Tickets for two day passes will go on-sale next Saturday, May 5, at 10am via Ticketmaster and will cost $175 for general admission. If you want the VIP treatment, be sure to shell out $450 out of your designer brand wallet. Single day tickets, if available, will go on-sale Saturday, May 19 for $97.50 GA and $250 VIP. You can avoid service charges by purchasing tickets at your local Macy's, Record and Tape Traders, and (we're straight out assuming this one) the 9:30 Club box office.

So, TUL's take you ask? I have to admit, when Velvet Revolver was leaked onto the lineup a few weeks ago, I was dubious as to whether the rest of the lineup would suffer the same fate. As of this morning, however, Seth Hurwitz and Co. have reaffirmed my faith in this festival and made it visibly clearly that they know what they're doing. I mean, look at Day One alone. I really didn't think half those acts would perform in Baltimore since they were already booked for Lolla and/or recently preformed in the area (LCD, Peter Bjorn, TVOTR, etc). It's going to be a tough decision, but since we last left you, Lolla's edge seems to be fading fast once the V Fest lineup was revealed this morning. Sorry, Jeremy.
