Update: I think I might have been set up. There's a way to fake a from address in an email right?
Mods, go ahead and delete this thread, or lock it whatever. I have a real shithead who pranked me. I can't believe someone would do this. But the good news is more chances for all of you. Sorry to bug everyone.

I thought you find out when they mail the tickets and they havent mailed them yet. Like when you buy the bar of chocalate and open it you find out then. Am I right???

I got an email today from a Bonnaroo.com address, here's part of it. I hope ya'll will understand my wariness in sharing all the info.
Congratulations, Joey!
You have been selected as one of the three lucky winners of the 2007 Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival Golden Tickets! You will be receiving your official confirmation in the postal mail shortly; this email is to inform you...
I will post a pic when I get whatever is coming my way. Here's to infinite Bonnaroo.

I went and looked at the rules and regulations and found this:
"Winner Selection; Notification; Conveyance of all Rights to Entry: Winners will be selected at random by the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival on March 1st 2007. Winners will be drawn from all eligible entries received. All decisions of the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival are final in all matters relating to this sweepstakes. Odds of winning depend upon the number of eligible entries received. Winners will be required to sign a release and to verify their age to receive the prize. Prizes must be claimed by providing proper identification forms within 3 days of notification or an alternative winner will be drawn. Winners will be notified by Email. If a winner cannot be reached after a reasonable effort has been made, or if an entrant is found to be ineligible, an alternate winner may be selected using the judging criteria specified above. "
Seems that the winners would have already been notified but maybe someone did not claim it and you got it by default. OR - maybe it is a scam
Who knows? I really hope it is for real because that would be just awesome for you - sad for me - but awesome for you
"when do the notification emails get sent out to the winners? has it already been done? can i assume i didnt win? haa. also when will it be announced officially who won? thanks a lot!
Thank you for your interest in Bonnaroo. The email you receive for the ticketing shipment (with the tracking information and ticket number) will be the thing that tells you whether or not you've won. So basically, you'll know when you get one. Good luck! Best, Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival www.bonnaroo.com "
so i guess we'll be getting our ticket information within the next 3 days.
Aha - after reading through that other thread - I have a theory - the email FROM Bonnaroo in reply to someone's inquiry said

Bend your mind around this - they are going to send you the tracking info no matter what - you BOUGHT a ticket - they have to ship that to you - I bet when they send your tracking info for the ticket you BOUGHT - then they will tell oyou if you won and that is when you have to provide identification so that they can ship the Golden Ticket to you

maybe when they release that stuff, artist additions will happen

If you're questioning whether the email is really from Bonnaroo, I'd probably be able to tell based on the email headers, I do that stuff for a living. Faking the "From" address on an email is trivial, faking the headers is not. PM if you're interested. I might not be able to be 100% sure, but I'll probably be able to tell.
