Apparently from what I've heard the Best Buy thing is something completely independent, this giveaway I've mentioned is being done by the actual band, so I hear.

I'm already taking a bus up there for one show. If anyone wins but can't go I'll put the ticket to good use >_>

My guess is that the tickets are for the July 19th show that Live 105 is doing. Where u can only win tickets

I agree. They've given away maybe 200-300 tickets on the radio, nowhere near The Fillmore capacity.

Yes, the rumors are TRUE!



Smashingpumpkins.com will be giving away tickets to a show at the Fillmore during the San Francisco residency.



How do I win the tickets?

SIMPLE!

Just register as a user to Smashingpumpkins.com. That's it.



If I am all ready a user, am I out of the running? Shucks...

Oh silly SP fan, of course not! ANYONE registered on smashingpumpkins.com can win! This is the beginning of what we hope to be many smashingpumpkins.com exclusive giveaways and promotions. We'll see how well this one goes and continue from there.<



Is Billy Corgan going to choose the winner himself??

That remains to be seen. The method by which we choose the winners is shrouded in secrecy. It may very well be a matter of national insecurity, only time will tell.



How do I know I've won?

The lucky winners will be notified via their email registered to their sp.com accounts as well as a private message from the band themselves. No impostors please! You will receive a private message from TheSmashingPumpkins. Also, winners will be posted in a news report.

WINNERS WILL BE CHOSEN WEDNESDAY JULY 25th



So that's it pumpkins fans! Sign up and sit tight. Enlist in the Smashing Pumpkins Media Militia today! Protect and serve! (at least you might score the hottest ticket in town!)

dude they could sandwich about 300 more people into these shows, giving away a ticket to one show is a rip....open the floodgates!
