This is just so wrong.. I wondered how long it would take for someone to put tickets on ebay but I didn't think it would be this quick.

If it's not right, it's wrong! I pity the fool who scalps tickets for a free show... I hope the powers that be make them pay dearly for such a heinous act of greed.

Updated info from Ticketmaster:

There is a 4 ticket limit per household.
Gates are scheduled to open at 3:00pm, concert scheduled to start at 5:00pm.
TicketFast is the only delivery option available. Mail or Will Call is NOT available for this event, including Canadian and International orders.
PRINT DELAY FOR TICKETFAST DELIVERY UNTIL 6/24 TO ASSURE COMPLIANCE WITH TICKET LIMITS.

I'm getting to this concert if I have to crawl all the way down I-65!

Don't know what good it will do but I reported the asshat.

I knew you could do it! WOOOOOOHOOOOOOO!!!!!

They might be using a similar shuttle system that was used for the recent Hangout Music Fest. Here is a pdf of the shuttle routes that were used back in May. Please don't take this as carved in stone, just purely info for all:

I would recommend everyone bring SPF 30 or better sunscreen.

I hope y'all have fun! I'll have to tape it!

Tomorrow is the ticket day--good luck to everyone.

Ok, now if only those of us that WANT to go to the show can actually get tickets!
(and not the eBay stalkers)

For anyone that has been to any previous beach festivals there, any ideas if you can take a beach umbrella or small tent for shade in?
What were some of the guidelines?

In defense of the guy that's trying to sell tix on eBay . . . (I don't agree with him, but hey, I'm a Gemini, I can (and will, and do) argue either side of any issue!).

The tix may be free, but there will be a limited # of tix and they will have a value. It isn't what the item cost, it's what it's worth. (Kinda like JB guitar picks or flip flops . . . they were "free" when he tossed them into the crowd, but they still have a value when they show up on eBay.)

All that being said, the guy is an a$$hat!

but he has 8 tickets available--but selling them one at a time.
There is a 4 ticket limit?

I thought about contacting him and offering him "10 times face value" . . . .

Ohhh, I like the way you think!!!!!

I thought about contacting him, but logged out instead.
I don't need the drama right now

According to the FAQ page from the Hangout Music Festival that was held back in May at the same location, chairs of any kind and umbrellas were not permitted. Here is a link to The Hangout Festival page. Click on the About link then click on FAQ and scroll down. The Gulf Coast Show seems to be modeled a lot like the Hangout.
