**Official Farm Aid 2015 Thread**

[BLKSBBTHICA]

Show is on Saturday September 19th and obviously all the usual suspects are playing. Figured I'd start this thread so we can post any rumors about other artists and where it will be held this year and take it from there.

[sdaltons]

It sure would be nice to make travel plans for this if it's somewhere I can go. This has to be the latest they've ever announced the location.

[BLKSBBTHICA]

On the farm aid facebook they said the announcement of the location will be posted this tuesday morning the 28th. Hopefully it will leak in the days leading up to it.

[UrsadonDMB]

Looks like the leak came from Dave's bus driver. See you in Chicago!

[lilant420]

Cool. Got season tickets there.

[UrsadonDMB]

With this being the 30th anniversary, I can't wait to see the lineup.

[UrsadonDMB]

Farm Aid is coming to Chicago. The annual event, which is celebrating its 30th anniversary, will be held on September 19th at FirstMerit Bank Pavilion at Northerly Island near downtown Chicago. In addition to board members Willie Nelson, Neil Young, John Mellencamp and Dave Matthews, the show will feature Jack Johnson, Imagine Dragons, Kacey Musgraves, Old Crow Medicine Show, Mavis Staples, Holly Williams, Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real, Insects vs. Robots and Blackwood Quartet.
Tickets on sale Monday August 3rd

tempting, but nah

[MidwestGirl]

Not a fan of Northerly Island, but it's only 15 minutes from my house. I'm in.

Last Farm Aid I went to was 2010. I don't remember, does WH offer a presale too or is it just Farm Aid with the $50 early charge? Last time, I became a Farm Aid "fan club" member and got the presale, but I'm not seeing the option for that this year, just says it's a $50 presale fee.

Also, at NI last year we had floor seats. Anyone sit in the grandstand? Hows the view?

[flutterby]

NM, just saw on Warehouse there is an instant ticketing presale for the top 2 price tiers.

[tonyma15]

What is the ticket situation like?

Looks like there is some sort of presale on 7/29 and public sale on 8/3. What is the difference?

[lilant420]

$400 - $2,000 a ticket for VIP in the first 10 rows... lmao

[UrsadonDMB]

Big money big money. You will find me drunk as a baboon on the lawn.

I know right!

Yes they will. We are all sheep. I'm not ashamed to admit, if I wasn't going to Europe I'd probably do it too.

[smb41]

The Warehouse has obtained a special limited consignment of reserved seats in the top two price levels to make available on the Warehouse Instant Ticketing page starting at 3PM EDT on Wednesday, July 29th. The Warehouse will also offer lawn tickets.

How does this work? Is there a request process like the tours, or is it just first come first serve?

[4colorkyle]

So warehouse has presage two hours after farm aid presale. Still think I'm gonna do warehouse to hopefully get DMB centric ticket art. Does anyone know how that works? Should I just do farm aid? What's best sections for pavilion at Northerly Island?

[AllifromOhio]

Curious myself. Will be doing the WH sale but I don't know how live ticketing works with them.

They mix in "cheap tix" up close too, simp liar to how wh runs things now

Just as it does for IT

Prob for both you guys is that it's a tm style pain in the ass to get tix usually as its first come first served and they typically don't tell you the location, just price level

[BigEyed_Fish54]

Looks like the two available tiers are $189.50 and $149.50. I dont know if I can justify paying that for 7-8 D & T songs. Granted it is a solid lineup otherwise. Neil sounds pretty brutal these days though.

[BlueWater13]

farm aid presale was a joke. hit refresh right at noon, only thing available for 2 tickets was lawn. not going to pay the extra $50 through farm aid for lawn, will get them elsewhere

[BlueWater13]

and for some reason, the service fees are different based on the level of tickets you buy.

[TimHonks]

Pulled tickets, should be a fun day.

[MidwestGirl]

Pulled 314 row A1 - what the hell is A1??

Still pulling lots of tickets

[MidwestGirl]

Anyone know where the seat numbers start?

[4colorkyle]

should I go through farm aid or warehouse???

[dmbfan1027]

Warehouse will probably be cheaper since Farm Aid tacks on an extra $50 processing fee to every order.

[MidwestGirl]

We were pulling a ton of tickets, but nothing now.


With the WH being a live sale will they tell you the sections or just the price level?
