Ya, going by just this board, I dont see that many people going. That or either people just aren't telling us they are going. But they really dont have to. They say the place holds 5,000. I can see maybe 2,000 going. Looks like I'm buying from scalpers. :(

What the fuck... the place holds 5,000?

The guy at the River to River stand who checked my ID told me that they gave away reservations for 8,000 tickets! I was pretty fucking bummed at the thought of having to fight through 8,000 to get to the stage.

I realize that not all tickets will actually be picked up... but still, where did he pull the number 8,000 from?

that would be real typical for them...forcing everyone to hop through all kind sof hoops to get tickets, and then the day of the show let any and all people in - ask the people who waited online for the Malkmus show or the Boredoms show in the past year and how ell that went. The Parks Dept is just fucked, they should just have an open door and let anyone in but they are obsessed with Control. They now know by name where many of us will be and when. You can be skeptical but its true.

I'm not really sure what you are saying here... so it's hard for me to be skeptical ;)

I got my tickets the first day they were offered for pick up, last Wednesday, June 18. Bike rode from Midwood section of Brooklyn, in full mailman uniform, over the Brooklyn Bridge, I had not done that for like 9 years...Jill Sobule was doing a soundcheck when I arrived at 4PM. Tickets began being given out at 5PM, I was the first person to get tickets. I was told 6000 tickets were alotted for this event. If anyone didn't pick up tickets then those extras would become available to the public the day of the show.

I hope they do a good show, I'm bringing my wife and 14 year old daughter, it's her firsat Sonic show...

To anyone who picked their tickets up at the World Financial Center Plaza: Did you see the incredible Irish Hunger Memorial? I hope you did.

And I was told 8,000. What gives? Incompetent employees I imagine.

So...what do you guys think would be a good time to get there to get a good chance of getting close to the stage?

My ticket doesn't say anything about that.

Yeah. I don't see that on mine either.

don't you have a bunch of fine print on the back?

Ah nevermind, I see it now. My eyes kinda go cross-eyed when I read fine print, so I probably skimmed over it before.

I would still like a ticket

well i mailed them today to see if i could pick them up at another time and they said they would mail them to me so hopefully i'll get them.

i never bothered to get them.

thanks for the photo... could you please post one of the reverse side? also what type paper is it printed on? also exact dimensions would be useful.

thanks in advance.

in need of a spiritual awakening.........
 

:cool:What's the chances of crash in next friday. Just found this site yesterday and just learnt of the concert at the same time. Being from Wormtown MA I'd hate to make a 3 1/2 to 4 hour drive and get shutdown.
