Are tickets still available this late into the day? Yep - just attempted to buy one and then the total price was 350 so I'm going to have to wait to buy one locally before the festival sometime ... Really hope I get to go this year.

So we cashed in the spare change jar and pulled enough money together today to get one of our two tickets. I ran to our bank and bought a USbank gift card and tried for three hours to get my ticket. It would send me from the red bull site to Jive nation with no problems. I would select one ticket. It would find one ticket and then take me to the page to check out. It never declined the card(which I did activate before trying). Then it would time out. Over and over. I tried contacting them and got no response. Any advice for trying during the Saturday rush.

The clock is ticking, flood their phone lines. You don't want to play roulette with the 10AM start tomorrow.

One of my friends was having issues and I recommended changing the search parameters from "Any Price" to "325.00" and it worked for him after that.....not sure why it worked but it did.

What a clusterfuck. Nobody could figure it out all day. I have either been on the phone or replying to an email. Why in the world would it work tomorrow?. It was a fluke I had enough money to begin with. I have $360 on a prepaid card through US Bank. Somebody please help me buy a ticket tomorrow. I have tried everything they have suggested. Red bull emailed me at 6:30am asking if they could help. I immediately replied asking for help. They replied instantly saying they would contact me soon. They never got back to me.

I went back after I bought my tickets, and bought one for my friend as well. I went through the RedBull link. I think most of the presales ended at 10pm PST. Unfortunately I think the window may have closed, though still keep trying! I did the same thing as others have said: Trying "best available", then "325.00" select number of tickets then go through to do the captcha and all that.

I tried that. The reply time and call back time was horrible today. I would speak to one person. They would hang up and say they would call back. Then somebody else would call back. I wanted to cry and yell but all I can do is laugh and keep trying.

Do they make you do the stupid 2 day shipping option with the single weekend passes? I still haven't Dr. Garbanzoured out the whole po box billing address problem I have. Since I haven't had the time to Dr. Garbanzoure it out and get a hold of my bank I might just be screwed again this year. Fuck live nation. Stupid problem to have.
Edit: Well, I guess I answered my own question. 2 day UPS shipping to your billing address or nothing.

I got a pair of July tickets still...I want to sell it to one of you guys before throwing it on Craigslist or something.
Also the general sale today seem to be a lot more calm than it has been the last few years.

July is the weekend i really want to go to, so I'd definitely be interested if I don't end up getting 2 weekend passes.

For the record though, if anyone does win Cliff House access passes from any contests I will trade my ticket and put some extra cash on top of it in congruence with the extra value of that ticket giving you access to a flush-able toilet.

I was able to purchase my ticket today. No problems at all. Still need to buy the Wife a ticket on Tuesday if they are still available.

Well it seems like Nosquatch for us this year. If we win tickets we may reconsider but it seems like it just isn't in the cards this year. Have fun everyone!

I'd still say 35-65% of the tickets are still available. Last I checked the color coded selection is on the middle light blue which I assume means it's somewhere around 50% sold.

Judging by that colour thingy May is selling the best, followed by July, then the 2 weekend tickets.
I wonder if May sells out if there will still be 2 weekend tickets available. If that happens I could see July tickets going for cheap on the secondary market as people will buy the 2 weekend pass for the May ticket and trying to sell the July one.

Tickets for May will sell out by Friday, payday will definitely hit and people will scramble to buy their tickets.
