Welcome to the new forum
I have no idea if I got tix or not. The instruction link provided by TFlyAmy did not work last night or this morning and she never addressed it, as far as I know. From what I read here, one just has to go to the page and press "Like". If so, I might have tix. If not, no.It's a shame that clear, coherent instructions were unavailable, especially with someone from the middleman monitoring the board. But that's the way of ticketfly, apparently.This whole process could be so much easier for all concerned if there were a simple lottery - let people apply over a three-day period, say, and select 20K entries or whatever the number is. Do the pre-sale the same way a week before. It avoids the short, sudden, apparently overwhelming load on communications lines and on servers, and whatever the result, everyone knows they had a fair shot and nobody would have any (rational) reason to complain. I guess the folks at ticketfly are gluttons for much-deserved punishment.

I guess the folks at ticketfly are gluttons for much-deserved punishment.The instructions were posted, multiple times, on both the Virgin fb page and by posters in this very thread. If you couldn't figure out how to do it when thousands upon thousands could, then that's on you. While TFly has had issues, it was ultimately up to Virgin Mobile on how the whole process was conducted, so if you have issues with that, take it up with them.
According to the Twitter page @VirginFestival ALL tickets were in carts within 60 seconds.Wow.Say what you will about TicketFly but that's just supply and demand. Chill out peeps. It's passed, more will be released, or pay 50$, or volunteer.
I find it hard to believe that anyone really thought just "liking" the FB page got you tickets. But regardless, there is a history of tix being released later on...

wait, i thought that the "bang up job" comment was sarcastic?
This is a very interesting theory...Leave it to the boardies to be so smart!We'll look into it. Unfortunately it's a Facebook issue.Quote from: 10sweets on July 15, 2011, 10:38:21 amQuote from: beetsnotbeats on July 15, 2011, 10:29:24 amOkay, it turned out that FB users who had the secure browsing box checked in their settings could not get through. I unchecked it and got through immediately, but to no avail anyway. Why didn't TF check for this?I was able to get thought after deselecting https from my settings. To bad it was too late.

So sick of everything being dependent or through FB. And if it is seriously test the f out of it. Just sell tickets the normal way. Post a link on 930 club ticket / concert page / TF and FB if you must and be done with it. All people still wouldn't get tickets through a regular link but geez, at least they wouldn't be mucking around trying to figure out how to even get the page to work.
