San Francisco's Stern Grove festival makes major change to its ticketing system
Briefly

Stern Grove, a beloved outdoor concert series in San Francisco, is moving away from its chaotic ticketing scramble to a more manageable lottery system. This change comes after years of stress for fans racing to claim free concert passes online. Attendees can now enter the lottery six weeks prior to each show, with notifications sent out by email to winners. For added convenience, tickets will be available at physical box offices and through volunteer opportunities, ensuring a wider audience can enjoy performances from major artists scheduled in the upcoming summer concerts.
