Internets consensus seems to be "meh" on the headliners but pretty stoked on the rest of the lineup. Might make getting tickets easier?

Anyone have experience buying camping passes second-hand? Is it a pain in the rear end or are they often swapped around in the weeks before the festival?

They're supposedly linked to the wristband they were bought with, so I'll presumably have to find a seller who's willing to swap wristbands with me as well. No one in our group was able to get through to get them today, though we all have wristbands already from the pre-sale.

My friends and I had a very tough time finding second-hand wristbands last year for week 1. Everything was easily double face value, but week 2 tickets were cheaper and easier to find.

It was a weak year. There whole blocks of downtime and poo poo didn't pickup till after 5pm.
My highlights were very different from yours, but I have to agree with this statement.

The scheduling was just weird, I felt like there were far more serious conflicts than I remember in the past and more down-time blocks as well.

There were odd scheduling/stage choices too. I think Ratatat closing Sahara on Saturday was a bad idea, as they aren't as high-energy as people generally look for in that slot/tent, and the crowd's reaction reflected this. (Them being 20 minutes late didn't help either.)

Odesza was absurdly overcrowded in Gobi. Why were Nero/Terje/FlyLo/Porter all at the same time? etc.

I had a great time with a good group of friends regardless, but yeah.
