Face: Phforecast 90% chance of WHITE CLOUD for Telluride Bluegrass Festival ~ ....+Stu,Hair,Holly. since Gov't Mule playing for our own Mike @Libbey Bowl that night. (Have a great show brother, stoked to read about it afterwards!)

July 4= Menear, Pardini, Bluhm, Goldsmith(s)
(Now i think i need to make an emergency road-trip given might be my last chance to see a couple of my musical heroes.)
for you Festival vets several questions please: 1.Odds of me finding single ticket to buy on scene? 2.On-street legal (free) parking several miles away? 3. Post-encore im starting drive back in dark until im tired along CO-145 between Telluride & Delores. If pull-over at some primitive off-highway spot to catch some sleep in car how likely do you think "How we doing this evening?" LEO chat?
FP: I suspect you're right about lineup possibilities, but find it interesting how we're only days away without an official announcement ... so while I believe you're likely correct in your prediction, I can't help but hold out hope and cross both fingers and toes for something like:
As for your questions: things look like they've changed to a full-on buyer's market, but who knows how it'll evolve or how the single Sunday ticket will fair out in the larger mix of people looking for 4-day passes. There are too many variables for me to offer any reliable insight, but it sure does look flooded with tickets at the moment. Here's the official Telluride festival general discussion page:
I sold my 4-day pass for $250 ($310 was face) a few days ago after deciding to go to Boulder for D&C ... although I still have a single Sunday, but will likely hang out at box office to see if a 4-day shakes loose for $100-$150 to use for today and Sun (and unload my single Sunday ticket). Otherwise, plan is to listen to Rowns from the outside venue (excellent for this) and head out partway to front range immediately afterward.
You won't be able to get your vehicle into the town limits without a county sticker or barricade pass, but you can park for free up in the Mountain Village and ride the gondola down into town. It'll add about 45-60 minutes on each trip to and fro.
I actually camped at a dispersed camping area on NF land known as "Boggy Draw" just outside of Dolores a couple weeks ago after the Dolores River Festival. It's about 10-15 minutes up and out of the center of Dolores. Here's one page (with coords near top):
Closer to Telluride, there's a spot people car camp regularly and never get bothered only about a 1/10 of a mile from the Ophir turn off (before tiny post office building). You can see the little pull-out:

I wouldn't be surprised if Ferg negotiated a deal for Lyons again.

Pull farther off the highway
Pull farther off the highway if you don't want the 3 o'clock knock.
You can legally camp in a national forest (unless posted otherwise, and not in an actual "campground") for 14 days.
no idea about tickets and parking but have fun!

There are several other spots on public lands on route:
