So how do you get your tickets to this free event you ask? You can RSVP by 02/15/2010 or you can post a comment on this here blog and I will choose one winner and give them a pair of tickets I have acquired thanks to Revolver Magazine. My only rule for this contest of sorts is that you are over the age of 18 and actually plan on attending.
I read the FAQ on the Scion Rock Fest site and there is something there that states “entry is not guaranteed” and I am thinking that is for the folk who did not get tickets or their name put on a roll call.
I’ll pick a winner on 02/20/2010. Don’t forget to enter your email address!
Dude…Voivod! That rules. Jason Newsted on bass!
Yob is kick ass.
Unfortunately I just found out about this show today and the RSVP tickets are now gone. I checked to see if 3 Inches of Blood was touring several days ago. On Century Media’s site it showed they were going to be in Columbus Ohio at the Newport. It listed them with TBA for other acts. I was not able to find any other info that day. I checked again today and it had them listed as being part of the Scion Rock Fest. I checked this and was blown away that there was going to be such an awesome and brutal festival and that was what 3 Inches of Blood was a part of. Then to see it was free was mind numbing. Of course in the end there was devastation as I found no tickets were available. As I felt all hope was lost I then read this post. I have wanted to see 3 Inches of Blood for a while now as they are an amazing and unique band. Now it seems that I may have that chance….
I tried to RSVP a ticket, but I was too late. My mom, my sister, and my band are all going. My mom and my sister just happen to live in Columbus, but they are not looking forward to this festival like I am. I have to see Pelican, DRI, Magrudergrind, and Trap Them. Pelican’s album Australasia changed my life, and they are my favorite instrumental band. Plus after hearing Magrudergrind’s self-titled, I have to see them live. I thought I would never be able to live down my mom and sister seeing all these great bands without me. Now, I actually get to go too.
Man this would be sweet. I also just saw the ads for this and now it is too late. Hopefully I will win these tickets so I can still go. Good Luck to everyone!
