    I hope the SG folks are actively policing ebay and craigslist

    these codes should immediately be revoked... give others a chance!!!
    It's really hard to know who that actually is though... unless they try to win the auction to get the details, but that could be really difficult and messy.
    i would think they could just put in a claim with ebay and have it removed / get the person's info

    then again... i dont know that it said anywhere explicitly that this wasn't allowed

    Do you really think that your average schmuck will think that a 'rehashed grunge band' show is the 'thing to be at'? Honestly, I think those not interested in Soundgarden to start with will not have signed up. Those interested willl have. We love Soundgarden, for a lot of people, it's a bit 'who?'. It's not like Led Zeppelin or some other huge classic band reforming. A bit like Take That reforming with whatshisface... who gives a shit around here (not many). I'm sure if you were offered a chance to see an intimate reunion gig but you had to register on their site, you would just shrug your shoulders. As much as it's difficult for us to even contemplate this, it's the same with Soundgarden for those not into the music of that era.

    there is something curious tho that people had to sign up for the fan forum to be eligible and yet there are only like 5 or 6 reported winners so far... is it cause people are at work? are SG fans too cool to post? I guess I just don't remember what it was like around here after the PJ vic sale

    I think a lot of people that would otherwise not go to a SG show would sign up to go to small/special show. I also think that even thought they arent THAT big of a band, their reunion has had a lot of buzz and adding to that having Lolla as the only confirmed date right now.

    I guess my point is still that they had a ton of people already built on a list yet they still spammed this show everywhere and made it that much harder to get tickets. Its also a small slap to those who made sure to sign up right away when in the end everyone could sign up 100 different ways and get tickets probably easier than those who signed up once early.

    Dunno... still don't think Soundgarden reunion is that big for the 'man on the street'. I think that most tickets will go to fans, though quite a number will be for 'industry', as usual. When PJ played Shepherd's Bush in London (capacity approx 2000), the whole first level seemed to be for industry/friends..... No tickets for that level were available for purchase. All these little gigs are like this.

    And this is why I say they did a poor job of ticketing/allowing too many registrations:

    I had a feeling when the person listed 3 things were not right, but I also know that a lot of people were registering a ton of times. I kind of wish I had registered more than once now!

    how could you have gotten away with it? do you have different street addresses and emails? maybe they weren't even crackin down on that...

    I would have done it... but I didn't want to hurt my chances if they found out and kicked me outta the lotto

    My guess is different email and physical address. I dont think they were going to match up your physical address to what you used on the CC. I could be wrong about that, but I doubt it.

    and even then I bet you could use different email and just slightly change your physical and get around and quick searched on it.

    I didnt try.. just me and my wife registered and I figured that I didnt want to possibly void out a winner like you said, but I kept thinking the whole time that a lot of others would be doing it.
