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

So are they randomly charging some people? Bizarre.

I wasn't charged anything for will call.  I do want to contribute to the charity though.

of course there's always a fee.  got my tix anyway. 

I went will call as well and there was a $5 processing fee involved, which I wont lose sleep over just wish I knew it was coming as I would have added the donation up front instead of later.

yea, i'm not gonna lose sleep over it either.  but i still find it odd that there were people who chose will call and were charged $5 for it and those who weren't charged.  oh wait a second, it's TICKETMASTER.

Will call option didn't say anything about a specific pickup date window.  I foresee problems if they don't mention that up front.

It's mentioned in the info box for the event...

Will Call orders may be picked up at MPP or 9:30 Club box offices, but not tickets without a pre-existing order. Will Call pickup dates are Fri 8/21 10am - Fri 8/28 9pm. Unclaimed will call will be released to the general public after 8/28! A credit card is required to order tickets, even if you choose the no charge Will Call option.

It's free if you just do will call. It was the 5th or 6th option down.

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

I can vouch for that. I got charged when I ordered, went back and got two for Joe (making up a phone number) and wasn't charged.

They did state it up front.  I saw it on this board, and on the ticketmaster page.

Weird...I got two will call, and it cost me $5. Based on the email, it appears I chose the right things, but still got charged.


Hey, does anybody know Joe's address and phone  number? He asked me to get tickets for him ,but ticketmaster needs that info. PM me. Thanks

Uhh... Joe asked me to get him tickets, too.

I'm 100% positive I chose will call.  It cost nothing but when I got to the confirmation page, there was a $5 processing fee.

You're wrong, and right.

We'll have to create a forum hangout area at 932 or something, so people can drop by through out the day

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

The $5 charges must have been for the charity contribution $5 per ticket.  They had so many options must have been a little confusing.

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

Not true. As stingy a bastard as I am, I would have never selected charity, not even by accident.

Although I'd be fine if ticketmaster took the mistake money and gave it to charity.

Honestly Im fine with 5$ for 2 tickets. Or even 5$ each.
