San Francisco's Stern Grove Festival has introduced a lottery system for ticket distribution to combat overcrowding and scalping, but this has not solved the issue. Scalpers have found ways to sell tickets on platforms like Facebook and Craigslist, with prices ranging from $10 to $50. Specific ticket prices vary widely depending on the artist. Festival organizers emphasize their commitment to providing free access to live music and oppose the resale of tickets.
In a Reddit post, a person reported 15 scalpers selling tickets for a show with prices ranging from $40 to $100.
Mission Local found tickets for every Stern Grove show for sale on Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist, going for prices between $10 and $50.
Tickets for major acts like Orville Peck were being resold at $50, while others like Channel Tres ranged from $15 to $25.
Molly Fremgen stated, 'Stern Grove Festival is...a free concert series dedicated to providing access to live music for everyone.'
