OFFICIAL Virgin Mobile FREEFEST 2009 Q/A - Hype Thread! REVISED

[gaaaaaaaaah]

Well, the ticketmaster page says tickets will be shipped "at a later date."  I thought someone posted in this thread that they'd be shipped closer to the event to avoid scalping.

Either way, I just don't understand the rush in wanting them mailed in three days.  As long as they get to me before the 30th, I couldn't care less how long it takes.  I guess if you need to get the ticket sent to someone else ASAP, I can understand, but I can't think of any other situations where it's that necessary.

Yeah, I'm buying two tickets to give 1 ticket to my friend.

I just called a lady at the local service @ ticketmaster, and said that the tickets will be sent to me in 3 days, so problem solved!

I hope that's the case for you, but that's not normally how it works.  Normally the fast shipping choice is just the method they use once they get around to mailing them.  It's not a guarantee that they'll ship them immediately.   They may hold the tickets for a month, but when they do get around to shipping them, they'd use 3-day delivery.

I hope it is the case for me, otherwise it's badddd.

So, any bets as to how quickly these tickets will be gone tomorrow morning?

I'm thinking they'll easily be gone in an hour.  More likely, they'll be gone quicker.

by a couple of days

and the tension mounts.


is it me (on a side note) or why hasn't the mbv show sold out yet?

[betao]

dont know man, its on the front page of TM, so they're trying to sell it out.

The National never sells out shows that quickly.  Tickets will still be available for that show up until a week before the show probably.  This has been the case for all major acts that have played there.

so has anyone tried scoring tix for v-fest today? i cant get them, i'm already getting "no tix available" page.

[andyrichter]

holy crap, SOLD OUT!!   

[betao]

jesus. wasnt expecting it to go THAT fast.

[walkonby]

three minutes and gone.  sold out at 1003

i think it is safe to say, only scalpers got them.  two ticket limit, for as large as merriweather is for a ga show and three minutes?

[hutch]

i got two  (SWEET!) but i got confused and did the will call...shit..

can i still get them at the 930 club or does that mean only at the merriweather?? that could be terrible

[britton]

wtf?
