Bumbershoot?

[Champagne Supernova]

Hello all. I don't post here very often but I figured this is the best place to ask.

Is Bumbershoot worth it?

DH and I are planning on going with a couple of friends and one of them is dying to see Macklemore.

Now DH is wondering if the passes will even guarantee entrance to wherever venue he's going to be performing in and now I'm all paranoid.

So if you've been, please share your story.

Thanks!

Hey you We haven't gone in YEARS. From what I remember, you aren't guaranteed entrance to whatever venue for whatever performer, you just have to go line up and for the big headliners, that can mean lining up a few hours in advance. I recall they usually use Memorial Stadium. We never bothered with the huge headliners so I don't know more than that.

I like food. That is all

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey!

I mean, Macklemore is fine but I refuse to stand in line.

Do you need passes to get to the food? That's all I want, LOL.

Well, you need passes to get in through the gates unfortunately to the grounds, but nothing after that! I think there are enough smaller fairs with food though if that's your only concern (which, let's be honest, probably is at least 85% of yours).

I think they maybe do a pre-line up and then you can get wrist bands for the headliners? I seriously don't recall though.

I haven't gone the last couple years, but I've gone several other years. You do have to line up on advance to see the big acts, which were at the Key Arena. I went when Death Cab was one of the headliners and we stood in line for a couple hours. Then waited longer once in there. It was a PITA. Not gonna lie. I'm sure it'll be as bad, if not worse with Macklemore. But... Overall, I love Bumbershoot. I've always had a great time.

I just looked into tickets... Are they really only doing the 3 day passes?! That sucks!!

Looks like it right now. I was wondering about this.

Hmmmm...I'm already leaning towards skipping it. I mean, the price of the 3-day passes is already steep to me.
