Hey Betao-

Tickets are non-transferable. This was a free and hugely popular event. We want people to go free like it was intended.

Thanks

Do you have an 11 month old kid? Why would you say this?

At 11 months, there's a good chance the kid doesn't even walk, so it's not going to be hard to handle. Just shove a breat in its face. The key thing is lots of sunscreen and keeping it out of the blazing sun. But this year its in late Sept, so less blzing sun.

We took our then two year old last year, and she was fine. Though perhaps that says more about the toughness of her mom than anything. And yes, our two yr old needed a ticket. The Merriweather site says under 2 free to most events, but i can;t remember if that was the case for this one.

Anyone know if a baby needs a ticket to get in?  I'm thinking of taking my 11 month son to his first concert.

Why would you take a 11 month old to this?  Really bad idea.  Leave the kid at home. 

Every time I see a baby at something like this I think what a bunch of selfish parents.  Get a freaking baby sitter.  Odds are the baby will be crying the whole time ruining everyone else's good time.  What if some drunk steps on your kid?  Really have some common sense.

I think they just want to give them to their friend.
Ha - just visualized an official scalping box at MPP like they have at baseball games.

sweetie: I agree re: all that 930/Seth/TF are doing, but still think the constructive complaints should be reviewed and the rest that seem like whines, just let them ride.

So in other words, there is no way I can give them to my friend who couldn't get them for whatever reason?

why not? they give everyone a pat-down or search their bag to check for weapons or alcohol. i would think this would last as long as a quick ID check, especially when they want to identify those 21 years or older.

They are print at home tickets. If you don't have photoshop I would bet you could find a friend who does. Changing the name is very quick and easy.

Tee: I totally agree, constructive criticism is useful. Whining isn't the same as constructive criticism.

Batao: your friends couldn't get tix because you snagged their pair. If you hadn't bought them… ;)

Yada: I'll def buy you a beer at the board meet-up.

This coming from a liar, who now admits to being a cheat. Real classy.

I still dont see if anyone answered about the 30 and 125 tix and the backstage tour. May have missed it but if not, do the 125 tix receive that as well?

Thanks,

Dave O.

I was able to get a pair of tix from the Friday presale. I don't remember a question asking whose name should be on the ticket, so does that mean the cardholder's name (mine) will be on the ticket? I actually intended to buy these for my daughter and her friend. So, is there a way to change the name on the ticket to my duaghter's?

I see from the previous posts that the name on the ticket cannot be changed. My only suggestion is your checkout process should ask the ticket buyer what name should go on the ticket, rather than default this to the cardholder. Thanks anyway - there goes one pair of tix wasted (I have a gig that night and can't go).

Or might have to do the photoshop thing :) Hey, I'm not a scalper so this is okay, right?

I figured this was going to happen while I was out on vacation :'( Shame on me.

Will give it a go next month if tix free up. Looks as though it was somewhat of a hassle but that's the way it is with these free gigs.

Great, so I can't use the tickets I got that I put in the name of That Guy, Shad Rach, and Mad Gypsy ;D

Only you lose. Any credibility you ever had on this board is shot. I'd be shocked if anyone here has any respect for you at all. All you had to do was be honest and you would have been taken seriously, but you decided to lie.

So, when will we find out what happens with the 2 out of 3 pairs of tickets in the 1 household? [roommates etc], will they just have to wait until the un-claimed batch come out and have to have them sent to ANOTHER address?
