Well everyone by now may have tickets or hopefully will by the end of the day. Now they all came the same way...by someone from UPS.
Some may have just gotten them at the door when they came home but maybe you were able to great the UPS deliverer. So how did you freak out/great the UPS person?
I had been waiting all day for my tickets yesterday and was hopeing by the time I got home at 4:30 they would be there...well they wern't and I was bummed out. Well at around 6:00 I was heading out with my girlfreind and as we are pulling out from the street he was walking up my house. I pretty much was like "I need to get that" and ran up the hill my yard is on to get it. I was like "Oh thank you, thank you for bringing these. I've been waiting all day for this!!!" He just gave me the weridest look and was like ok and handed them over. I just ran away saying wooohoo. No pictures or anything but I know he hasn't seen anyhting like that in a while.

I said the same line "Man, I've been waiting all day for these" - he just sort of grunted and handed me the thing to sign and walked off... not a real friendly character; and he had this weird 5 o'clock drunk shadow going on like he'd been at the local pub haha.
I wasn't home, The Spouse was and he's pretty laid back so he probably said "thanks man" and let him go. I on the other hand jumped up and down multiple times because they came a day earlier than I expected. Yaaaayyy! ;D
I was not freaking out but gettin worried seeing how my friend, who had his ticket mailed to my house, and his had gotten to my house like at 9 in the morning. I ordered mine early bird, and he ordered his late. 6 rolls around and its still not at my house. finally at 7 he shows up im like 'thank god, i didnt think you were gonna show' he just smiles and hands me the package and walks off.

I opened the door with a great big smile on my face and said "I'm so happy to see you!"
She gave me one of the most bored and distainful looks I've ever recieved and handed me the electronic thing to sign. As I signed it, I said "I've been waiting on you all day." She just smirked, handed me the envelopes and walked away.

I take it UPS people don't go through any customer service training - hence, they drive their trucks like roadhog maniacs. FedEx people are slightly friendlier - sometimes.

I had a very busy day on Thursday (when my tickets came) I had to take my mom to the doctor, take my brother to work, and errands to run. I forgot my cell phone so I had to stop by the house. I was there for a total of 20 minutes and that's when the UPS guy showed up. I heard the knock and was like... "No way". I grabbed my camera and flung open the door like a madwoman and started jumping up and down. I said "Do you know what these are?!" and of course he didn't. I say "Bonnaroo Tickets!!!" he's like "Oh, who's playing this year?" (cool huh?) So I tell him the headliners and then try to take his picture but my camera's lens won't come out. I figure it's the batteries so I ask him to wait a sec. He said it was cool so I hand him the 'Roo schedule and tear my house apart looking for batteries. I'm running around, the dog is freaking out, and he just watches the whole thing with a big grin on his face. I finally find some after ripping apart my kid's toys and the camera still won't work. So I didn't get a pic but he was super cool about it and sorta cute too.
I'm borrowing mom's camera now so I'm good now. Don't buy a kodak!

I didn't have to sign, or deal with the perpetually cranky UPS delivery person either. In a risky but fruitful endeavor, I had them leave it on my porch no signature required. My tickets sat exposed to the elements of downtown Denver for 2 full hours before I got to them.
I have a front desk in my bldg., so I have a middleman after the UPS. So when I got home and saw no package, I went up to my place to check the status on my package, it said it had been delivered an hour earlier, I started freaking out just a little and my heart was beating doubletime, so I run downstairs and still see nothing in my in-box, the person at the desk could see my panic, and said that not all of the packages had been sorted, so it was probably there (my bldg. holds more people than most small towns), she tells me to come back in 20 minutes, so I come back, I still don't see it, so she starts digging through a huge mountain of packages, and I tell her it is probably in a big flat envelope, she finds it shortly and I looked like I had just won the price is right. I would have taken her picture, but I left my phone at work in a rush to get home and get my tickets.
I stayed home Thursday night just so I could get my tickets Friday morning... Well I was sleeping soundly when I heard the rumble of the UPS truck Friday morning, so I jumped up and looked out my window.... Sure enough it was UPS, but.. the truck was DRIVING AWAY!! Fortunate enough I ran outside and found my tickets safely resting on my front step!!
I know it would be tragic, Troo, but if your goat ate your ticketgs, that would be the best story ever.
As for my UPS man -- he beat me home on Friday and apparently, somehow, my delivery became signature only. Then the jerk didn't get the info entered before 7:00pm, so I couldn't have them rerouted to my work on Monday. Hopefully, I'll make it home on time Monday -- otherwise, I'll have to have them sent to the local UPS depot and pick them up. I'm not happy.
There's no way I was gonna have UPS leave my tix on my porch. I was afraid my goat would eat them. She's chewed on several packages before.
'excuse me superfly, can you send me another ticket? My goat ate it.'
that would be soooo terrible to have happen. I know they say no refunds or that madness but I wonder if there is any circumstance in which they would replace a ticket? A situation so nuts (and provable) that they would have to be like here's a new one
sorry... off topic. I just called the front desk of my building, and my friend Roy (58 yo 'nam vet who works at the desk) is going to be keeping my ticket safe and sound in his apartment for me....
i was sooo excited that the lady said "what in the world is in here, ive had aton of these and people have been chasing me around east nashville all day - flagging me down. ive been stopped and people have been calling uUPS to see when ill be at their houses" hahhahahah so i told her. she said "ohhhh explains the crazy people" hahahha she was pretty cool and interested
Ran to meet my UPS man at the truck. Thanked him breathlessly and repeatedly. He was a very sport and very friendly. Did not attempt a photog as did not want to infringe upon his inalienable rights.

A note was left on my door Thursday afternoon saying that I could sign that piece of paper for my tickets. The next morning I left the note on the door hoping he would come by while I was at work. When I got home, my boyfriend said he didn't come, but took the paper down off the door. We left to buy some supplies for Roo, having every intention of leaving the note on the door...but we forgot.
As we were pulling up to the apartment I realized we forgot to put the note back on the door. I was freaking thinking that he would not leave it and we wouldn't get it until Monday. But, the wonderful UPS man that he is, left the package at the door.
My UPS man rocks. He even drove back to our apartment once because the box he delivered was beat all to hell and was opened and he wanted to make sure the contents inside were ok. I love my UPS man, and I was looking forward to seeing him that night, but we didn't cross paths.
My tickets arrived at my boyfriends house. I was suppose to be back in town by now but got delayed. He had the honor of opening the packages. When i drive back up tommorow, I dunno I'l be so happy to see him and to finally hold the tickets I might have sex on them ha!
