hot damn

pretty cool-- thanks for the link.

if july 4th is a wednesday, then which weekend is the long weekend?

Gone.

As of 12:49 p.m. they're all reserved!

Thanks anyway, BV!

Yes please and Thank you. BV rules

GOTEEEEMMM...

OUR BV, WHO ART IN HEAVEN, HALLOWED BE THY NAME.

YOU BASTARD! Thanks for posting this so that subscribers couldn't get the tickets.

Great. Real great. Sometimes you really suck, BV.

this is for jason, where did you get your tickets? Is there a number to call?

does anyone think the tix will still be limited even if you get email confirmation and you might need to go and pick up at one of the first two events listed instead of the last two?

Shut up, anonymous hater above... sometimes YOU really suck! Being a member of the order of slackers who view BrooklynVegan during their lunch break is a much cooler club than whatever you belong to.

Anon 12:44pm-IF you were able to get in and get reserved tickets then you definately have those tickets no matter what day of the 4 you go to pick them up. They are held for you. After those 4 days then they will give out the tickets that no one picked up.

just for the record, I am a subscriber and i got one.

Anyone get an e-mail confirmation yet?

Criminey! Can't I leave my computer for just a few minutes? Thanks anyway for the info - will have to wait for next week's mad rush.

Drat. Work interfered and I'm now ticketless. Will there be more?

From the email:

"Oh, and don't get discouraged if you aren't one of the first 500 subscribers to win. We'll have another giveaway via the River to River website on June 20th at noon. This is just our gift to you all for being such dedicated readers. Thanks! "

Yeah I clicked via BV at 12:48,
submitted the form at 12:49 (no tickets left) as I simultaneously got the email with the link from River2River at 12:49.

hey anon 12:57, i got a confirmation right after i signed up and clicked on send, both on the following screen and via email. you might want to check your spam filter, or maybe you wrote your email addy wrong.

Thanks Qbert, got my e-mail confimation about 30 minutes after.

how many more tickets will be released on June 20th!?

Don't worry. Battery Park is a huge place. Same thing happened last year when Belle and Sebastian played 4th of July. River to River gave away tickets online then they quickly ran out of them online. A couple days later they announced they'd be handing out the rest of the free tickets at specific starbucks locations and designated times. Two per person. I waited in a line that wrapped around the block that moved quickly once they started distributing tickets at their designated time. Almost everyone who was near me got tickets. You just have to get there about an hour early. Battery Park is a big place. Of course minutes later these "free benefit concert" tickets were on craigslist for sale. Things got ugly at a few of the starbucks locations for people who went ticketless that Belle and Sebastian later apologized for.

The biggest challenge is not getting the tickets, it's getting to Battery Park early enough to wait in line to secure a good spot on the day of the concert.

The year they had the Yo La Tengo/Malkmus show we got there too late and ended up having to watch from the sidewalk outside which wasn't bad at all. We were closer to the stage than alot of the people inside the park.

The acoustics at Battery Park suck.

Well good thing the show is FREE you shithead. Then you really cannot complain can you

I got tickets and I am not even going.

me too. any takers?

Beware of free Pornography.

i'll gladly take tickets from anyone not going

I'll gladly take tickets by force from anyone who is going.

i am so pissed! shut out of shows for my two favorite bands - new pornographers and wilco. fuck this town!

WTF..im at the website there is nothing to indicate where i have to do to het these tickets and im getting might frustrated

Thanks alot for the link!! I couldn't access it on the river to river site and I got really nervous. But all is well and I secured the tickets! YAY

Thanks for the link. The main river to river site is a disaster.

wait, so do i have to get tickets on the day of the show, or pick them up at one of those other places listed during those times on the confirmation, or is that just some other random stuff for me to go to? i'm confused

It sounds like we have to go to one of these other events to pick up the tickets. Very troubling for me as I don't live in the city, and now will have to make an extra trip.

do not go to living room for your tix.. i called, they are hosting the show at the world financial center, not distributing tix at their place.

is anyone going to pick up their tix tonight? It says, " The Living Room - Starring Martha Wainwright, Chris Thile & More
Wednesday June 27 • 5-7PM ", but on the main website it says 7pm?

any one have any clarification?

I'm going tonight to pick up the tickets. The info e-mailed with the ticket says the Living Room show is 6PM to 8PM, the river to river festival site says the show starts at 7PM. I'm equally confused and hope it's not too much of a hassle.

Ticket pickup is from 6-8 pm at the World Financial Center. The show begins at 7 pm.

I plan on buying tix from someone tomorrow. Could anyone please tell me what the tix look like, so I'll know if they are the real deal.

Tickets are 2 1/2" x 5", large River to River logo on top, greeny, bluey, with orange and a red "admit one" arrow and "The Fine Print" on the back.

How much are you buying for? Maybe I'll sell you my two cheaper!

If anybody has extra tickets and is willing to sell them for less than $20 each, please let me know. I was at my high school graduation practice when the tickets were onsale, and was unable to get to a computer in time.

i'll take one for 25 if anyone has it
