2010: Ticket Questions / FAQ

Tue, Aug 18, 2009 at 2:09 PM

You have questions. We have answers. This forum topic will serve as our FFFAQ for FunFunFun Fest 2010.

DATES & TIMES:
FFF 2010 November 5, 6, 7: Most killer line up ever.
- Friday, November 5th: 5pm -10pm Kick off party with Weird Al and friends.
- Saturday, November 6th: 12pm-10pm.
- Sunday, November 7th: 12pm-10pm.

TICKETS:
Fun1 tickets and Fun2 tickets are SOLD OUT. We have plenty of other kick ass tickets available though in our store.

BASIC PRICING IS AS FOLLOWS:
- $75 Saturday / Sunday passes (same price as last year)
- $105 Full weekend passes (Friday-Sunday). This includes the newly added kickoff party on Friday evening.
- $35 Friday only (kickoff party with Weird Al Yankovic and friends)
- $25 Friday only for Fun1 (ticket lottery) purchasers.(kickoff party with Weird Al)
- $45 Saturday only
- $45 Sunday only
- $210 PIP Pass. For details on all the benefits click here.
- $PIP upgrades. You'll pay the difference between your ticket and the price of the PIP ticket.


We will also be offering upgrades to PIP for reg ticket holders, early bird ticket holders, and FUN ONE ticket holders. Please remember that PIP is very limited in quantity. Pay attention to the tickets link - it will get more and more detailed over time, loaded with options.

Single day passes for Saturday and Sunday, as well as limited Student Discounts, will go on sale on/around September 1st.

FUN ONE ticket holders: You will get a separate communication highlighting your options. We will continue to hook you up with options for ridin early with us. FUN ONE tickets were our biggest discount on 2 Day passes. We had not booked the 3rd day until after FUN ONE was complete. So FUN ONE customers will be offered further discounts on adding either PIP, Weird Al kick off, or both. That communication should come soon via email. Long live FUN ONE.

p.s. You're getting your kickoff + full weekend ticket for $85. The full price is now $105. That's quite a steal!

GOOD TO KNOW:

All tickets are will-call.
No tickets will be shipped out to you. This is to help make life easier for you.

What do I need to pick up my tickets?
The fastest way to pickup your tickets is to bring your ticket order receipt (the one with the barcode on it) and a photo ID matching the name on the order. You are required to pick up your own tickets. This way we get to say hi in person!

Is the festival at the same location as 2009?
Waterloo Park, oh yeah. And its going to be madness.

Are ins and outs allowed?
If you have a PIP, Kickoff + weekend or full weekend pass, yes. For single day passes, no ins and outs allowed.

What's the age limit?
Fun Fun Fun is an all ages show. You do have to be 21+ to drink or have one amazing fake ID (good enough to fool your own mother). Kids ages 7 and under will get in free. Their fake ID's would have to be pretty groundbreaking.

I want to upgrade to a Heineken PIP pass. How do I do it?
STARTING MONDAY Heineken PIP upgrades will be available on a very limited basis. Anyone is eligible for this upgrade. All you'll need to do is pay the difference between the ticket you purchased and the cost of the PIP ticket. In order to upgrade, you must call our office at 1-877-GND-CTRL (1-877-463-2875). Our hours are Monday - Friday 9:00am - 6:00pm pacific. Please request your upgrade in the sexiest voice possible.

Heineken PIP: Are those offerings fo'real?
Yes. This year you will pick up your goodies on site. Also, the beer is all you can drink. We reserve the right to cut you off though if you act like a fool. We don't pity the fool.

How do I get my student discount?
Student Discounts are available online only. To get the discount, the student must show up to pick up tickets/wristbands with a valid student ID. If not, face embarrassment and denial and you'll have to pay the difference in exchange for the wristband(s).

Are you going to provide early bird will-call pick up this year:
Yes, absolutely. Stay tuned for more details.

Are you doing contests & giveaways this year?
As we do every year, we will support ticket giveaways and contests, including our legendary scavenger hunt leading up to the fest. We believe in providing as many ways as possible to get into see the show. Make sure to like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter so you're in the know!

I live in 1985 and don't have internet access. Can I purchase tickets over the phone?
But of course! Please call us at 1-877-GND-CTRL (1-877-463-2875). Our hours are Monday - Friday 9:00am - 6:00pm pacific. Operators are standing by!

Freeloaders:
Jumping the fence will be much harder this year. Sorry bros. Respect the GWAR and fellow fans -- shell out a few coins like everyone else did.

    So 2009 was my 2nd FFFF experience, & an exceptional year it was! 2010 is definitely going to be about the PIP, but is there a VIP upgrade an option? What is the pricing for this?

    Hey there. Are you asking about PIP upgrade after purchasing regular tickets? Possible but doubtful. The PIP package is chock full o goodies so it has to be super limited quantities. They were a lightning fast sell-out last year so get in early.. or you'll be bummed :(

    Don't buy the PIP passes. I did. Don't waste your money. Seriously. Some digital sampler after how many months? Nothing else was provided, though much talk about it. Save your money and enjoy the show at the regular price.

    You make a fair statement. It was the first year for the PIP and there were some kinks in the machine. The education process is over though (thank goodness, I hate tests) and the PIP's will be worth their weight in gold this year.

    If you have any other comments, suggestions, PIP item ideas let us know. We're good listeners. At least that's what our therapist says.

    yes, roach is right. who needs a digital sampler when we were really paying for beer, bathrooms without lines, and neverending frito pie?

    This year, the digital sampler is on staycation. Where you might ask? I have no idea. All I know is he won't answer my calls. Maybe its for the best. We have plenty of other friends to take his place this year.

    Good question! Soon you will see something on the homepage outlining the details a bit further. In essence, all you'll need to do is click a few buttons. If your account is up and runnin' this process will be so easy its almost insulting.

    Oh yeah! We have some ideas. Do you have some ideas? What would you be willing to do (within the confines of the legal system - both federal and state)?

    So I could never find the yellow sign-up or whatever button to be placed it the lottery. I take it that I'm too late? I seriously looked everyday! The homepage is not the easiest to navigate.

    i agree with squee23, this site is not user friendly.
    is that on purpose?
