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

[gaaaaaaaaah]

Needing more than two, I used my wife's account to get a second pair, and chose mail for her order (she's rarely in DC). I was thinking it was $5 per order, but iwas actually $5 per ticket.

So, did anyone order the tickets to be mailed, and get them without being charged at all?

Just curious if this glitch went the other way too.

Ah, well, I had read somewhere yesterday that it would be $5 per ticket, so I was prepared for that.

so does anyone have any idea how many tix were used for the presale? guess i have to try regular onsale this saturday.

[StoneTheCrow]

I didn't get to participate this morning so I hope I won't have any problems Saturday morning.  Cannot fathom that the presale had more than 20% of the total tix but then again I'm trying to be optimistic.

Glad things went well for everybody that got in on this.  Sounds like things went mostly without a hitch so thanks are due to the folks who put this together.

Just noticed that there are tickets on eBay already.  No surprise there.

My friend and I both got through half an hour ago.  We each ordered 2 will call tickets and there was no charge.  They didn't even ask for a credit card, just basic info and we got order confirmation email.

I was able to get 2 will call tickets as well --- they did not take my credit card info -- will this be a problem? Everything I read says that the credit card used will be needed at will call...... anyone know?

[betao]

yay for scalpers.

[gaaaaaaaaah]

Come on, did anyone not expect to see these tickets scalped for $50+?

Weezer is having their pre-sale tomorrow for tix for those on their mailing list.

I was under the impression that all tickets were up for grabs today, and Saturday was just whatever was leftover.

That's why I made a big push today instad of waiting.

But I'm probably totally wrong, right?

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

Yes, but then you'd have to get email from Weezer. That would suck.

Yeah, they have to give the general public a crack at most of the tickets. As posted earlier, this morning's allocation was most likely really small.

I think today was a pretty small allotment. 

However, I am curious as to how quickly this thing will sell out.  Theoretically, people who only like one band at this thing could still want to "buy" tickets.  So you could have a whole bunch of fanbases wanting tickets to this thing.
