Pictures: Virgin Mobile FreeFest 2011 hits and misseshttp://www.baltimoresun.com/entertainment/music/midnight-sun-blog/bs-ae-virgin-fest-hits-misses-pg,0,1651123.photogalleryfrom the write-up on this first page:
"The free tickets, a feature since 2009, are what set FreeFest apart from virtually every other major music festival. Branson said the plan is to keep the festival free for some years going forward. "No promises, but every year we do what we can to keep it free," he said."
free is obviously awesome, but i think it would make more sense to charge a little something - like $20. it would discourage people from hoarding tickets if they're unsure they want to go. the tickets are worth at least $80-100, so $20 would still be a huge gift and a the best value in the entire summer festival circuit.
