Anyway, because the economy sucks and festival tickets are generally pricey they are instituting a lay away plan of sorts, according to NME. You can divvy the price up into three easy parents of $X.99!

Of course, because this years bill is generally free of jam bands this might be the first Langerado aimed at actual poor people instead of white, suburban, upper-middle class neo-hippies who just like to pretend to look poor.
