing based on the last couple years, I would expect for ticketing information (including any presale info) to be made available in early January. We've had years where the details came before the end of the year, but I think making the announcement requires some kind of signoff by the BLM and that's not so easily done before the first of the year.
