'zag, my situation is still being worked out.  i can definitely give you a ride there, question is whether or not i'll have the car to give you a ride back: the missus may need to duck out before the end of the show, i'll mostly likely want to stay until the end… need to figure out how to make that happen (or if we need to making it happen).  i'll let you know what we settle on. 

Awesome. Much appreciated.

what  a ripofff! You can go to NYC for less!

HELLO IMP? WTF?

agreed that it's silly expensive, but take it up with the bus service.  IMP doesn't set prices for other companies.  

(and comparing an event-specific, irregular service to a high-volume scheduled service isn't a fair comparison.  you can fly to los angeles for less than it would cost you to fly to asheville, even though it's 10 times the distance)

i thought IMP was endorsing this bus service.. if they're not then thats fine.. but if they're throwing in their lot with these ripoff guys then that would s u c k.


there's no way it should cost practically the same as a cab to take a bus. sorry.

If the neighborhood in which the club lies gives Walkies the willies, do you really think he would go within 20 miles of Philly?

When are the set times coming out?

traditionally they come out just a few days before the festival, like wednesday or thursday. 

Freefest's inability to publish set times more than 72 hours before the show is the only black spot on what is otherwise an amazing feat of organization, IMO.  maybe this year will be different?

Why? So you can decide not to use your tickets?

nope - so i can plan my day, pick a time for the meetup (and get people's feedback about it), and have extra time to bitch about the inevitable conflicts ;D

Sounds like a great idea to me.

three days is not enough for that?

Does anyone know if the Pavillion box office has special hours over the holiday weekend?  Will they be open Monday to pick up our tickets?

If anyone has a free set of tickets–or selling at reasonable price, I'd be might grateful…will look int he pm with fingers crossed…

Are the tix even transferable?  I thought only the "buyer" could use them

I think last year the tickets had our names on them and people wondered if they were going to check your name to the tickets but nope.  This year the tickets have no name what so ever.  I'm not going this year but giving them away to a friend.  As long as you got a ticket you are in  ;D

Got my Freefest tickets from the club tonight. Also got my Kyuss Lives! tickets without some 10 dollar fee.

If anyone has a pair I'd love to take them! I'm gonna try on the release on Friday for the unclaimed ones but if anyone has a pair they're trying to unload I'm happy to take them off someone's hands!

set times are up!

I"m confused..do they have the names of the stages right? Pavilion State ends at 10? Festival Stage is West stage?
