Foo Fighters and Queens of the Stone Age: Free Show Wednesday (10/29): Vague, Blackberry-Themed Instructions Below
This Just In
The Fighters and the QOTSA will shill a few Blackberries for the sake of free rock Wednesday eve, and that’s perfectly fine by us. Set times unknown. Venue unknown, though Oscar’s saying it’s at the Avalon. Ticket allotment unknown. Blackberry Storm tech specs unknown. What the fuck is actually known? Basically here’s the skinny as we know it, posted on the QOTSA website today:
How To Enter: QOTSA Special Show w/Foo Fighters
YOU MUST BE IN THE LOS ANGELES AREA THIS WEDNESDAY NIGHT, OCTOBER 29TH
Text BBSTORM to 66937 to register for the Launch PartyIf you win, you will be notified by Wednesday at 9am via text message with instructions on how to claim your ticket. You will also be told the location of the show.
Check it out!
You will be required to:
- give your name
- phone number
- present your MOBILE TICKET at the door to gain entry to the show
BlackBerry® Storm™ Party in Los Angeles With Foo Fighters and Queens of the Stone Age 10/29/08ONCE YOU COMPLETE THE REGISTRATION PROCESS FOR THE BLACKBERRY STORM CONCERT ON WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 29th, YOU WILL BE NOTIFED BY WEDNESDAY, OCT 29th at 9 AM TO RECEIVE AN OFFICIAL CONCERT TICKET, ALONG WITH THE VENUE LOCATION AND INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO REDEEM.
There are also a couple screwy clauses about capacity vs ticket allotment, and this ludicrous eye-opener: “The holder agrees not to transmit or aid in transmitting any description, account, picture, video, audio or reproduction of the event or any portion of the event for which this ticket is issued.” It would be a shame for you to get sued for twittering “Foos in teh hizzy thx blxbry strm,” so cross that clause out with your attorney. You may want to send your dad an email or even blog it (shudder to think!)
Most importantly, do not fucking mention iPhones when you claim your ticket. Even if you are using one to show your “mobile ticket” … especially then. Maybe go so far as to complain about the iPhone. We know you love your precious iPhone but shut it, this could rock in a corporate launch sort of way if it pans out. For one night only, you are all about Research in Motion. Good luck.

FooStache in Valencia by Renee
I can confirm that it’s at the Avalon.
I confirm that it is at the Avalon. There’s also an afterparty after too with members of both bands DJing.
The After Party will be more private though right? (As in even if you win a ticket to the show, you won’t be able to get in…)
YAY! I just won!
MSG 1/2: BB STorm Foo Fighters is at 730pm at the AValon Theatre on 10/29. Be 1 of 1st 800 to give ur name & number & show this msg @ door to get in!
MSG 2/2:
Click 2 get ur Mobile Ticket! Save it and show at door to get in!
I didn’t get a ticket. You don’t need one for the afterparty though. See, told y’all it was at the Avalon. Scoreboard!!!!
So if you win do you still need to be one of the 1st 800 to get there?(based on MSG1/2) or are you assured entrance if you get the mobile ticket?
So… where is the after party then? (For those that didn’t get the text for the show entry)
I’m just curious if already having a blackberry as you text above increases or decreases your chances of “winning” a ticket…
You have to go early. I’m sure they overdid it to guarantee capacity.
how early are ppl planning on going? i’m sort of debating this.
Man, if I won this thing I’d be there early with a smile. What’s with all these people who are debating on going or are still “iffy” about it. GO TO THE SHOW!!!
I’m driving up from San Diego and just want to make sure I can get in when I get there.
I got one and used neither a Blackberry, nor Verizon (who is the co-sponsor of the event), fwiw.
is it tickets for you and a gues or just one?
i won a ticket. kind of awkward rolling by myself. if anyone wants to meet up and roll shoot me an email. i live in orange county. derin082@gmail.com
Funny stuff. I can’t wait to turn out and ape the 800 other people who have to go to the concert, solo, with cellphone tickets in their pockets. Maybe it’ll be a breeding ground for swinging singles who dig good music and textmessages…
Do you need to show the image on your cell or can you print it out from the internet?
Because if so…

there you go.
Heather, can you repost that? the link isn’t working. Thanks!
I guess you can only use it once. Sorry.
Is it possible to post again or post it to your blog?
i just got another text msg saying i have to show the txt msg i just received (and not the ticket/web page) to enter. i mean, both are on my phone, so i guess either is fine. man i have no idea what to expect or whether i’ll even get in. i can’t leave work till 6ish so it’s gonna be a bit dicey.
same, charlie. also to further clarify, this message – my FOURTH separate winning notification txtmsg of the day from the mysterious agency known only as 66937, now also says “Msg only good for 1 person. C U There!”
Dammit i hope to meet 66937, that would be cool
Lav IS fRIGGIN hILARIOUS!!!!
rEAD THOSE POSTS AND YOU WILL HURT WITH lAUGHTER.
Entered the Contest.
Got the Texts.
Won Entry.
Just got a car today.
DUI Guaranteed.
Just couldn’t go.
I’m a smart wuss.
They probably texted 8000 to get 800.
After Party sounds cool.
Bet they gave out Blackberries.
Weather is here Wish you were nice.
C U Nextime Foo Universe. Go Foos. Excellent Joint show in Vegas Thursday. I was the 1 wearin’ the HardHat.
I got there at 9pm, got in fine. I’m guessing everyone got in that went. Pat & Dave made a late appearance at the Yeah Yeah Yeah’s DJ gig after the show. Did they show up to their “official” afterparty though?
