Asheville Civic Center - 7,654
Thomas Wolfe Auditorium - 2,431
The Orange Peel - 1050
Diana Wortham Theater - 500
Asheville Music Hall - 360(?)
I can't find the exact capacity for the AMH.
So around 12k ticket sales?

Wow, the smaller venues seem...small.
Been to shows in Asheville at most of these places but this is my first Moogfest. I know we're speculating on the ticket allotment, and sales are up in the air, but how insane have lines been in years past? I guess I'm asking two things:
1) How early do I need to line up if I think a show is super in-demand? This is no big deal unless there are conflicts, which I'm sure I'll be dealing with...
2) Do people flow in pretty freely, or are we dealing with massive hassles to get in? I'm envisioning one line at a given venue and a basic wristband check?

1) The only show I was hitting up last year that I figured would be in super demand was Flying Lotus at the TWA. I showed up during The Field (the artist before FlyLo) and got in without a problem.
2) It depends on the venue. If I remember right, you only had one check for the TWA and ACC since they are in the same building. This let you go back and forth between the two pretty easily. As far as the OP and AMH, it was more of your standard wristband scan and a quick pat down that you associate with most club shows.

If you want in a high demand show for sure, go to the show before it. When we left Flying Lotus,
they were not letting anyone in. It was a mad house in there.

I can't find anything but last year's schedule as far as reference... for the late night, does ACC or TWA run shows after respective headliners, or has it been pretty much whatever venue runs whatever time slot?
Beyond that, how have headliner vs. subheadliner issues generally worked out on individual days? Like, say second from the top is a late night act up against a smaller late night act, with the third from the top more likely be opposed to 1st billed act or leading up to on the same stage? Or,again, is it pretty much whatever?
The wait for a schedule (not to mention more adds this Monday) is tearing me to pieces!

That's the problem with schedule prediction for Moogfest. You only really have two years to work with, and it's difficult to extract a pattern out of such a small amount of data. When comparing it to last year, things kind of fall apart because top acts (Chromeo, Flaming Lips, Passion Pit) played at the Animoog last year and that is gone now, so any predictions about where/when that level of act will play now is a guess.
