Virgin is footing the bill on this

but you don't have to go

Hey , we're thankful for the show..


So I need to bring a printout of my Twitter profile?

wow. ok.

Do I need to show up with a tumbler? What do I do with the tumbler once I'm in.. I don't want to walk around carrying a friggin' tumbler all day…

LOL where does it say that?  I don't believe that for a second

Update: If you check into the Virgin Mega Store in Bethesda in the next 15 minutes using four square you will definitely get a ticket or two.

Yada, pick me up a tumbler- just in case- if you see one with the "virgin" logo on it or something.. if it just has Branson's picture on it pass. thanks.

They won't check your twitter, Facebook, tumblr, or foursquare at the door.  It's impossible for them too.  Remember they said one year they will check your tickets to your id name???  Nope, I went as Nancy Hamerfacepoopoo
;D

Be sure to only use Richard Branson ice cubes



Or is it Richard D. James?

Don't know about the rest of you, but I got a presale link from Linkedin.  Oh wait I don't actually ever read those emails…

But there is a scavenger hunt going on at pinterest

so i guess there are no freeium tickets (or whatever they were called) this year for monetary purchase?  if i go can i complain after the festival about Jack White's Big Fat Ego?

anybody heard zz top's new song off the new album?  awesome.  represent, zz.

we all got this in the email blast last night because we are virgin mobile customers:

FreeFest Freemium Package ($49.50) - includes GA ticket, a charitable donation to Virgin Mobile USA's homeless youth shelter, FreeFest t-shirt, souvenir cup that comes with free fountain drinks throughout the festival, and early admission to festival grounds. Non-ticket items must be picked up at the festival on the day of the event.

Awww hell yeah, free pepsi son.

do we have to use internet explorer this year?

My complaint is the same as last year. Basically only two people in a household can get free tickets.

Of course, if my wife and I were divorced and had different billing addresses, we could bring our kid.

Not very family friendly.

There is a 2 ticket limit per person/credit card/billing and shipping address. Over the limit orders will be cancelled. Must have ID matching name on ticket for entry.

I got 20 of those for free last night at the pre-sale pre-party for long time IMP customers.  I was hanging out unti 4 AM with Seth, Richard, Jack White, and the guys from zz top with the beards and they started handing out these packages.  Well except that mine is unlimited beer instead of soda.

you should have come to the pre-sale pre-party as there was no limit on tickets but you can always buy one ticket.  3 tickets for 50 bucks isn't bad.
