As you are likely aware, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street band are the headliners on Sunday of this two day festival. That made it extraordinarily difficult to get tickets this year.
I had 3 laptops engaged and couldn't get tickets. My initial mistake was that I thought the pages would refresh automatically so I did nothing for about the first two minutes after the sale started. After that, constant refreshing of pages got me nowhere. I do know people that got tickets 30 minutes, 45 minutes, even an hour after the sale started. So if you were persistent and managed the poor web site performance properly, it may have paid off for you.
Needless to say, the prices on the secondary market are crazy. I'm actually seeing Springsteen in Philly a few weeks before the festival so at this point, I'm content to sit it out, although I'll still go if face value tickets fall in my lap at some point.
