Is this worth going to? I've always thought about attending one.

Yes! I went to the one in Kansas City 2-3 years ago. It was in a football stadium vs an amphitheatre. I think it kicks off around 11am with lesser known artists and ends with Willie Nelson closing it out. The only downside is they play short sets but it's good exposure to different artists.

And I'm coming in from Florida for this one. Hotel and plane booked!

Agreed. Worth going.

I was at SPAC last year and it was great. Dave and Tim kicked ass. Neil is one crusty dude though. Johnny Cougar was very good. And how do you not love a chance to see Willie.

WH presale starts this Saturday at 10am. I wonder if the seats offered will be good or wait until LN drops?

[elmachobaracho]

wonder if we see Jack collaborate with D&T - that'd be unique to say the least, but probably a lot less likely than seeing him play with Neil given their work together on Neil's latest covers album. Jack White's show from chicago last night was broadcast on the web and he killed it! but I could see this being a more subdued show (like D&T instead of full band)

Is the cost for this more than a regular show?

$49 to $175 is the price range

[socopithy]

From reading the page it seems like the $50 to get to the pre-sale is added towards your ticket cost.

True?

Yes if you do it through Farm Aid.

i got mine last year (SPAC) on the day of the LN sale. i was refreshing the page on my desktop and mobile app on my phone. the mobile app got in first and I got a pair in the 5th row center balcony (15F). by the time the website had them for sale only lawns were available. you gotta be quick.

I'm planning to go! Gotta crunch some numbers, trying to recover from the summer tour. I love the Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill area.

Used to live in Syracuse and got to go to SPAC last year, recently relocated to Raleigh, so excited to hear this news

[TwoSteppin4Life]

Excited to finally get the chance to attend FarmAid, and in my hometown nonetheless!

[BruceW]

ugh if it had just been the week after, I'd be there....

Has anyone found anything more specific regarding prices? I've only seen $49 to $175 repeated on several sites, but LiveNation makes it sound like it is $49 or $175.

I guess I'll know in about an hour during the first pre-sale. Previous attendees is it really $50 on the lawn everything else is $175 type pricing? After fees tickets jump to $64 and $200

If I'm not mistaken, last year at SPAC the lower ticket prices were in the lawn and prices in the reserved seating were priced based on how close your section was to the stage with the highest priced tickets being in the front sections.

Price structure was as follows for the farm aid presale:

$49 lawn
$65 open air seat - Sec 8
$75 open air seat - sec 6
$115 open air seat - sec 6
$150 covered seat - sec 8
$175 covered seat - sec 1
$175 all ages - I'm guessing pit?

I think that's right! Post if you find something different!

I'm wondering if WH is going to offer these different options or if you will just get stuck with best available if you select pavilion? I want to have a seat but I don't want to come off $175, either.

Jealous of all you Farmaid goers. Have a great time!

[JimiThing1234]

i'm going! pretty excited

[hkhund07]

for those of us who can't attend in person here is the broadcast info from farmaid.org website - looks like a live broadcast on AXS TV from 7 PM til 11:30 PM:
TV

If you can't join us in Raleigh, celebrate with us at home by watching the concert live! Starting at 7pm EDT/4pm PDT, tune into AXS TV to watch the show live in HD.

Webcast

We'll also be streaming the concert live in HD here on farmaid.org starting at 7pm EDT with our webcast, "Farm Aid 2014 Presented by Amy’s Kitchen."
SiriusXM

And you can start listening live on Willie Nelson's SiriusXM channel, Willie's Roadhouse (56), beginning at noon EDT. SiriusXM's Dallas Wayne will host backstage interviews and behind-the-scenes coverage of the event.

I hope the TV broadcasts the sets in their entirety.. last year they just did a "highlights" webcast. i would prefer a full concert broadcast as they have done in years past.
