Hey Seth

How can we not have fun?

Great/fun lineup at a great place for free!!

Thanks again Seth!!

As Perry Farrell said "thanks Mr. Horowitz"

Thanks indeed!!!

And for shows, My Bloody Valentine, Aphex Twin, etc

I would just like to say that the way tickets for v-fest were distributed is bs. As a multiple v-fest concert goer, giving the so called pre-sale on a Thursday at 10:00 a.m. was stupid . I am not 13 year old out of school for the summer with mommy and daddy's credit card. I have a job.  I work , and I have paid for my tickets in the past,but know with the way this was done I will say that last years V-fest will be MY last one. Not only that , I will no longer attend anything @ MMP or the 9:30 club.

Thank you Seth.  I'm really looking forward to having a great time!  :)

Lots of working post-13-year-olds with their own credit cards managed to get tickets during the presale. Funny how that works.

I was able to get my tickets on Thursday for the presale no problem what so ever.  It's not Seth's fault a 13 year old beat you out on tickets.

Well  I don't sit on my a**  in front of a computer working for the government.

who says I work for the govt or sit in front of the computer hmmmmm???  ;D

Hey now, at least they offered a presale (2 in fact if you count the weezer one). You cant blame Seth or MPP here - they did what they could. I mean, they're giving us a festival for free and allowing previous goers first dibs at the tickets. They can't pick a presale time that will please everyone. Your blame and hatred shouldn't be towards them, nor should it be the little 13 year olds with daddy's credit card (well, maybe them..); your blame should be towards the people right now on ebay and stubhub. This kind of thing happens, whether it be a free show or not. Seth and co. did what they could to help us before it would get bad, and I applaud them for that.

Well said, Seth. Well Said.

It's not Seth's fault. Do you know how hard it is to control the distribution of FREE tickets in the VMFreeFest?? Unless everyone has to do buy the tickets on a certain date by physically driving to the office, there isn't much option. Ok, so the 13 year old kid wants to go to the festival, do you have seniority over him? That only works in highschool man, there's many kids who work their ass off to get money. And the kid doesn't need his mommy or daddy's credit card since the festival is free. :) Aside from the point, the festival is free, things are going to be chaotic, and stuff like this happen all the time. You have chances to get your tickets, don't worry about it, this whole free thing is a publicity stunt, and I hope it would be the last of them, since I want a full-fledged festival. Seth didn't do anything wrong, and if you're not going to attend any shows in the IMP or 9:30 club, then you're just a pooh-pooh head.

Nice and may I add pee pee head

You sure as fuck sound like a whiny 13 year-old bitch. Good riddance. I'm pretty sure he'll be just fine without your business.

If folks like drksc8 get shut out then the system is working!

Seriously, you get shutout it happens.  I got shutout because I was driving to Ohio (ugh) for a wedding on Thursday morning, and then at said wedding on Saturday morning.  It happens.

If you want to go, something may happen.  I plan on waiting and seeing if additional tickets are released, checking with friends, pleading with board members.. something, i dunno.  35,000 tickets are out there and I think it's safe to say that all of them don't have names on them just yet.

a LOT of them don't have names on them yet.  scalpers will quickly realize that people aren't willing to pay much for these tickets as the date approches (anyone willing to pay $$$ for them will have done so earlier), they won't pick them up in late august, and a ton will be released on 8/29.

Hey Seth could you see if its possible to book Sid and Susie (Matthew Sweet and Susanna Hoffs) for a DC show on their upcoming tour?

Motorhead was a cool unexpected announcement.


Thanks for that.

Sid n Susie seconded swiftly.
