Recap: Summerfest opening day
Summerfest is a hot ticket—hot like a potato that’s been slow-cooked in the deepest, darkest depths of hell. As I walked a mile from my car to the Summerfest grounds—making a trek Thursday to the festival’s opening day, like the good Milwaukeean I am—I was approached by approximately 57 people who wanted to sell me tickets. Summerfest is so big, people buy tickets just to sell them at face value three blocks from the gate.
