Roadburn 2009 sold out in 45 minuti

ROADBURN 2009 - SOLD OUT IN 45 MINUTES 

sorry for not posting in the last couple of days. i was in London from Friday morning til Sunday night... 

first off: we're as surprised as all of you about ticket sales going so fast. we didn't see this coming. neither did we expect to see those tickets 
being sold for ridiculous prices at ebay and scalpers after 45 minutes. it makes me feel very uncomfortable, and those who met me at the rise above anniversary saw how sad i was about this. and i still feel very sad when i read all the e-mails that i got about people missing out on tickets. 

i got tons of e-mails of people who are accusing me of collaborating with these leeaches. we don't!!! WE DON'T ENDORSE THOSE C**NTS!!! 
unfortunately we don't know how to trace the validation of the tickets they are selling, as we simply can't trace the people who bought tickets for these f**cks. 

i have read posts from people who'd like to buy tickets from these leeches. You'll never know if you'll purchasing a genuine ticket. please be forewarned!!! 

toby, webmaster of Doom Forever Forever Doomed made a special Roadburn area on the DFFD Forums for roadburn 09. 
Hopefully it will enable people to try and get info and help each other out with spare tickets. the roadburn erea is not to make a quick buck. anyone trying to make money off people will be banned. 

talk about the ticket sales itself. I got a phone call at 10.45 CET that the tickets were indeed sold out after 45 minutes. it took me some time to get proper updates, as i couldn't log in at the 013 network. then it became all very confusing, even for me. apparently, ticket service has about 200 tickets in process, and it can take up to 3 to 8 days before the payment's due. 
in case one of these transactions fail, those tickets will be released again but we don't get any notice of this. although, i don't. that's why we can't give you a proper update when those tickets are up for sale at ticketservice.... this is surely the downside of the ticketservice system. we need another system for roadburn that's for sure. 

we had also some tickets to sell through pay pal, but i was told that those tickets were also sold out in 45 minutes, and that the 013 received over 500 e-mails after 10.45. 

for those of you who don't have tickets, i feel very sorry!!!!

p.s. LOOK OUT FOR SCALPERS!!! 
Every year we have to take in tickets from people who did buy their ticket via a non-official sales point. 
Please note that traders of all kinds of websites offer you too expensive or false tickets. With these tickets, it is not possible to access the festival.


Questa la cronaca. Io ne ho presi due per me e Corradone (che mi deve fare un pompino) alle 10:02 di sabato, quasi pronti per andare all'aeroporto, con Cucù in braccio che frignava mentre cercavo di non sbagliare a digitare i numeri della carta di credito. Aò e me li sono sudati pure io sti biglietti nè?

Comunque, la gente è tra l'infuriato e lo schifato, già si vendono i biglietti per la tre giorni a centinaia di euro su e-bay o su altri siti. Che chi dice che i bagarini abbiano sguinzagliato una batteria di adepti per acquistarne sei ciascuno, il massimo che si poteva fare.

Onestamente la prossima edizione ha un bill eccezzionale, c'è dentro di tutto, io sono del partito che 'basta tilburg, la cosa si fa più grossa ogni anno, si cambi location e città' perchè Tilburg è un posto del cazzo come strutture alberghiere, anche gli alberghi di grosse catene non hanno più posti per quei giorni, non parliamo dei B&B. Spostarsi a eindhoven non è poi sto gran sbattimento però i treni non sono regalati sebbene perfetti, puntuali e comodissimi.
