Contest: Win Tickets to Outside Lands in San Francisco
- story THE FADER
If you’re in the San Francisco area, or just really want to go for a long drive to see three days of music, then you are in luck because we’ve got a small handful of tickets to give away to Outside Lands, also known as the festival that has A WINERY SHOWCASE CALLED WINEHAVEN. But you’re not there for just the wine, you want to see the music, including but not limited to: Deerhunter, Bat for Lashes, Extra Golden, Os Mutantes, Band of Horses, M.I.A., Modest Mouse and like a billion more. There’s also the headliners: Pearl Jam, Tenacious D, Tom Jones (unclear on why or how but sure why not), and Dave Matthews, who, on a personal level, we are not especially amped on, but since we’re mentioning him anyway we’d like to direct you to this fascinating GQ Q+A by former FADER editor Will Welch, in which Matthews’ appeal is finally explained. Anyway! Hit us in the comment section of this post if you want to win, and remember to use a real email address so we can actually hook you up with tickets.

I want tickets please…
I was born in San Fran.
Jumped on stage with MIA @ all 3 of her concerts I’ve been to and I would love to make an attempt once again. I’m up in Vancouver BC and I would gladly drive or fly down for this.
Thanks,
Andi.

August 19th, 2009 at 3:10 pm
Outside Festival Tickets would be very cool
August 19th, 2009 at 3:12 pm
Hi, I live in LA and I NEED to get to this festival. I went last year and it was the most amazing experience right in the heart of the city. The economy has me down right now, but that will not keep me from seeing Portugal The Man, Bat For Lashes, & The Dead Weather. Maybe it will help pick my spirits up. Please help in any way you can. Even a one day ticket for Saturday would be overwhelming. Cheers!

Coming from Indiana to stay in Berkeley for that week. Would be a great transition from lollapalooza to monolith
August 19th, 2009 at 3:17 pm
I’m a nerdy plant biologist at UC Berkeley that needs to unwind for cheap.
August 19th, 2009 at 3:20 pm
I just moved back to the bay area from the boring, non musical state of New Mexico and it would be really amazing to be able to go to Outside Lands and check out one of my must see acts ever, BAT FOR LASHES!!! The rest of the lineup has some of my faves on it too like M.I.A., Band of Horses, TV on the Radio and The Mars Volta! This would be awesome to compare to Coachella which I’ve been for the past 4 years and would make an amazing experience for someone who wants to take in some Bay Area! Will you be setting up a Fader Fort?! ; )Thanks FADER!!!
August 19th, 2009 at 3:21 pm
I would be absolutely gratefulfor tickets to this festival. I have been looking for an any reason to take my girlfriend on a long overdue trip to frisco to visit her family and this would be an awesome reason for us to go!
August 19th, 2009 at 3:21 pm
I just want to show Jason Mraz my dick.
August 19th, 2009 at 3:24 pm

August 19th, 2009 at 3:39 pm
I would love to go to Outside Lands. I live in San Diego and my girlfriend goes to school at Berkeley, so I would love to have an excuse to drive up, visit her, and watch some amazing music.
August 19th, 2009 at 3:44 pm

yesssss
August 20th, 2009 at 2:15 pm
I would love to me considered for a pair of tix, and here’s my plea:
Living down here in Los Angeles, “it’s not unusual” for us to make the drive to Coachella, but I’d rather drive up to NorCal on a Band of Horses or a Silversun Pickup to get a change of Atmosphere—even if it is Dead Weather. And driving sure beats flying there with an Extra Golden, Albino, Blind Pilot that’s hell-bent on dropping Dirtbombs on Mastadons in the Mystic Valley. And though soaring with the Dodo’s is a plus, I fear the Midnite landing even if there is a Big Light on the Groundation, but I digress.
Speaking of digression, I was on such a Morning Bender the other day that I actually watched TV on the Radio. I really must Ween myself off the Tea Leaf Green vodka. It comes in those new Built to Spill containers made by Autolux and is sold rather cheaply by the Thievery Corporation. I recommend drinking it in moderation though. Once I over imbibed while working as a Street Sweeper in Portugal, and I caught Dengue Fever from a bunch of Heartless Bastards trying to Cage the Elephant with a Modest Mouse on Orleans Ave.
Sorry to go M.I.A. on you there; my flights of fancy can be a Mofro. I just want to show a little bit of the Duke Spirit, and take my friend Lila Downs to the Sambada dance off where she an I might get Kinky with a West Indian Girl. I mean, if Matt & Kim can do it with Bettye LaVette, why can’t we do it with Lenka? I’m no Incubus, but I think I might lure her away from that Deerhunter, Ryan Bingham, with a bowl of Black-eyed Peas. Plus, if I have tickets to the Outside Lands Festival, she might like to see DMB, Pearl Jam, The Mars Volta or Tenacious D. I sure would.
Thank you for your consideration.

I’m a bit past my festival-going peak — I went to Monterey Pop when I was 17, but four decades later I’m not nearly as tuned in to what’s going on musically as I was when younger. Fortunately for me, my 16-year-old daughter has amazing musical taste, and turns me on to some really interesting sounds … something I wouldn’t have thought possible just on the basis of the shlock that gets played on the radio. There really is a ferment in popular music these days that I’d completely overlooked. It would be marvelous to go to this event with her: she really needs to be exposed to a range of live musics (she’s mostly plugged into iTunes), I really need to get my ears blown open, and we could both stand to have some quality dad/daughter time that doesn’t involve homework. Thanks for considering this pitch…
August 20th, 2009 at 2:50 pm
The guy above me. What he said.
August 20th, 2009 at 4:19 pm
I would truly enjoy this experience!
August 20th, 2009 at 4:41 pm
Should be a sweet show. Settling for Street Scene as of now…
August 20th, 2009 at 4:42 pm
Well–not sure if you’ve given away the tics, but as a working mom (married to a working dad) who used to get out regularly to see live music, I now wish I could have saved the $ to take my husband up to SF for this upcoming, amazing weekend of incredible music. I LOVE Modest Mouse, Pearl Jam, The Dead Weather, Thievery Corporation and Tenacious D. My husband recently got into Dengue Fever. This would be a dream weekend for us…no kids (we love em, but come on–everyone needs to rock out), 3 days of music, and time to enjoy it together! I hope I have a shot at these…you’d make my entire year!
August 20th, 2009 at 4:49 pm
Pick me!
August 20th, 2009 at 6:19 pm
I would love to go to Outside Lands so bad!

August 20th, 2009 at 8:57 pm

August 20th, 2009 at 10:36 pm

My sister and I just moved to San Francisco from Los Angeles and are both currently unemployed. We would love love love to win a pair of tickets to Outside Lands. We live in walking distance of GG Park, and we would be oh so sad to not be able to enjoy the amazing music that’s just down the road from our new home. Thank you for considering my plea!
August 22nd, 2009 at 12:40 am
I would love to win tickets, please say its my lucky day…it would mean the world to me!
August 22nd, 2009 at 2:27 am
It’s my birthday on the 29th. A ticket would be an amazing present! I live 20 minutes from san francisco and have never gone to outside lands
August 22nd, 2009 at 6:04 am
i also would like tickets. really want street scene tickets because i don’t want to drive but that’s the price to pay for living in ca.
August 22nd, 2009 at 3:32 pm
Hey!
I would totally love to attend Outside Lands in San Francisco! This would definitely be an amazing experience I would really like to live through and tell!
August 22nd, 2009 at 9:43 pm
I REALLY want to win tickets to this!! My husband is a musician, and some of our best friends are going…but I can’t afford the tix this time!! Saying a prayer, cause I’d love win and be able to surprise him!! ~:)
August 23rd, 2009 at 1:28 am
I would LOVE tickets to Outside Lands this year, please! I have my heart set on going, but I can’t afford to buy tickets. This would be such a great experience for a crazy music freak!
Thank you!

I’d love to win tickets to this event.. I’ve never been to a big festival like this and tickets would be an awesome 21st birthday present, haha!! Really though, I’d enjoy them to the fullest so I think I’m a good candidate
XO, Deeds
August 24th, 2009 at 1:44 pm
I want to win tickets.
August 24th, 2009 at 2:14 pm
I would love to go to this festival. I am unemployed right now and can’t afford to pay for the tickets. Its torture living across the street from Golden Gate Park with the festival going on and no means to go.
August 24th, 2009 at 3:48 pm
I would love to win tickets to this event. It is the only way I could afford to go. Thank you!
August 24th, 2009 at 4:54 pm
Shouting to you from the CO. I was backpacking through California last year and missed the fest by sitting $20 short on a ticket.
I was way bummed when I heard from my roommates how awesome the shows were. I would love to take another trip out there and rock out where people know how to. Much love if you could help bring the funk into my life. Amazing line-up btw! I must see!!!!
Thanks guys!
August 24th, 2009 at 7:02 pm
Wine and Live music! Please pick me! Ooh ooh, me! Pick me! Two of my favorite things in life, and you fabulous, wonderful, sexy people at Fader are just giving it away… My boyfriend told me about this contest, and I just had to enter. Like everybody else who entered(hopefully), we can’t afford the tickets this time. We’ve seen Pearl Jam and Autolux(opened for Elvis Costello) before, and they were both awesome. My boyfriend took me to Dave Matthews before, but I don’t think I had enough wine— he likes them, though. And while I may lose cool points for admitting this, I’d love to see Jason Mraz and Black Eyed Peas. Maybe I’ll get some cool points back if I admit that I like Thievery Corporation and Bats For Lashes, and being a huge Bright Eyes Fan, Conor Oberst would definitely be watched. Plus, my boyfriend is really into the Silversun Pickups, Ween, Mars Volta and anything Jack White, so you beautiful people would be making two people ridiculously happy. So, please pick me! Thank you for the give away and your time.
August 24th, 2009 at 8:27 pm
I’d be happy to make fun of Dave Matthew’s fans and report back if that would be helpful. Any other business that needs attending to I am game for as well.
August 24th, 2009 at 9:10 pm
i would love to go to outside lands
August 25th, 2009 at 12:20 am
i literally live ACROSS THE STREET. I couldn’t go last year because I couldn’t afford it…and alas, again, it is too pricy. I would love to see so many of these bands. I even went jogging today at the track, and theyre already setting everything up..had to dodge equipment!
August 25th, 2009 at 12:58 pm
I would really appreciate a pair of tickets to Outside Lands, please. It’s easy driving distance, I already have the weekend off, and I have friends I could stay with. Thank you.
August 25th, 2009 at 3:13 pm
Hunters Point representative…let me see M.I.A……..pleasssseeeeeeee!big ups to FADER!!!!
August 25th, 2009 at 4:39 pm

August 25th, 2009 at 9:35 pm
America F*$#K Ya!!!

August 26th, 2009 at 12:23 pm
I would love tickets to Outside Lands! I don’t live in San Fran but if I win, I am willing to fly there for sure!
August 26th, 2009 at 12:23 pm
I would love tickets to Outside Lands! I don’t live in San Fran but would definitely fly there for this!
August 26th, 2009 at 3:05 pm
Talk about gettin’ the hook up!
Sooo excited about this fest, but why do they have to make the tix so expensive?? I would love tickets to see these bands! Must sees are TV on the Radio, The Dead Weather and Heartless Bastards. Thanks!
August 26th, 2009 at 3:42 pm
I’ve been every year! Got laid off this year, so can’t afford to go! Please PLEASE hook it up! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
August 26th, 2009 at 4:21 pm
I really want to take my gf to this concert it is her first day off in 13 days of straight work and I would like to surprise her with winning tickets.
August 26th, 2009 at 7:37 pm
I really really want to go to this festival. I want to see Jason Mraz so badly. Please make my dreams come true!! Thanks!!
August 26th, 2009 at 8:23 pm
The headliners are all pretty poor, but I would LOVE to be able to see so many of those lower-tiered bands in the space of a few days!
August 26th, 2009 at 9:46 pm
I have been dying to go to Outside Lands this year, but as a single mother who was laid off recently there is no way I can afford to go on my own. I am really especially interested in Day 3!!! Modest Mouse, Atmosphere, Vanderslice, MIA and Tenacious D!! Please choose me to go and I will give you the best PR of your life at this show and beyond. Thank you.
August 27th, 2009 at 12:39 am
So everyone I know is going to burning man. Which is just ridiculous. This leaves me alone in the city to do as I please, and what please to do is go to outside lands solo and make new friends that are not freaky deaky.
If I don’t win I nominate michael m.
August 27th, 2009 at 1:33 am
Hey, thanks for posting this offer.
Originally I wanted to go to Outside Lands to see Incubus. It’s their only date closer to SF than Santa Barbara. Unfortunately, I can’t afford tickets, but it would really be an honor to go and see this incredible lineup. A lot of the openers are pretty damn bad-ass. I would be ever so grateful if you could hook it up for a student saving up for college. Thank you!
August 27th, 2009 at 1:08 pm
broke times. could really use a couple of sunday tickets to treat myself and a friend.
August 27th, 2009 at 3:20 pm
Have y’all given the tickets away already? If not, I’m #44 and would still love to go.
August 27th, 2009 at 4:03 pm
Send me to Outside Lands prease!
August 27th, 2009 at 7:27 pm
I NEED TICKETS. PLEASE. I WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER. I LOVE YOU.
PLEASE. I LOVE YOU.
I WAS GOING TO GO BUT DUE TO UNFORTUNATE COMPLICATIONS, I HAVE NO LONGER HAVE TICKET. I HAVE A SOB STORY IF YOU WANT!?!??!?!?!? GOOD GOD PLEASE.
August 28th, 2009 at 3:40 am
The last time I was at the polo fields it was 1996 & i was witnessing the tibetian freedom concert. I just got engaged & moved back to the bay to be w/ my future hubby:) I was a teacher in la and I am now looking for a new job.
So my fiancé is working his booty off to support the both us and our bearded dragon chango. I would love to surprise him w/ tix to thank him for all his love and support!He is one awesome dude! If I was chosen I would certianly please the music gods by giving a broke ass couple a few tix to a kick ass concert…of course when I have the funds:)
August 28th, 2009 at 12:46 pm
Jason Mraz is going to be there?!?!?! OMG how can I get tickets to this event?!?! Can I get some tickets please?!?!?
