Tickets

[NeenAtlanta]

I was just surfing around the home page here to see what's new. On the tickets page, it says the following. I wonder if option #2 charges only a handling fee per order and no per ticket extra charge?

I seriously doubt it Neen but it would be worth the phone call huh?

Well, it says in the second line that "Per-ticket convenience charges apply" - that seems pretty clear to me...

I have a question on tickets, where can you buy them the day(s) of the fest? At the gate? or somewhere else?

[jonnygospeltent]

At the gate.There is a bit of a line at certain times but it usually moves quickly.

yes, the gate. you can legally re-purchase tickets outside the gate for the price that was paid for them. but since tickets are scanned and not torn now, i would only buy from someone who i knew or was walking thru the gate with me.
sometimes folks will be selling 'free' tickets, which is illegal and just wrong - but i guess they needed the $$. sometimes the police bust those people and harass the buyers.

I would not recommend buying or selling outside the gate as I've seen several people busted for selling legit tickets at face value.

i didnt think nola had any laws against such. i've done it several times in front of officers (of course i kind of know them).

is that why they call me 'the big easy'?

It is illegal to resell tickets on the streets at, above or below face value. It's called "peddling without a license" and you can be busted for it. It never stopped me. You need to have enough sense not to do it right in front of the gate and use some discretion. I have never had a problem and I always wind up with a couple extra on Sundays.

i guess god does protect idiots - i've done it outside the gate, inside the gate next to ticket sales, and all around the town.
