SF Welcomes Outside Lands
Posted Tuesday, March 25, 2008, 10:02 AM by Lonely Planet
Austin has South by Southwest. Tennessee has Bonnaroo. Now San Francisco gets a piece of the action with the Outside Lands Music & Arts Festival, which will take place in Golden Gate Park, August 22-24, 2008.
Sure to give the old guard festivals a run for their money, Outside Lands has confirmed their initial lineup, and it's stellar: Radiohead, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Jack Johnson, Beck and Wilco, among others. And there are more to come - they're gearing up for over sixty acts on five stages over the three days.
Tickets go on sale this Sunday, March 30, at 10am Pacific time, so set your alarm clock! You'll also need to set aside a good chunk of change, since this three-day party in the park ain't cheap - tickets for the whole shebang will run you $225.50 plus charges. (One-day tickets are pending availability, meaning the fest folks are seeing how much they rake in with the three-day-ticket sales before they release any single-day ones.)

What the hell? I bought 3 day passes a month ago and the only option for shipping was FedEx for $18.50 per ticket, and I LIVE in San Francisco.
Now that they've started selling single day passes, you can get tickets shipped for FREE. Why the discrepancy?
Nice way to start up a festival, guys. I wish I hadn't bought my tickets already... my as hurts.
As it's a first-time fest, there's sure to be some growing pains. But I hear ya on the painful price gouge - that's why I held out for those single-day tickets.
Well, there's always Craigslist if you want to rid yourself of the three-day pass...
