  Nah, they probably will bring every bit of food with them. /Gut'd

  What?!? Booked solid?!?! That must be like 30 hotel rooms.

  Well, I suppose there is always the unplanned toilet paper event for when nachos give you the shits.

  Are you seriously naive enough to think this town will not be majorly benefiting financially from this concert coming in to town???? You can't be fucking serious.

  Tickets are around $230 right now
  
  Trying to decide if I want to do that

  I would wait prices will fall as the concert nears. Mumford is also rumored to be a headliner at Bonnaroo this summer. It's in TN and will have 80+ bands over four days. Last years headliners were Radiohead, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Phish. For all four days camping included its only around 300 after fees and if you buy tickets when they first go on sale they are around 240.
  
  This years rumored headliners are Paul McCartney, Mumford, and Tom Petty. Bjork and Wu Tang are also rumored along with the lumineers, of monsters and men, and Edward sharpe.

  The camping festival is not my scene, but I bet Mumford will be a good show. Their music is outstanding.

  I would guess winning a Grammy this year slides the prices up a bit.

  I'd wait. Tickets are spiked high right now bc of the Grammy award. Just my opinion though.

  They usually don't come down leading up to the show..unless it's a show that no one wants to go to haha
  
  Mumford, who just won a grammy, are playing what? 6 shows? this year in the US...$255 a piece is probably (hopefully?) going to be a steal.
• september63

  

  Pull the trigger then. I'm just saying they will come down between now AND the show date.
• sportchampps

  Best time to buy will be about a week before the event. They will end up playing about 10-15 dates this year in the US. I would be willing to bet if you wait you will be able to get tickets in the 150-175$ about a week ahead of time. I went to their show in Columbus last year. It was the same type of deal but only 1 night with about 8 bands playing. It was the second fastest sold out concert in Columbus behind only Coldplay. It sold out so fast they actually moved the concert from a stage to a parking lot that had twice the compacity. When tickets first sold out people were asking 200$ I waited til the week before and paid 75$. Also if that weekend ends up being extremely hot or rainy people will be looking to unload their tickets just to avoid the elements.

  I'm guessing this festival won't be a strain on the Troy water system.
