The New York Post today reports that tickets for this weekend’s Festival—make that for tomorrow’s Festival!—are in hot demand, and even well-known actors are being told to line up with everybody else. Shudder! Some individuals are trying the desperate measure of “sliding ticket requests under the door” of David Remnick’s apartment. Festival stalking! Now that’s a new one. (There’s also some scurrilous blind dishing about festival attractions participating in events under the influence. My attorneys have informed me that further comment on this subject is inadvisable.)

In a classic case of burying the lede, the Post lets four whole paragraphs go by before letting readers know that “Ten percent of all tickets have been held back for sale at 3 p.m. tomorrow [this means Friday], only at festival headquarters at 125 W. 18 St.” Indeed. There will also be a small number of tickets available before each event at the respective venue. If you’ve been shut out, we urge you to keep trying—you never know what opportunity will suddenly present itself!

Good luck to all ticket-seekers, and if you see or hear anything during the weekend that you think is worthy of comment here, we urge you to send it on to us. —Martin Schneider
