The 2014 NightGrass schedule includes shows at the historic Sheridan Opera House, the Fly Me to the Moon Saloon, and the Palm Theatre (all within walking distance of the Town Park festival grounds or served by a free shuttle). As well, the Telluride Conference Center in Mountain Village (reached via a free gondola ride from Telluride) will host Yonder Mountain String Band’s 13th Annual Bluegrass Kick-Off Party on the Wednesday before the Festival.

Due to the anticipated high-demand, tickets for *all* of these shows will be sold via an online lottery open for 3 days – Monday, April 14 thru Wednesday, April 16 at 11:59pm MDT.

Any tickets that remain after this lottery will be sold beginning at 9am MDT on Tuesday, April 22 at 800-624-2422 or online at shop.bluegrass.com. Lottery entrants will be notified of the status of their entry by Monday, April 21.

With this year’s historic demand for all Telluride Bluegrass tickets, Planet Bluegrass has made several changes to the online lottery:

– Tickets for all shows, including the larger Palm Theatre and Telluride Conference Center venues, will be sold via this year’s online lottery.

– Entrants in the lottery may win tickets to at most one show per day. The online lottery form will allow each entrant to request tickets to 1-3 shows per night and prioritize them as their 1st, 2nd, and 3rd choice for each day.

– Festivarians may submit 1 lottery entry per credit card/checking account, and up to 2 entries per billing address. Festivarians who violate this rule will have all their entries disqualified.

– As with past years, there will be a limit of 2 tickets for each show at the Sheridan Opera House or Fly Me to the Moon Saloon, and 4 tickets for each show at the Palm Theatre or Telluride Conference Center.

Tickets to NightGrass shows are completely separate from Telluride Bluegrass Festival tickets.  All NightGrass tickets are non-refundable. Planet Bluegrass charges no service fees for any tickets.
