Free Stuff Friday: Tickets To See Warped Tour's 15th Anniversary Show! September 4, 2009

I've never been fortunate enough to go to Warped Tour, so I don't have any favorite memories. =[ I almost got somebody to buy me a shirt from this year's, though. Almost.... I still love most of the bands that are playing. =]

I've never been to Warped tour, but I've always wanted to go. I almost got to this year, but I had to work. :( Maybe next year.

When wtk played their new song 4 the 1st time. I screamed like a little girl

My favorite Warp Tour experience would definitely be the first time I went. I saw the Peta2 booth and starting talking to the Road Warriors and Street Teamers they had there and learned about animal rights, vegetarianism, and Veganism. It opened my eyes to what I wasn't seeing on tv or learning in school. I also saw some great bands, got a bunch of free stuff, and went around checking out every booth there. I went home so excited that I brought home stuff from Peta2, Skate Nerd campaign to Free Love Park(R.I.P), Y100(R.I.P) and saw people skateboarding and great bands and so many great things.

my favorite warped tour experience was being in the front of the stage for all time low and getting knocked down, losing my flip-flop, and having to walk around with one shoe.

My favorite warped tour experience was last year. Ma and my friends sunshine played rockband with a few famous people, ran into All time low after the show, made friends with the tour bus drivers so we got to hangout by From First To Last plus other bands, the greatest moment is was during the Shwayze set, when cisco adler jumped into the crowd and sang to me. :) I love warped Tour go Veg!! -Arenia-

My warped experience was last year. Me and my friend Sunshine played rockband with a few local bands, danced in the moshpits, walked into All time low afterwards.. took picture with Alex, and during the Shawyze set Cisco Adler jumped into the crowd and sang to me :) I love Warped Tour!! Go Veg!! :)

I have yet to go to the Warped Tour. If I won, this would be my best Warped Tour experience!

so it was me and my two friends abby and kelsey who went to the warped tour show in boston MA. We had to drive about 4 hours to get there because we live in Albany NY. Anyways, the car ride was fun. We burned about 20 cds for the ride. once we got there we arrived kind of late and missed one of our favorite bands, A skylit drive. We were pretty bummed. Especially abby, she loves them. and i felt bad that we missed them so we were waiting in this line thing and nick from a skylit drive was standing there so i was like abby theres nick we should go talk to him. but she was beign a panzy and wouldnt go up to him. so we left and we were just walking around and these guys from a band called hollywood lies attacked us with stamps that said hollywood lies. and when i say attacked i mean like stamped us everywhere. we had at least 6 stamps on our faces. i had 2 on my chest and like 3 on my back. so then after that little charde, we wakked over to where escape the fate wa splaying. thats our favorite band. like they are our life. we got there like and hour and a half before they played to get in the front. we stayed for saosin. i like them but kelsey and abby dont really know their songs. then we had to listne to this TAT band. they went on foreverrrrrrr. and the singer was really weird. she was like grabbing herself and wa slike oh god this crowds making me so fuc*ing wet. im like ? okayyyyyyyy. so finally they ge toff and escape the fate comes on. we went crazyyy. and we were right in the front. it was great. so after that i reallllly wanted to try crowd surfing. so i was like well a day to remember is playing in like 5 minutes lets go over there they have a big crowd. dont get me wrong i like a day to remember but all i wanted to do was crowd surf haha. so were waiting and their was this really tall weird looking kid infront of us in the crowd so i was being myself and messing with him haha. then we herd people start to scream so i turned my attention to the stage where they opend up with downfall of us all. at first the pushing and shoving was okay and i could handel it but as soon as they were like LETS GO! the crowd went nuts. i lost my shoes and i got seperated from abby and kelsey. right before this i was like if we get split up meet by the monster truck. so im like im getting outta here. my feet were getting stepped on left and right and it hurt alotttt. on my way out i got my share kick in the head by the crowd surfers. so im by the monster trusk and i see abby come out of the crowd so im like ABBBBY! she just looked at me like wtf?!? this was abbys first show too haha. she had no shoes either which is pretty scary cause she had sneakers on. so anyways were waiting for kelsey and im liek shit i cant call her. she had my phone and all my stuff cause all we wanted to do was crowd surf. so im like w.e lets go over to brokencyde. so we did and we see kelsey with this girl. shes liek yeah this is angela i had to helop her get out of the crowd. it was angelas first show too i guess. kelsey was tellign us how she got out and shes liek "no one would move so i lied and i was like IM GONNA PUKE and everyone moved to the side." shes a smart girl haha. so we were watchign brokencyde and i honestly dont know alot of their stuff so im like hmmmmmmmm im gonna crowd surf here. i was determined to crowd surf before the night ended. so i did and it was fun. but those security guards are rough. i guess liek after you crowd surf you can only go one way to get back to the crowd and io went the rong way and they guy just spun me around and pushed me. im like ?!? you could have pointed or something, didnt have to manhandel me. so then brokencyde ended and warped was pretty much over :( so thats my story haha. sorry its long.

I've never had the leasure to go to Warped Tour. I kinda feel left out, It wouldve been an amazing experience. Never had the money or time. I do remember the summer of Grade 11. I had a few friends over the day Of warped tour and we all couldnt go so we had a party. It started with me showing my friends "meet your meat" and ended up with alcohol poisoning and an ambulance showing up. OOOh warped tour, how you bring back memories

My best experience was...having my friend freak out in the middle of merto station because she lost her phone. Watching her run around asking random people if they saw it, like a crazy person. When all the while it was in her back pocket.

i was watching the a.k.a.s at the boise date and the lead singer was at the barracade and during dead flowers forever he put the mic up to me to sing!

One of my favorite Warped Tour experiences was getting a chance to help out with the Warped Eco Initiative and then going to watch All Time Low from the side of the stage. Either that or crowd surfing for the first time. :)

I've never been to a Warped Tour Show, so it would be such a great experience for me. I do watch Fuse alot on Tv and I see that they're alot of bands there that are vegans and give away information. I love love love music and Im a vegetarian too. I have friends that are meat eaters and Im trying to convince them to not eat meat and give them information. So by me going for myself to the Warped Tour will make me happy and will also give me the opportunity to get more information.

Thank you :]

My favorite thing is that everyone is equal.It doesnt matter if you dress a certin way or you look different. Same with the bands, all of your favorite bands are in 1 place where there is no band better than another. Its just a place where you meet new people, meet your favorite bands and have an amazing time. And i cant forget, peta2 is there!

I have actually never went to one, so I have no crazy experiences there. I would like to go to this viewing though, so I will tell you a crazy story. Well you know that knew movie Halloween II well me and my friend went to watch it in the movies we got freaked out so then after we went to Victoria's Secret in that Strip Mall. We were acting crazy and we actuall y almost got kicked out of Victoria's Secret. yeah you heard righgt VICTORIA' S SECRET!!!! Thats not my craziest story but my craziest you shouldnt hear ;)

I wish I could go to warped tour, but year after year, even after saving all the money to go, my mom still wont let me.
Even last year, when ALL of my favourite bands were out, I still couldn't go because I was too young.
If I could get this, then I could say that I went to warped, because technically, I did.

This was my first year to Warped Tour, and I loved it. There was this Buddist that knuckled me and I gave him a head and he showed me a picture of a person in half and said "Stay away from the mosh pits cause this is what you will look like if you do" and I was so scared that I had my friends check if anyone looked like that before I went to see a show.. =]

Aww, I want to go so badly! But the sad thing is, I've never had a Warped Tour memory, because I've never been to one. :(

I wish I could, though. Alot of my favortie bands play. Too bad I'm so darn poor. xD

i have nevr been to Warped tour, but when i was 9 years old i saw all of the skaterboarders skating toward it, and I got so excited. i was fascinated by it all. The energy in the air was amazing. i saw a person with a peta2 shirt as well, but I had no ideaa what peta was then. I have learned how to skate since then, and been in love with with it ever since. I belive that Warped Tour is one f the greatest events on the planet, and I wuld love to go to see the movie for it. :D

my favorite warped tour experience was this year at the home depot center. after the concert was over me and 2 friends walked around the fence where all the tour buses were and found an opening. we went in and ended up meeting and getting pics with escape the fate underoath nofx all time low what happened in vegas and some more i think but those were the main ones. it was so amazing and definitely the most fun and memorable warped tour experience!

Ive never been to a Warped Tour show but would love to! Tickets, please???

I've never been, so hopefully, I will win tickets to the one in Portland, OR!!!

who would have thought mverno@roadrunner.com

Seeing A Current Affair!!!

My best friend Abbey and I went this year, and it was my first Warped Tour. I ended up losing my phone in the pit for Paramore, and I was completely devastated. I freaked out, and started crying. My best friends cousin Amy just grabbed her phone and started calling mine every couple of minutes. Finally, someone picked up. He said that we could have my phone back if we went and found him. We had to go from one end to the other, but there he was. Some really skinny guy with a huge afro found my phone. We all hugged him, and he wasn't really sure what to do so he awkwardly hugged us back. It was so funny.

At Warped Tour 2005, I fell while moshing in the mud to Dropkick Murphys. Some guy pulled me up and got me to the first aid tent. The guy came back to check on me at first aid a while later and handed me a t-shirt with all the Dropkick Murphys' autographs! Turned out he was a roadie, and when the band was done playing he grabbed Ken Casey and told him a girl got hurt during their set, and the band was so excited that a GIRL was listening to them (much less MOSHING!), that they signed a t-shirt for me.

My favorite Warped Tour experience was probably partying and dancing with the peta crew and random strangers when Breathe Carolina's set was up. XD

My favorite Warped Tour experience? Hmm, that's a pretty tough question. I'm going to have to think about that.

I think that my favorite Warped Tour experience would have to be going onstage with Underoath. My two friends and I scored VIP tickets to meet tons of different bands before the show, and we got to pick one band to stand on stage with. Underoath was a no brainer. It was probably one of the best experiences of my life. It was amazing to see all the screaming fans, and be in touching distance of one of the best bands ever.

i love peta bread . . . money in the bank

My daughter would love this!

This year was my first Warped and I was volunteering with Warped Eco Initiative. After lugging around bags of recyclables for most of the day, I was able to stand backstage during Anti-Flag's set. It was the most amazing experience of my life. Being able to meet such awesome people, especially Pat Thetic, who is a vegan and simply the coolest person I ever met. Going onstage and feeling the incredible energy, seeing all of the fans in the crowd, it was so amazing. After the set, Pat came back to the Warped Eco tent and he stood next to me while the A.K.As played. Best Warped experience ever.

=( My best friend has been planning to take me to Warped for years, but it has never happened. And both of her parents' hours have been cut at work so I'm not sure if she'll get to go next summer. I would love to be able to take her to this. We would both love it so much!

We were at warped tour this year, and I was soooo excited to see escape the fate live for the first time. Bryan is my vegetarian hero. When just by chance we went to their merch stand. I was shocked to see their bassist there, taking pictures! The epicness of this encounter left me unable to breath, and to my embarrassment, he noticed! So I just stood there all stupid, staring at him, most likely with my mouth open. Then his manager of something started laughing and whispered something to him that I can only assume had something to do with the weird girl not moving right in front of him. They both laughed and left. Now that I reflect on it, I really wish I said hi, or asked for a picture of something.

I went to Vans Warped Tour for the first this past year. Oh my gosh. It was quite amazing.

My favorite experience has to be seeing A Day to Remember live. Crowd surfing, singing along to the songs of my favorite band, and enjoying it with other fans. AGH! Everyone was amped and it was just great.

I loved it. I am so blessed I was able to go, spend time with my friends, and get free tickets. Is that not awesome?

My best experience at warped Tour would have to be when I was watching someone I cant remember who it was cause it was like two years ago but the lead singer went stage diving an landed like right where i was so I got to be in that. Then like 10 min. later the guitarist stage dived and landed like 2 feet from where I was! It was the best time at any concert I ever went to! That would have to be my best experience at Warped Tour

My beset experience at Warped Tour would have to be when i saw ETF! They are my fave band of all time! Im actually listening to them as I type this. But anyways i was in the front! and it was the best time at any concert ive been to! They were like having random little converstions with the croud, and then Craig pointed right at me and started talking to me! even though it was infront of like a TON of other people and he probably will never remember it, it was amazing! Then I got to watch BC13 who are my second fave band of all time! they are amazing live! and se7en is an amazing screamer!!!! That would have to be the best time ive had at Warped Tour!!

This year was my first year going to Warped Tour. I had 3 tickets, one for me and two friends. It turns out that both friends got into a lot of trouble, so I ended up having two extra tickets. I was in a really nice mood and ended up asking my sister and her best friend if they wanted to go. They both freaked out and said "YES!" I ended up finding a ton of my friends and hanging with them the whole time. We went to see Aiden and 3 of my friends ended up getting in a fight during the middle of the show. The show had to stop and they got kicked out. After the show the lead singer of Aiden came up to us. We apologized but he said it was fine and "Sometimes you just have to fight Mother F*ckers!" After that I took my sister and her friend to the merch tables. My sisters friend ended up getting an Escape the Fate foam middle finger. (Her mothers face was priceless when she saw it) The last band we saw was I Set My Friends On Fire (my favorite band!) During the last song in the mosh pit I got hit in the face and my hat and glasses fell on the floor. As I was about to pick them up a girl ran in front of me, picked them up, and thew them on stage. At the end of the show I got someone on stage to grab my stuff. I ended up losing a lens. We stayed in a hotel that night. Watching TV with only one glasses lens was interesting. It was totally worth it, day well spent :P

So this year i went to warped tour in Calgary with my 15 year old cousin because last year i got her hooked on the bands that i went to see this last year, and they just happened to play this year. So while my cousin and i were walking around i saw one of my friends, and i guess he picked up a job there or something because he was walking around handing out these little card things that enabled people to have 3 free downloads of already chosen songs or something, and he gave me a huge handful of these stupid cards. I was pretty much his apprentice for a couple of hours, as i was like frantic to get rid of these dumb cards. I talked to some pretty cool people and even had a half an hour conversation with one of the Peta guys. While my cousin and i were done walking around trying to get rid of the last card, i saw this lone boy sitting beside me on a ledge, so i nicely asked him, "excuse me, would you like a card thingy?" He didn't reply in words, he just simply lifted up his shirt. Under it read, "Free hug?" So, as the nice girl i am, i gave him a free hug, seeing as there are alot of those type running around warped tour. Then he opened his hand, and it read, "free kiss?" As being the not so keen on kissing random strangers type i shook my head and gave him the card thingy that my friend had given me, and he tossed it on the ground. Now, i know that doesn't sound as entriguing as most would like but there is an ironic twist. During the wait between We the Kings and All Time Low, i met a girl who was just as worried as i was that we were going to get attacked in the mosh pit. We instantly started talking and laughing like old friends, and when the band started sure enough we had to pull each other out of the out of control mosh pit the immature boys had started behind us. She told my cousin and i that she came with a boy, but he left her in the crowd alone. After Alexisonfire played i went to find my cousin and my new friend, and she saw her friend who had left her in the crowd to get dragged into the mosh pit and guess who that kid was. You guessed it, the free kiss guy! I don't know if it is as significant as i thought it was, but it is one of my best memories from warped tour.

My favorite Warped Tour experience would have to be from 2007. I attended Warped Tour in Cleveland. The day began as a rather hot day and I was relieved later in the afternoon when it started raining and began to cool down a bit. The rain decided to pick up and before I knew it I was caught in the middle of a torrential downpour. Rain turned to hail and the wind started blowing. One of the video screens at the main stage actually exploded. Bands lost gear, merch, merch tents, etc. People were being herded into trailers. Finally the storm lifted and the music resumed with Coheed & Cambria! Anyone who was there that year will never forget the chaos that was 'Hurricane Vans'.

This year was my first year going to warped tour. my fav memory of this summer was when my friend and i were walking past the white tie affairs tent and we saw the bass player sean p. and we each asked for a picture with him, and during the picture he kissed me on the cheek!! it was amazing!! :) then he put on one of their tshirts they were selling signed it and gave it 2 us!!

my favorite warped tour experience was actually this year. this was my first year at warped tour. me and my friend were really happy that all our fav bands were gonna be there. when we got into the venue we went straight over to There for Tomorrow tent, then when we talked to their bassest, Jay, he actually told us that he remembered us and he told us that he absolutely loved the scrapbook we gave them. we then told him that we nvr got our shirt that was promised to us when we saw them in pomona, he then got on his scooter and when to the side of the tent and told Christian that we nvr got our shirt. So he went to the boxes in the back and got us our shirts. When we got the set times we put up posters for Jac Vanek. Later on in the day me and my friend met Vic from Pierce The Veil, to my surprise me remembered us from the invisible children event we went to 4 months ago. when we went to go see Escape The Fate we were in the very back and then we managed to get to the very front despite all the ppl that were kicking me in the head while they were crowd surfing. i was happy when watching Escape the Fate b/c earlier at the signing b/c we gave Craig a picture frame with me and leila in it and a scrapbook. i was the only one to get a hug from him, my friend got a high-five. We were front row for Attack Attack! and it was an amazing show! while watching There For Tomorrow i noticed that Jay was always watching us...we just thought that he probably did that b/c he knew who we were and barely anyone was watching them. When we saw A Skylit Drive we were near the middle of the crowd and that would have been the worst place to be. After 2 songs we got outta there. We watched 3OH!3 before we had to run to get a good spot to watch Breathe Carolina. On our way to the stage a girl stopped us and gave us VIP passes that said Breathe Carolina on it. When we got to the stage me and my friend were really excited to be front row to see them. The entire time Kyle from Breathe Carolina kept on starting in our direction. i loved their set because after every song Kyle would look into the crowd and say "thank you". By the end of the their set kyle and david climbed into the crowd. when kyle was doing this, i was the only one where his foot was going to go. So when he began climbing into the crowd i was left lifting his foot, since i couldn't do that i ended up getting kicked in the face by his foot and ended up getting cuts on the side of my face. after their set warped tour had ended. then we went over to go meet David, Josh, and Kyle. After we took a picture w/ Josh, we went over to Kyle and saw him take off the shirt he was wearing and give it to a fan. He then he traded it for the girls Hello Kitty Jacket. Since David was closer we went to take a picture with him. when i was gonna take a picture with David i asked him if he would kiss me on the cheek, then he was like "i got a better idea, why dont you kiss me on the cheek?", i just was like "i kiss you?", he nodded. then i said ok and then my friend took the pic. then we went to kyle and then left. when we left we were exhausted. the only thing i regret from Warped Tour was not going to the after party! other than that, i had an amazing time. im glad that this year was my frist warped tour and i have a ton of memories. hope i get picked! this would definately make up for not going to the after party! :)

My son would love this!! He missed the actual tour so he would really enjoy this!!

I think my favorite warped tour experience would be the meet and greet with the bands. A few years agoi was walking around and ran into the band members from big d and the kids table and anti flag. I was so excited to see them and so happy they talked to me. I got my pictures with them and talked for a few min. It was definitly a experience i would never forget.

Well the 1st year I went to Warped Tour I was pregnant and I was not really showing. anyways Katy Perry was up on the Hurley Stage and people started moshing and body surfing. i got kick in the head!!!!! my husband ripped the guy down and started punching him and the other guy got kicked out. and some HUGE girl pushed my husband and me apart and my husband was like dude she's pregnant and the girl told me that I had no right being there. WHAT!?!!?! I paid for my dang ticket!! wtf? But it was still an amazing concert and I will never forget it. Oh and everyone around me and that BOB was like omg are you ok? when she started getting all crazy! warped is crazy!

My favorite experience at warped tour was getting to meet jeffree star!! He caught me staring at him while i was waiting online for an autograph and said "What is it, b****!?"
It was hilarious.
When it was finally my turn to take a picture with him, he stopped posing for a second, and put up a peace sign. Why? Because I'm asian. haha!

i love music,
i love people,
i love people who listen to music,
i love people who make music. :)
thereforeeeee;

i just love warped tour :)

I love yer blog!....thanks for yet another great giveaway!... =D

For the past 9 years, my boyfriend and I have wanted to go to warped tour and have never been able to afford it! These tickets would be GREAT!

I went to warped tour this year. And It was phenomenal! I met so many cool people. That's where I signed the Peta2 mail thing. I was happy! They gave us a Animal testing breaks hearts sticker and I was uber happy! I would love to see the whole thing again. It would be like I'm reliving one of the best days in my life. :D

That would be this year (my first year) when the lead singer of The Maine waved to my dad while he was singing. And when I told one of the bands that they were cuter in person. (=

I have never been lucky enough to attend so this movie would be my chance to make some cool memories.

July 12 was my first time going to Warped Tour, my favorite thing was chatting with the awesome people running the peta2 booth and the TWLOHA booth. Then seeing a bunch of my favorite bands and actually meeting them.

When I was there, I seriously felt the most comfortable I've ever felt in my life, it was like I belonged only there with all the loud music and dedicated musicians and fans.

Best experience of my life.

My favorite Warped Tour experience was the very first time I went, in 2004. I was only 11, and I had actually been taken there by my mom. I know that sounds pretty dumb, but I had the most amazing time. During my first Warped Tour experience is actually where I had first been introduced to PETA. I got a free DVD, that said "Stick This In Your Computer." The next day, I was home, and I did like it said, I stuck it in my computer and sat down to watch it. At first, I lasted about 30 seconds, the clips were absolutely terrible. It wasn't exactly the best thing for an 11 year old to see, but I greatly benefitted from it in the end; because that's what made me go vegetarian. Yes, I was only 11 when I stopped eating meat. That's pretty young, and I'm proud to say that I haven't eaten it since then.

ANTI-FLAG PIT IN SHAKOPEE!!

my best experience at warped tour was when i was at Chiodos in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and i went up and crowd surfed from the way back of the show way up to the front and did wall of death with some of my best friends and then got punched in the nose, it was painful, but the best time of my life.

i haven't been to warped tour, but would love to win!

if i win i would be attending the one in joplin mo

My favorite Warped Tour experience happened in Orlando in 2005. Me and my friends were doing three of the tour dates around our area and we decided to drive straight to Orlando from the previous city, we just figured we'd get a hotel near the venue, rest up, wake up early and head out. Easy peasy, right? Well by the time we got into O-town it was ridiculously late at night and we ended up driving around for hours trying to find a (moderately priced) hotel to stay at. Pretty much every place we tried wouldn't let us check in at that hour so we finally had to settle on a roach motel...and when I say roach motel I mean it. The room was disqusting with a few questionable stains, a very odd stench, and you guessed it, pesky little roaches everywheree. We decided there was no way we could stay the night there but we were tired and pretty much out of options. So what did we decide to do as a last resort? We pooled our money together, went to Walmart, got a tent, drove to the venue where they were setting up and slept (well more like attempted to sleep) in the tent in the parking lot next to the car. We woke up to the sound of people walking by, and a series of comments that ranged from "...Are they SERIOUS?!" to "LOL they have the right idea!". Needless to say none of us were well rested and getting ready for the day was extremely complicated, but we got in the gates and had an amazing time. I remember I got to see and meet so many bands, and it was also the first time I got to stand sidestage (my friend worked for a sponsor that day and they walked us up to see the Starting Line). 2005 was my 2nd year at Warped, and I've gone every year since and will continue to until it stops. This story is just one of the many amazing (and often crazy) experiences I've had. Summer just isn't summer without the Vans Warped Tour.

I've begged and begged to go to warped tour for just about every year since I heard about it. This year my parents finally aggreed I could attend, but it was all sold out in my state.
Now the chance for this would brighten my life and allow me to meet others and tell them about why I chose to go Veg when I was 12 and how it paid off because Peta allowed me to go to such an event.

when i went to warped on the july 25th me a my friends and parents all did the nerd mosh. it was the wierdest, most funniest thing i've done in a long time.:)

i was at warped tour 08 at the norma jean stage and everyone clears the way in the middle of one of their most awesome songs and these two little asian kids with bright green mohawks just jump in and start doing these crazy jet li moves in sequence with each other. it was the craziest thing ive ever seen. they looked like they jumped out of dragonball z!
