I still think it's lame that we have to depend on the Club to have its shit in order when we show up in line to get our free ticket/s, because it didn't show a good precedent today. An email that you could print out that said "Dear Such and Such, this letter entitles you to one free ticket for such and such show on January 36th. Sincerely, 9:30 Club," would be nice. With what we have now, we're totally praying that the Club has its shit together and will have a ticket for you, because, as someone pointed out, there is nothing on the confirmation page that says when you bought your tickets. Other tards could roll up to will-call and try to claim they bought during the certain hour and are entitled to the free ticket. Sure, their name might not be on the list for free tickets, but that doesn't mean they can't raise a fuss.
And what if the show sells out? Will the Club keep the allotted free tickets aside for those who deserve them? Other than a late 90s Detroit rave, this is one of the sketchiest endeavors I've ever participated in. Would be nice if both tickets.com (which I'll not work with again) and the Club had their shit together next time.
I'm reserving my "Thanks, Seth," for when I get that free ticket in my hand in December.
