Bahamut Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 So I tried calling and their customer service sucks (stupid automated shit). I did look on their FAQ online though and it says that the tickets MUST be purchased at the box office for group purchases. Can someone stop by the box office to get the full scoop on this (larry?) ?

big giant circles Posted April 30, 2007 Author Share Posted April 30, 2007 well that's retarded. larry? you gonna jump their asses? aight, so i called and spoke to a live person. he gave me the direct # for "group sales" which i'll call tomorrow since i'm off. otherwise, i inquired about which seats are still available, and how many people (rougly) we were looking to seat, and here's the deal. I think we better hurry and jump on this shiz, b/c these look like great seats. also, i know the letters don't match up perfectly, but the red box is where he explained that rows Q and R are actually at on this diagram. dragon avenger, jose, pixie, zircon, sephfire, as of now, what's your projected status looking like? *edit* why the heck is this image not popping up?

big giant circles Posted May 1, 2007 Author Share Posted May 1, 2007 Seeing as those two rows could potentially go very quickly, let me ask: Who's ready to pay now? I know Taucer, Escariot, myself, Larry, and bahamut for certain are. Who else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoffrey Taucer Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 How exactly do I pay you, anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big giant circles Posted May 1, 2007 Author Share Posted May 1, 2007 How exactly do I pay you, anyway? Actually, either Larry or Dave will be making the purchase, so you'll essentially be donating your money to them. Larry's going to the ticket office today to inquire, and if people actually are ready to pay now, we need to grab those rows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RealFolkBlues Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Would I have to pay for my guests as well? This is a bit of a short notice for getting my money right. Don't play with my paper, BGC. Otherwise, I imagine this would be a PayPal donation to Larry or Dave? We need some info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big giant circles Posted May 1, 2007 Author Share Posted May 1, 2007 i'm on the phone with larry right now. we're hammering out the details now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liontamer Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 i'm on the phone with larry right now. we're hammering out the details now. Got off the phone with Jimmy and called the Kennedy Center's Group Sales. Spoke with Natasha, who was very helpful. All relevant info in this post has been handled by BGC in the first post, but here's my breakdown as well. *Ticket cost and availability This info is for the Friday, June 29, 8PM performance. I've reserved 25 tickets in rows Q & R, Premium Orchestral Center, generally held to be the best section in the house. Since 3 seats had been purchased in row Q, 25 covered the entire rest of the rows. Tickets (and I asked at least 3 times to verify) are 20% off with the group discount, and as such will be $37.44 each which includes any and all taxes and surcharges. We have until May 22nd to pay for the tickets in full. That leaves everyone exactly 3 weeks to solidify their plans to attend the concert. *How to buy your tickets through OCR In order to reserve your tickets, please use OCR's PayPal Donation button (top left of the sidebar) and provide the appropriate amount depending on how many tickets you plan to buy. As soon as you do this, please post in the thread indicating that you've paid and under what email address your PayPal account is under, just to help verify things. *Accomodations djpretzel has limited space at his house for people to crash, particuarly helpful for those who don't live in the area and would prefer to avoid hotel costs. Aight everyone, ya got 3 weeks to get your plans into place. This is the meetup to end all meetups. Attend VGL, meet-and-greet with various pros, potentially crash at djp's house and possibly attend the following day's concert as well if you can stay the weekend. Let's get it going!

Bahamut Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 I just donated $112.32 for three tickets. I'll have at least one friend and at most two friends for it, so we'd all need a place to crash. I hope the calculations include the 4% that Paypal takes as a charge...or do these donations have no Paypal charge at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ifirit Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 I would really love to come and could easily donate money for the tickets, but I have a problem with getting there. At the cheapest, it would cost $200 just for travel, which makes it impractical. If anyone is headed my way and wants to give me a ride, I'd be more than happy to contribute to the cost of gas.

The wingless Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 And what sort of confirmation can I get that this "Disc Jockey Pretzel" will have room enough to hold me? Hotel plus plane is big bucks, and I'm only upper-middle class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RealFolkBlues Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Wingless: if you bring a sleeping bag, I'm sure I can fanangle some space at my grandparent's place. Be forewarned, though; their Jewdi powers are formidable, and I imagine Grandpa Leo's Force Guilt is deadly. Be careful. BGC: what kind of car are you going to be driving? Mine will probably make it to DC, but I wouldn't mind a ride from somebody in a better car (i.e. not 17 years old and having travelled less than 204000 miles.) From Knoxville to Asheville to DC would add about 80 miles (probably an hour and three quarters more in terms of time) to the trip, but I'm sure we can work out something in terms of compensation. PM back if that might work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big giant circles Posted May 2, 2007 Author Share Posted May 2, 2007 We'll be driving a Toyota Camry, it's in great shape and pretty low mileage. However, if it turns out that more than 4-5 people end up carpooling with us, then I might try to convince my mom to lend me her van, which can seat 7. I proposed the idea of sephfire and his wife trekking to Knoxville and riding with us to save gas, and if they do, I'd most likely ask you to just drive here to Knoxville, and we'd all ride up from there. A bit out of your way, I know, but we'd all collectively save quite a bit on gas. *edit* wait, are you talking about for the ride back?

RealFolkBlues Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 Yeah, that sounds awesome, I can definitely drive to Knoxville. It's a straight shot on 40, so no biggie. Thus far I have one passenger for sure, and I'm thinking one other possible. I'll PM you if something comes up, but otherwise, I guess we should meet up on Thursday.

The wingless Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 All I need is some air-tight legally binding garuntee that I can be picked up from the airport, that I have a place to crash, and that I have a ride back to the airport. Taxi may be substituted for rides, but c'mon, that's dolla dolla bills I'm spending to see you shmoes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
