If you tried out in last week's ACL Fest presale ticket raffle, your odds of "winning" a pair of bargain $50 passes are considerably worse than we initially anticipated. According to one of our B-School buddies over at UT, the head of Capital Sports & Entertainment reportedly announced during a lecture yesterday that an astounding 90,000 people had entered the contest.
No headliners have been announced for the fall festival, but the good folks at Austin360 have scoured Myspace pages--much like we did for this year's SXSW--and confirmed a few bands.
If you're one of the lucky chosen ones, you'll be finding out at some point today. For everyone else, normal tickets go on sale next Tuesday, April 17th, at 7am.

Maybe this is because everyone registered all 6 of their email addresses, and maybe their friends and family's addresses too?
I mean, not that I did that or anything.
I heard they're aiming for Dylan.
Alas, the stars were not aligned for me.
stars weren't aligned for me, my dad, my boyfriend, my brother, my best friend, either.
effff.
awesome. three years in a row I've managed to avoid being included in the early bird sale. first year due to a death in the family, second due to their massive screw up, and now because some brooklynite troll logged eighteen email addresses. faaaaaaaaantastic.
I should just list it as an interest on my resume.
Interests: music, movies, rock climbing, having to pay top dollar for ACL tickets.
the early bird special next week says it's going to be a buck a band? So they're jumping from $50 to $130?
I just registered 1 email address, and I got in. Maybe it's because i didn't fuck with karma like kerissa or heyzeus.
Doesn't matter - i'm just going to sell them for $125 each. Oh - that price requires proof of austin residency. Fuck the tourists, they can pay triple.
ClemClam, and you're lecturing people on karma? Bully for you!
yeah - as usual. no winning. but if you'd like to have fun with friends - send them this link:
www.aclfestival.com/tickets/winner.aspx
or attempt to guess the winning addresses and see what happens. no luck here though...
Bjork will headline.
i'm hoping the Police make an appearance. i've always felt Sting would be a good fit at ACL, but the Police would work for me.
they've got to get Bruce Springsteen eventually.
who else.. Tracy Chapman maybe, Tom Petty oh sh*te that already happened, maybe Travis and Fountains of Wayne.
well those are just hopes than rumors or anything just to be clear
I registered once and didn't get in. My wife registed once and she did. SCORE!
I also got earlybird tix to Lolla. I just wanted to brag.
:(
I never win nothing.
But this is good seeing as how the one year I went I was miserable the whole time in the scorching scorching heat.
1 for 3 ain't too bad. girlfriend best be making me a happy man tonite! and tomorrow...and the next day...and the months to come.
PLEASE no fall out boy.
have fun dying in the sun. :(
