    Saturday GA (Pearl Jam) has sold out! All levels!
    Wow!  What is the estimated crowd size for this festival? 30k?
    When I looked this fest up it said 90,000!!!  That's exactly why my immediate reaction was "Hard NO despite truly amazing lineup".  I'm short, and I know how Coachella was when it went from 80k to 100k.  90k is way too many people for me.

    But great lineup, and I hope everyone who goes has a blast!
    Is that the average for each night, or the total for the entire weekend?
    Total for weekend. Louder than Life last year had 40k per day. Pretty sure tge only festivals that can touch 90k per day in US is Lollapalooza and Coachella. Scooped up a VIP for Saturday Pearl Jam, also have VIP for Louder than Life. Louisville peeps are very lucky to get such great festivals back to vack weekends. Heres to beautiful weather

    30-40K at a festival is still a bit much for me. Especially now, but would have been a couple of years ago, too.

    Just to clarify, when I googled "Bourbon and Beyond festival capacity" I got 90k. The site wasn't the promoter's official site so I have no idea of the accuracy of that, but in the business "capacity" means max daily attendance, i.e. "max allowed on any given day"; and "attendance" means # of people attending the whole event, so across the days.  So at least for the site I was on, they said capacity for Bourbon & Beyond was 90k in 2019, and it is possible they meant attendance, but for now I assume it's 90k max for daily attendance.

    Jumped on the 4-day Mint VIP a week ago before price increases. Normally not pumped for festivals, but this is a stellar lineup, for my tastes.

    The crossover possibilities are incredibly high for friends of PJ, Isbell/Truckers, Mike Campbell/Chris Stapleton, etc.

    Also, they have bourbon.

    Looking forward to seeing some PJ fanatics there in Louisville.

    For everyone going to this on Saturday (PJ day), if you'll be there early, do NOT miss Reignwolf.  Just 2 guys, who are astounding in their blues/rock/driving music. SO worth seeing if you can.

    Does anyone know if there are multiple VIP passes for this show?  I see Mint VIP and VIP on sale are they the same or different?

    I am very likely to have 2 tickets for sale to this show, I bought the Sat GA for the lowest amount $99 and fees seeing as the wife and me had no options but now that we are shifting gears and hopefully going to Ottawa instead (longer weekend and almost the same drive for us from PA). They are supposed to mail these GA tickets soon but haven't see anything yet. If someone wants the pair, let me know, otherwise, I'll probably post on stubhub etc. I wish they were here already, they said around beg of August so I hope to get email soon. I don't have Ottawa yet but checking daily, no new ticket drops since the last one i missed. and not much resale, I'm hoping that starts to kick up.....rock on. Let hope Ed's voice is back in action for these dates, I guess they are playing tonight...hope it goes well.

    I'm looking forward to this festival as a whole - the lineup is amazing; I've got a 4-day GA with two others who have never seen Pearl Jam. We'll probably not be too concerned with getting in close. 
    For those that have been to these festival grounds before - any tips re: comfort, drinks/food, vendors, etc?
