Ozzfest is free, but..

I cannot seem to get those free tickets.

Heres what I am supposed to do:
1. Get a code from Jagermusic or ozzfest.com or monsterenergy 6 pack. Got it.
2. login to livenation.com/ozzfest.
3. Select the date you want to go to ozzfest.
4. Click Redeem Code.

well, I try the last step and I either get a blank page or a time out (the page cannot be found).

now, when I do not get a blank page, I get a half-built page with a funny message telling me to type the verification code which is a picture with letters.

the problem is, the verification code loads from a different server which times out. There is no verification code to type in.

so once you are over that obstacle, you'll be directed to another page with even more information to fill out: your home address, name, etc.

once you do that, you can click submit (if it ever loads), and hope your submission doesnt time out. Uploads generally take longer than downloads.

So, good luck to anyone wanting the free tickets. I am throwing in the towel.

And If you do get some and you have extras for the Camden, NJ show, let me know. I'll pay up to 30 each for a pair. I would rather pay for these tickets than to go through this.

It's free.

There's probably a fair chance that the servers involved were not really designed to handle the kind of traffic they're likely getting...

Yep. Thats what I was thinking. Especially when I checked back and saw I made it to the form but it timed out!
So some friendly advice: stare at your monitor for 40+ minutes if you really want the free tickets. You only get 5 minutes to enter your information. I guess it is alot like standing in line.
