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

[Seth Hurwitz]

Seth,

Is there any word on the Ticketmaster $5 'processing fee' refunds?  Nothing has been credited to my card yet.  I would rather give my $5 to charity than to Abe Pollin's bank account.

are you sure you were charged in the first place after all was said & done?

Wow is right.

Julian is like some psychotic sheepherder.

For Seth's and other club affiliates' sake, I'll keep the detailed elaboration on that thought to myself.

In the meantime, I'm sure that about everyone here has full trust in Seth. It's those slimey Ticketbastards and the principle of the thing that Driveway is concerned about.

I'm just saying the man gave you a "free" festival. It's not really my thing, but whatever, some of you folks seem to like it. I would think you all could show some appreciation by either (a) not bitching about $5, or (b) bitching to ticketmaster's customer service number, not Seth who has NO CONTROL over ticketmaster.

I guess if ticketmaster had a messageboard so the fat and lazy could misguidedly fire missives from the comfort of their couch, dear Seth wouldn't endure such indignities.

[Got Haggis?]

I was charged $5 for the free option. Last time I looked it hadn't ben refunded yet. I have no issues at all if that $5 goes to charity. However if it goes to ticketmaster, I would like my money back.

DON'T WE ALL? (don't we all?)

[Julian, Alleged Computer F**kface]

Also, Sweets, you keep coming up as a suggested add on facebook. Idk how that works exactly, but it brings a smile to my heart everytime.

[sweetcell]

heh, add away if you feel like it... dunno how wide you like to cast your social networking net.  i assume i'm suggested because we have common friends.  i'm not particularly smitten with FB but i do post an occasional thought, link or a pic.  plenty of wedding pix linked from my page (might need to hit "view older links" at this point), so you can decide for yourself what the JA score of the non-Wang dress was.

[Julian, Alleged Computer F**kface]

Actually we have zero shared friends.

I have no idea how we're "recommended" but I love you all the same. Still not adding you, because I only have like 20 people and want to keep it that way, but much love.

Exactly.  $5 isn't going to break my back.  However, I would think that if ticketmaster is not being honest, the concert organizers might want to know about it... I have trust in Seth and all things IMP. 

I was indeed charged by ticketmaster and I'm sure I'm not alone.  It is on my credit card statement.

I think no-one is bitching about the $5. I think it's due to the fact that the officials said that the festival was going to be free. So it's matter of being betrayed, no matter how much the value, either if it were 0.01 or a million dollars. They just don't to give the five dollars to ticketmaster, because they really have no affiliations with the festival itself, and would be satisfied if the money went to charity instead of a ticket company. But didn't ticketmaster say that it was a glitch in the system? If it was meant to be free, then they should give you the money, or lawsuits would be flinging left and right.

The people who chose to do will call gets to get the tickets free. The people who chose the free option online without the donation get the tickets free. The rest pay a 5 dollar donation, if thats what you guys are talking about.

Whatever, I'm confused.!

[Shadrach]

It's our understanding that Ticketmaster has gone through the orders that were mistakenly charged and refunded their money. The situation should be rectified at this time. If you do not see the credit to your card please feel free to call Ticketmaster at (800) 551-7328 to inquire about the status of your refund. Or if you would rather send an e-mail to human@930.com with your order number and contact information we will look into it for you.

Lurker for awhile... first post

I hope it hasn't been said elsewhere, but is there any speculation about what the schedule will be now that we know who is on what stage?
