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

Nope, that's the option I chose and I had to pay the $5 processing fee.  Which I'm fine with.

So are they randomly charging some people? Bizarre.

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

Seth just said in this thread that you won't have to pay.  Meaning, if you did, you'll get the money back.

I bought the Karma Package for 2 (With T-shirt) and a 3 day delivery at $70, whatever, it's better than like freaking 175.

The tickets itself should be $0.00 of course, I just made a donation and payed shipping with t-shirts.


I bought my tickets at 10:05. Painless. Easy. Done.

Sorry – didn't get through all of the new 8 pages of posts before I noted I'd been charged the $5 for will call.

Regarding Craigslist & Ebay, I think there will end up being a lot of tickets available for free.  Think about it; nearly everyone interested is going in and getting two tickets.  There will be extras.  My group of concert-going friends all got 2 tickets today; I'll bet we end up with several extras we give out (usually giving first dibs to forum folks).

Everyone chillax!!!  And thanks to VFest folks for this cool event…

Was three day shipping more expensive or something?  Because I thought I read that tickets won't be mailed out until August 21/28-ish.

i am going to try to get a ticket on sat.  if i do, i will give it away for free (no postage or processing fee either) to a regular 930 forumer who doesn't have luck.

I would really appreciate it and would like to possibly claim this if its available - I missed out this morning and will be trying my luck on saturday bright and early.

Yes it is expensive, the free shipping relates to sending the tickets a few days before the festival.

But the shipping I bought ($15), it a 3-day business delivery.

There's many options to shipping, it's just that if you want it to be free, then just do the few days before festival option.

I got the free/$5 shipping, because I don't think there's really a point in getting it shipped ASAP.  The concert isn't in three days, so I can wait until a few days before to get my ticket in the mail.

I swear the TM page said tickets wouldn't ship at all until the week before.  Maybe I'm wrong, though.

WAIT, SOMEONE PLEASE CONFIRM this!

That means that ticketmaster just gyped $20 of my payment…

Well, the ticketmaster page says tickets will be shipped "at a later date."  I thought someone posted in this thread that they'd be shipped closer to the event to avoid scalping.

Either way, I just don't understand the rush in wanting them mailed in three days.  As long as they get to me before the 30th, I couldn't care less how long it takes.  I guess if you need to get the ticket sent to someone else ASAP, I can understand, but I can't think of any other situations where it's that necessary.

Yeah, I'm buying two tickets to give 1 ticket to my friend.

I just called a lady at the local service @ ticketmaster, and said that the tickets will be sent to me in 3 days, so problem solved!

I hope that's the case for you, but that's not normally how it works.  Normally the fast shipping choice is just the method they use once they get around to mailing them.  It's not a guarantee that they'll ship them immediately.  They may hold the tickets for a month, but when they do get around to shipping them, they'd use 3-day delivery.

I hope it is the case for me, otherwise it's badddd.

So, any bets as to how quickly these tickets will be gone tomorrow morning?

I'm thinking they'll easily be gone in an hour.  More likely, they'll be gone quicker.

by a couple of days

and the tension mounts.


is it me (on a side note) or why hasn't the mbv show sold out yet?

dont know man, its on the front page of TM, so they're trying to sell it out.

The National never sells out shows that quickly.  Tickets will still be available for that show up until a week before the show probably.  This has been the case for all major acts that have played there.

so has anyone tried scoring tix for v-fest today? i cant get them, i'm already getting "no tix available" page.
