HW: Hawkfest tickets

[Keith Henderson]

Hi...

Alright, where the hell are they?  Has ANYBODY received their ticket in the mail?  The new FAQ on the Hawkfest site at hawkwind.com is conveniently devoid of any information about exactly when tickets will be mailed out.  I wrote to the address (Kris' mum, I guess) from which I received the last email, asking about when they might be going out, and hoping that they would actually send it to where I currently am, as opposed to where I was over 3 months ago when I ordered the bloody thing (it hasn't arrived there either, so my Mum tells me), but I received no reply.

Why don't they just NOT send out tickets in the mail, but rather just do a print-your-own barcode thingy through your online order form, and then just give you the commemorative ticket as a collector's item when you actually arrive and show your ID at the gate?  (Since they don't seem to be able to get around to having them printed for MANY MONTHS.)  You know, such technology must exist now to handle that, even for a bunch as incompetent as our friends at HW Mission Control.  :)

Yours cynically...Keith H.
