What was your first thought when you received your ticket?

When I got home, no one else was here so I thought my ticket receiver had flaked and I'd have to be wait longer, but lo; there it was half under my doormat.

My first thoughts: Singing in my head, "I've got a golden ticket, I've got a golden ticket..." and literally skipping into the house.

Well I was out all day yesterday then at like 6am I was drunk at my friends and my dad texted me to tell me they were there since yesterday I was like cool. Then I thought to myself that this will be the one thing I forget...

i was a bit underwhelmed by how cartoonish they are. Maybe i'd like them more if there wasn't a white border?

I'm glad to have mine though since they were shipped to my gf's house and i didn't get mine yesterday.

I expected better art work on the ticket...It seems quite novel to me, with no lasting quality to the design.

I was underwhelmed also - I wish they were rectangular - but they are cute.

Boz actually got the tickets from the UPS guy and told him that if I had been there he would have had to dance with me - LMAO (which is true - the first year I got tickets - they were delivered to my office and I knew the UPS guy pretty well - he danced around the office with me - doing a happy Bonnaroo dance!)

Well - I saw them on here before I got my hands on them. My first thought seeing pics of them was "Holy fuck those are some ugly motherfuckin' tickets." After receiving them - I felt the same way. I thought last years design was excellent. I was hoping for something more along those lines. It doesn't really matter since they get me in the gates - but they're not something I'd want to put on display - ya know?

They kinda look like a sticker.

I mean, it's neat, and I'm sure it'll be harder for counterfeiters to copy, but it doesn't necessarily scream "class."

Then again, like that guy up there said, as long as it gets my happy ass through the gate...

Guess that depends on what else is in the display....

As for this year's tix, they are different, and I've found that in my life "different" is a good thing.

Well I was taking a nap by the front door bc I knew the UPS man would be coming. When he finally came he said "Did I wake you?" and I said "Yes but I was sleeping by the door waiting on this!" Boy was I excited to got that envelope. It's the coolest ticket I've ever seen!

I took this picture to record the moment for all perpetuity!
