Tickets officially go on sale this Saturday, and the first camper has already been spotted at the ticket office. Oren Chase says the live experience is about more than the music, "Besides the music it's all about the whole experience. making eye contact, nobody in front of you, nobody walking in front of you...it's just a big difference in being way back...and you have to do stuff like this once in a while if you want to get some premium seats."
