8/22 Orlando, FL @ Hard Rock - Page 5

JRiordan · 08-19-2008, 09:44 PM

A nice guy from the box office told me that he thinks the only guaranteed-admission tickets are from the radio station. He said the web tickets are for "standbys".

Now, I don't think he is 100% accurate on the "standbys" comment. Even if the radio gave away tickets every hour, it'd take them a while to get to 3000. So I think a good number of website "e-confirmation tickets" will get you in, but probably some people will be denied. He did say that the venue had nothing to do with the tickets for this show.

I also asked if he knew if the show was going to be only 1 hour (as claimed on the Samsung Summer Krush website). He said that he hadn't been told that, but also that most of the venue staff had already left town due to the tropical storms (I was quite surprised to hear this), so that he couldn't ask anyone to confirm. But he said he wouldn't be surprised, since it is a free show.

He said to call back in the next couple days and maybe they'd have more info / more venue staff would be there to confirm things.

Just got this super lame email from 1iota:

Here are the two pages for video and photo uploads:

1. Samsung AT&T Summer Krush Street Team
2. Smashing Pumpkins Street Team

Also, please add your comments and shout outs on both pages as well! We hope to do this concert series again in your area and Samsung wants to make sure Atlanta liked it.

Note: Yes, it says "Atlanta" in the last sentence. Probably just a copy/paste error from their other shows.

And people, please DO NOT hold up your lame ass cell phones throughout the show!!!

they do not just give out tickets to winning callers, they gave out about 100 tickets at places all over orlando this week... 1 or 2 every day. that is were i got mine.

Rider · 08-20-2008, 09:04 AM

Yep they have been going insane giving away tickets.

tsp gatmog · 08-20-2008, 09:42 AM

id rather pay $50 to guarantee my entry. i did enter Pumpkins in the comment box, does that really mean anything? i guess ill just have to leave at noon to make sure i get there by atleast 4.

hnibos · 08-20-2008, 10:31 AM

keithnoir · 08-20-2008, 11:44 AM

Considering Fay will still be wandering randomly around Florida I doubt I will be bothering.

Rider · 08-20-2008, 12:08 PM

Would it really have been that hard to play a real fucking show in Orlando, I seriously am sick of corporate Bolly.

Yeah because it better to stand in the rain for hours and still not get in.

ChaosEffect · 08-20-2008, 01:18 PM

Thanks for the info guys. This is starting to look like a bad idea I'm not sure if I am going to make the trip or not.

The lines they set up at the hard rock goes around the left side of the building that's a covered line set up with tvs and rails. If it rains, ill be at the bar next door.
I dont see most the people who got tickets showing up that early.

well, i know im not going to be standing in any rain and still get in.

keithnoir · 01:30 AM

Heads up : I just got an email saying there will be a line for the e-ticket holder.. So it seems that ticketmaster tix holders mite be let in before e-ticket holders.

JRiordan · 08-21-2008, 02:50 AM

The next tropical storm will be Tropical Storm Glass. It will then devolve into Tropical Depression Glass. (it becomes a depression when the maximum sustained wind speed is 33 kt -- s1ne!)

Who sent it? Radio station? Can you post it? Thx.

keithnoir · 08-21-2008, 09:57 PM

From a response email from a summer krush‏ representative

keithnoir · 02:36 AM

So, does anyone have any more news about this event?
I am only a half hour from orlando and have ticketmaster tickets from the radio
so as long as i get there early i'll be find, but im worried about people coming for far with e-tickets...

I really wish the info about this whole show were more public, everyone thinks the only way is to win tickets...
I hope only a few people get turned down and not dozens...

Rusty80 · 08-22-2008, 08:58 AM

I got our tickets earlier this week at Ron Jon surf shop in Cocoa Beach. Wjrr was there from 3-4 pm giving away tickets. All I had to do was show up and have my picture taken wearing a sticker from the station. This will be my first time seeing the Pumpkins so original members or not, I'm still excited.

keithnoir · 08-22-2008, 12:15 PM

I got mine at the same place... heading out there in about 4 hours...

cabbage · 08-22-2008, 11:58 PM

They played a full set. No setlist differences except for Chris on accordian during Set The Controls. HMM ended with Cat Scratch Fever into Rush's Tom Sawyer with Ginger on vocals! Sound was waaaaay better than Clearwater but not as good at the charlotte(s) shows.

MonteLDS · 08-23-2008, 12:01 AM

so they went over the 1 hr show the promoters said they were going to do

I didn't record. Parking was way too far if I had to go back. Plus we got drenched waiting outside. I'm a Chili's now and my clothes are still wet. There were metal detectors as well. There was definitely no pro video either. That was bullshit. I saw no cameras anywhere.

Thaniel Buckner · 08-23-2008, 12:37 AM

yeah tom sawyer was truly brutal.

i got there about what i presume was halfway thru the show while they were playing transformer. they wouldn't let me in without a ticket so i got one from some guy on his way out and used it to get back in, lol.

i've intentionally avoided reading threads about the tour and i'm glad i did.

i don't feel like typing a whole novel out, but i was not let down by the band at all. maybe because it was the last date on the tour and they decided to leave all their baggage, so to speak. jimmy rained clydesdales as usual. jeff looks more comfortable in his own skin. heavy metal machine -> classic rock medley was incredible. what was that thing with billy rocking the timpanis? because that was great. classic pumpkins that sounded nothing like the pumpkins. which in itself is classic pumpkins.

WHAT SAY YE.
