Yeah, I'm goping. I bought a VIP tix for a hundred and 80 bucks. Not for Beck, for Fiona Apple, but hey, I won't be closing my eyes when Beck hits the stage, will I???
But you? Whatever of you've. You can vounteer, though it is a bit complicated, in the end you can get to see the show for free! And you also have to put a deposit for the price of the ticket which means you're tying up a coupla C Notes till five days after the festival.I dunno, but if I could spend a coupla months without two hundred bucks I might as well buy the damn ticket and have done with it.
here is there website.
