alright so my roommate had 2 tickets mailed to his house in cincinnati, his dad recieved the tickets on monday afternoon...that afternoon his dad mailed them to our apartment in richmond, ky. it is now thursday night and the post office said that the mail should've arrived on wed sometime. what does everyone think the chances are of a mail man snagging the tickets??? if this happend it would severely suck, im just praying the bonnaroo gods would not let this happen....any thoughts?!?!
I doubt the mailman stole the tickets. Doing so would cost him his job and land him in federal prison. Wait another day or two, and then call your postmaster general to discuss what might have happened.
If he dropped them in the mail on Monday after a pick up there's a chance they didn't go out 'til Tuesday. Three days isn't unheard of -- wait for tomorrow.

thanks for making me not as paranoid lol...another thing that im thinking is what if he accidentally put them in the wrong mail box, we have like 60 different apts in our complex so it would be hard to track them down, and if someone opened the package and saw a free awesome weekend or a free 500 bucks, i dont think much would stop them from taking advantage of it....
No need to worry just yet but next time make sure they are sent certified mail ($4) and/or with delivery confirmation ($1). Or include insurance. Otherwise you have no recourse. The few extra bucks is worth the peace of mind.

My friend got on a plane last year without her ticket
We thought we'd just try to find one on line... sucks, but what do you do? ???
At the Nashville airport, we walked by the shuttle bus table, and she decided to stop... and then told them her story... and then... they got on the phone...
SO... we went to pick up her NEW ticket at the radio station... it was a green comp replacement one... that's her souvenier ticket
I wouldn't recommend this course of action... but thank God she had her confirmation #...

yea it's just regular us post office mail...the only good thing about this mess though is that neither one of the tickets are mine..mine are nice and secure ready for use lol it would just suck for him and just wanted to find out what other people thought of the situation hopefully they will show up tomorrow......
I think I'm starting to get the bonnaroo feeling cause i got really sad at the thought of someone not being able to go to bonnaroo, and i don't even know you... man i hope you find your tickets

Some smaller post offices take much longer and don't follow procedure at all. Two months ago I sent a certified mail priority mail envelope with tracking to someone and they didn't get it for 17 days. I called the destination post office after 6 days and the package had been sitting there for 3 days. They refused to updated the tracking information and they also would not leave a note on the door of the recipient.
I doubt the mailman stole it. If you don't get them, I bet they may have wound up in the wrong box. While it hasn't happened to me in quite a while, I used to get other people's mail all the time and other people would get mine. Maybe whoever got your tickets will realize the mistake and bring them by soon if that's what happened.

Hope they showup. They likely will.
I second this post...with the value of two tickets that high I would always have a delivery confirmation and insurance on something like that.
in the email the bonnaroo ticket admins send out with your confirmation, they give a number at the bottom that you're supposed to call in case of emergency. try that. my friend's ticket got sent around the US in 07 but the ticket people are really helpful and will try and track it down for you.
You can maybe email Bonnaroo and tell them you lost your tix. If you have the ticket #'s and the tix are attached to your name, they might could cancel those tix and issue new ones at "will call."
Not a likely solution but worth a try. Of course that's assuming your Dad managed to remember the tix #"s.
Man this suck. There's still hope though. But I'd email Roo just in case.
This is exactly what I was worried about when I realized I accidentally had my tix sent to my dad's house in Buffalo and he offered to mail them. I was clenched pretty tight until they arrived via mail a few days later.

This is what I was trying to say before... last year my friend forgot her ticket and they replaced it for her at the radio station no problem at all

thank you everyone for the helpful information, im doing everything i can think of plus some to try and sort this out...were leaving wed night so hopefully we can get this problem resolved for him before then
its saturday and the tickets still did not arrive.......
Ack this really sucks and I don't have any advice to give whatsoever.........
I wonder if you could email the ticket people and let them know what happened and have them void the tickets and overnight you new ones? I would assume if they have your name etc then they would know which ticket numbers went to you?

I think the person above with the story about contacting them then picking up replacements at the radio station has the best idea. Doesn't seem to be that big of a problem for the Roo people to replace them
They have to have contingency plans for 80,000 people, someone is going to lose or misplace a ticket or they are gonna be lost in transit etc.
if they don't arrive call this number. 1-800-594-8499 (Monday through Friday between the hours of 9:00 AM and 7:00 PM) tell them your story, they might be able to help you out and set you up w/ some tickets at will call. thats what they did for me. they're very nice people, and are pretty understanding.
i finally got some kind of answer from the post office....my roomates mom didn't put the apt number on the envelope she mailed the tickets in, so they got returned to cincinnati...they should be back in cincy either today or tomorrow, so we will be cutting it way to close for comfort lol but at least we know where the tickets are now!!! see you all on the farm...BONNAROOOOOOOOOO
;D
