Scored tickets with firefox at 10:02. I was lucky I guess. Super stoked for the fest!
FREEFEST 2011
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… :o
right, you didn't even have to log on to facebook…the link is on their wall 5 minutes before it went on sale.

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 guess ticketfly did a bang up job.

We'll look into it. Unfortunately it's a Facebook issue.10sweets wrote:beetsnotbeats wrote:
Okay, 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.
UGH!!! 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.

I agree with you but look at it from Virgin's perspective… this way they really made sure people knew it was Virgin Mobile.. also they targeted a younger demographic.
I've seen it in other companies lately: targeting the Facebook/Twitter/social networking is all the rage at board meetings… sort of the flavor of the month.. so I could see why Virgin would push for that..
I just think if you're going to do the FB thing you have to make sure people don't feel like they got F'ed and i think here- based on the comments on FB- a lot of people feel like thats what happened ..its one thing to get the screen saying "sold out".. another to get something about cookies or some other vague concept of computer trouble…but maybe i'm wrong maybe people feel like they got f'ed regardless if they didn't get tickets in which case a lot of people were going to feel that way either way..

Same here. I'm gonna burn my tickets just for the fuck of it.
well i'm not going, i didn't get tickets . . . hell, i didn't even try. i wanted to go, but would i have a good time? its so far from my house and parking at merriweather when it's not a jam band and everybody's not off the hook drinking, smoking pot, titties hanging out, isn't that exciting. somehow . . . this show would feel to me, "like i'm babysitting, and not getting paid."
they should webcast this, so we do not have to go.
Ha, ha! It's just not the same; however, I do like the idea of having it webcasted.
Bummed about VIP. Every year I bought them plus spent a few hundred on me and my friends. It was our mini Lallapalooza. Guess its gone and we will have to start hitting Chicago. It was a fun ritual while it lasted : (

You need to quit the board again.

So if it's "an lol cat" does that mean we're supposed to read it out loud as "an L-O-L cat" because I believe it should be read as "a lawl cat" meaning you don't use "an".
In fact, I think we should just stop resisting modern progress and start saying "lawl" when we find something comical or humorous. Even an iron robot housecleaner that wears a french maid outfit would says "LAWL" when hearing a witty anecdote concerning an Xp-13 fixed-sync rotating uplink.

Got a text message saying to get free tickets go to virginmobilefreefest.com by 10 am on friday the 23rd and enter "loft". Seems like this is last years message. Is virgin sending out this to people by mistake?

Considering that this Friday is the 22nd, I'd say yes.
