Too little too late.

People will make excuses and go for the music. I get it. At least we don't have to argue over whether or not PJ has sold out--they have, there's no arguing with fact.

In case it hasn't been mentioned, the $99 2-day passes are limited, I'm guessing the regular sale on Wednesday will be more expensive. From the Facebook Made in America Page:

Now that phase 1 of the lineup is out, the ticket presale is tomorrow! RSVP for the Budweiser Made In America Festival Facebook Event to get a presale code for a limited number of $99 dollar tickets that go on sale 10AM EST Tuesday, May 22nd. . https://www.facebook.com/events/4187704 ... l_activity

So everyone who really wants to go, RSVP now so you get access to the code.

How does that work? Do you get the code right away? I don't do facebook, but I got my kid to rsvp and she didn't get anything yet - does it get sent right before the sale time?

I wonder what the next price level will be

I'm assuming at 10AM EST tomorrow (or sometime right before) they will post the password and because you (or rather, your daughter) RSVPed, it will show up on her Facebook newsfeed. Or if they might send a message blast. I'm not entirely sure but that's what I'm going with

Yes because Lollapalooza or pretty much any festival thy've ever played never had sponsored stages and sponsored soft drinks right? LOL!!! You're hilarious, dude.

Seriously, the sell out talk sounds retarded, budweiser is at every concert everywhere in this country. This sell out talk is so funny.

Seriously, the excuses sound silly (or, to quote you, retarded)

do you even know how these sponsorship's work? i really don't myself, but i have an idea. and i would assume that budweiser is helping fund the festival, and in return, they get to have their name all over it and have exclusive rights to beer sales at the concert. it has nothing to do with where the profits are going. you can choose to not buy budweiser beer if you wish. i know i won't be drinking any. but i do know that some of the proceeds of the event are going to the united way. and as some others have pointed out, it could be an Obama fundraiser of sorts, but I haven't heard anything reliable regarding that.

either way, to put on an event of this magnitude, it usually requires a sponsorship of some sort. who cares if it's a beer company that is going to be inevitably sold at the show anyway. didn't know buying a bud at a concert was some new thing.

They are sponsoring the show, their profits go overseas. To say it has nothing to do with profits is inaccurate.

I am deffinetly buying a ticket for a two day festival just to see pearl jam dont care about any other act gonna drive home from the shore and my vacation for them and only them

i guess it depends how you look at it. i'm not buying any budweiser at the show, and i don't think budweiser is receiving any profit from me buying a ticket. so i'm not sure how supporting the event and supporting budweiser go hand in hand. but yeah, i'm sure budweiser will be making a ton from the sponsorship. but even still...big fucking deal. if you can't deal with being around budweiser, then maybe you shouldn't go to concerts, or even participate in society...maybe you should just go live off the land and find shelter in a cave. nothing wrong with that, but it's not for me. and given the fact that you are using a computer to participate in this discussion, i'm assuming it's not for you either, which makes your argument seem kind of silly.
