What happened in the past is you'd get an email and they wanted the name, address and I think phone number (maybe not) of each person. They don't send tickets but they have a list of people and you have to bring ID and you have to be on the list. Last year all the LA county people got tickets and the rest of us didn't. Who knows this year. If someone got tickets and wanted to transfer them, then they needed our info to email in to the contact. It isn't very organized, that's for sure.

They can tell your general location, or rather, the location of your ISP server, from your IP address. It's possible they are capturing that when you hit the 'enter' button on their form request page.

I'm on AOL. Not sure the server would be that specific. Anyway, I'm not that far away and have managed to make the drive two previous years.

Bonza-- but this is CBS. I'm amazed they've figured out how to get us live feeds using tin cans and string...

Justin - LOL - what was I thinking? Well then, we have to back to the first question, which was, how do they get "eligible" from giving your name and e-mail address? Rhetorical. No need to answer. ETA: it's monkeys and a dart board, isn't it?

nope...i think Bonza is on to something with the ip....you would think they would realize that OC and riverside are in LA's backyard!! I wish there was a spot to write and say 'hey! we filmed a segment for you all way past the BB house, so if we can drive there we can drive to the lot!!"

Surely they can't go by IP address. I'm in San Francisco, but my IP sometimes shows Atlanta. heh

FYI-- I just got an official email that I am in the finale, but this is through my source-- but I would assume that means the list is final and notifications are going out today.

Did anyone who signed up through CBS.com get an email back? I haven't heard back from them yet.

Nothing yet. Justin, glad you have an actual email this year and if you are the only one, I know you will report back. I haven't gotten email for hours.. I sure hope aol isn't being balky right now. I've never gotten notice very far in advance and listening to the feeds, I know boogie is lobbying to get more seats than he should and already assured Erika she could do the same.. Keeping fingers crossed here!

Here's my addy: Lanzee33@aol.com Of course, I still am doing happy dance!! Plus keeping fingers and toes crossed here! Hey, Heaven45! YOU ROCK! Justin, I am glad that you got it. Have a great ball! U rock! \lm/

Nothing today, either. I suspect they are still negotiating with the HG and families to see how many of that sort of audience member there will be and then determine how many vip tickets with the few leftover spots offered to us, if any. Justin, maybe you will get into the wristband crowd this year

When did you all sign up? Just curious if it's a first come first served sort of deal. I signed up for one ticket several days ago (no one I know likes BB and they tease me horribly about it!). Does anyone know what City it will be held in? Burbank?
