Contest: Win Tickets to Voodoo Fest
- story THE FADER
Every year we’re always amazed by how the Voodoo Fest manages to mix national megatalent with local musicians, it makes for a festival that is not only different than most, but also gives us the chance to be like, Yeah after I catch the Meat Puppets I’m going to go check out the New Orleans Bingo! Show. Diversity! The lineup this year is pretty out there, you can catch Eminem and D12, The Pogues, Kiss, and if it’s your thing, Widespread Panic plus the rest of the ridiculously packed lineup, which you can see here. Hit us in the comments for your chance to win tickets, and remember to use a legit email address.

October 15th, 2009 at 1:31 am
Gimme dem tickets.
October 15th, 2009 at 3:07 am
Sick. Totally sick. Voodoo is unlike any other festival. Mad respect for the person that came up with this line-up. I want to them all but my top five are definitely Em (heard he’s playing with a full band & D12), Gogol, Silversun, Flaming LIps and KISS on Halloween is too silly to miss. Pick me!
October 15th, 2009 at 9:42 am
It has always been my dream to check out Voodoo Fest. I love visiting New Orleans and I think its a perfect place for a show of this caliber. Its so worth the 6hr drive from Houston. I wish everyone good luck but im wish more for myself!
October 15th, 2009 at 9:48 am
amazing line up….would be there in a heart beat!!!
October 15th, 2009 at 9:51 am
Parlay these free tix with a trip to Drago’s and it would be the ultimate weekend.
October 15th, 2009 at 10:45 am
The line up this year is the best Voodoo has ever seen! I would love to go!
October 15th, 2009 at 12:08 pm
Wellllllll! After having a muddy experience at ACL, I deserve something “normal” now. I WANT TO GO to Vooooooooooooodooooooooo! Road trip, with Gogol and Janelle Monae or freaking JUSTICEEE blasting in the car on the way to NO – now, that is my plan! All YOU guys gotta do is pick me! Thank you. See you there
October 15th, 2009 at 12:16 pm
I missed VF last year, but I had a blast in NOLA for Halloween anyway. I wanna go!!
October 15th, 2009 at 12:35 pm
PLEASE PICK ME!!!!!
IM DYING TO SEE JUSTICE AND THE BLACK KEYS!!!!!!!!!!
October 15th, 2009 at 3:08 pm
these tix would make my LIFE (at the very least my year!). I’m going to pray to the festival gods now.
October 15th, 2009 at 3:22 pm
i would love to goto NOLA without a natural DISASTER occurring while i’m there !!!
(( VOLUNTEER, American Red Cross, National Disaster Relief Team, LOGISTICS ))
(>Katrina // Rita = 14 weeks & Gustav // Ike = 4 wks<)
This festival will just fkn ROCK!
October 15th, 2009 at 4:05 pm
Hi FADER TEAM. I hope that all is well! I love your magazine! I read it every month and when I am done reading it, I share it with my friends! Anyways, I would love it if you all would give me free tickets to Voodoo Fest in New Orleans! Here are some reasons why I would love to go:
1. BLACK LIPS (and others)
I work at a concert venue at Wash U in St. Louis called the Gargoyle, and we tried to get the Black Lips to play a special Halloween show at Wash U, but they declined because they were already booked for Voodoo Fest. I would really love to see the Black Lips in NOLA for Halloween. They are one of my favorite bands and I hear that they can put on a great live show. I also would love to experience Justice, Mate of States, and the Flaming Lips. These are some of my favorite artists and it would be great to finally see all of them! I also hear that the Flaming Lips put on a great great show! I also want to go to experience some new bands/artists. Music festivals are a great way to get into new music and going to Voodoo Fest would expose me to tons of great established and upcoming bands!
2. BOURBON, VOODOO, JAMBALAYA
I also really want to go to New Orleans as well. I have never been there but I would love to go because I am intrigued by Bourbon, Voodoo, and Jambalaya. I also hear New Orleans is unlike any other city in the world in terms of culture and atmosphere. Please Please Please give me this chance to experience New Orleans.
3. I NEED TO RELAX
I have so much work to do this month, and being able to go to Voodoo Fest would be the perfect way for me to relax and unwind after a long month of papers and exams. Going to Voodoo Fest would help me beat my imminent Sophomore Slump! Please Pick Me! I need this. I hope that you seriously consider giving me tickets to go to Voodoo Fest. I would REALLY appreciate it if you did!
(I hope that this message doesn’t sound too desperate, even though desperate is kind of what I am going for!)
October 15th, 2009 at 5:14 pm
I never get to do anything fun because I have to work at the 40 Watt on Halloween. Last year I got puked on by someone dressed up like a box of Franzia (seriously.) Please pick me. That is all. XOXO.
October 15th, 2009 at 5:27 pm
Please let me get the Tickets to Voodoo Fest. I’ve never been to New Orleans plus I’ve been a fan of The Fader since the first issue with Beck and D’Angelo on the cover.
PLeeeeeeaaaassssse!!!!
October 15th, 2009 at 6:00 pm
You also should pick me because I didn’t refer to New Orleans as “NOLA”. Real talk.
October 15th, 2009 at 7:48 pm
I cant afford this otherwise. Music is what makes my heart beat, and this trip would be the illest thing to happen to me in a while. With school and work I couldnt go to Bonnarroo, Lolla, or any other the other festivals this year. To be able to see Em, Justice, and Widespread in the same venue would make my year. Plus im tryin to get my boys name out there on his music.
October 15th, 2009 at 9:36 pm
I’m a poor, stressed law school student who is from Detroit, loves Eminem more than breathing, is obsessed with all forms of music, has never been to New Orleans, and would do literally anything to experience Voodoo 2009.
October 15th, 2009 at 10:07 pm
I am a 21 yr old mother & college student, out of any money for anything extra & REALLLLLLLY want to go to the voodoo fest, mostly to see EMINEM. He never really everrrrrrrrrrrrr comes down here and I reallllly reallly am out of luck buying any tickets because of the money situation. I would appreciate getting tickets SO SO SO much. It would mean alot to me!
October 15th, 2009 at 10:08 pm
add on, yes I live in New Orleans… so it hurts to know he is right by me but I don’t have a ticket to see EMINEM!
October 15th, 2009 at 10:11 pm
I am originally from the Greater New Orleans Area (Born & Raised) and have been moving around for work since ‘05. I am currently living with my cousin in NYC (also a native to NOLA) and we both need to get home for Halloween and get to this incredible, insanely packed with talent, down-the-bayou-seafood-gumbo of a music venue–THE VOODOO EXPERIENCE!!! I’m not pulling the Katrina-card(I’ve got a good story)…unless you think it might be of assistance in getting us those tickets and a trip to the Big Easy! I promise to bring back a shrimp po-boy and some crawfish to the powers that be in this decision process!!! OK C’est Bon I guess

October 16th, 2009 at 3:18 pm
OOO OOO PICK ME!
October 16th, 2009 at 11:59 pm
FAder, I have been corresponding with some of your contributing photographers, read your magazine like its a holy book, and am planning on knocking on your door when I’m in NY next month. I know you will have great people in New Orleans for Voodoo and I would love to show them some magical spots (I found NeverNeverLand!) they may miss without a local guide. Hell they can sleep in my shotgun, I have blankets and a closet full of costumes
Regardless, ima eat eminems til my lips turn black then funkadelic my way over to miss pussycat’s house….ya heard meh?!
October 17th, 2009 at 1:00 am
As a 38-yr old father trying to stay hip, this would surely earn me some cool points with my 17-yr old daughter. Showing her a good time at Voodoo is just what I need to bring us closer and have some fun. I would love to surprise her with something like this!
October 17th, 2009 at 10:06 am
Hey, I would love to win the tickets, my friend is going and has not purchased tickets.
October 17th, 2009 at 10:55 am
I have attended Voodoo Music Festival for the past 4 years. It is the most amazing experience. It would be AWESOME to win tickets to this event in the greatest city on earth. Thanks for the opportunity. Toni Schaubhut
October 17th, 2009 at 8:34 pm
I have always wanted to see more then half of these people…never was allowed to never had money entered every contest each of them had still havent seen any. now that im older yet still broke, winning these tickets would be the opportunity of a lifetime.
October 18th, 2009 at 10:52 am
I would love to share this amazing experience with my sister. She has never had the opportunity to experience Voodoo Music Festival. Since it is taking place in the most amazing city on earth, I think this would be the perfect time to show her what a phenominal music festival is all about…. and WORSHIP the Music. Toni Schaubhut
October 18th, 2009 at 2:09 pm
I’m a soon to be 19 year old female. My best friend has VooDoo tickets this year, and every year he brags about his experience. At first, I didn’t think I would be able to go, but now I can. Only, I’m a struggling college student who lives on her own and can’t afford such. I would love to experience VooDoo with my best friend, as I plan to join the Air Force upon the ending of summer. This would be out last big event together.
<33
October 18th, 2009 at 8:30 pm
We are already going to NOLA for Halloween weekend and would love to add the festival to our experience! This is our first return to NOLA since Katrina and we are bringing some NOLA virgins to share our love of the city and culture with! We have done Bonnaroo and Rothbury and want to see a festival NOLA STYLE! If I show some skin in the spririt of Burbuon Street can I win the tickets!
October 19th, 2009 at 2:03 pm
It would be amazing to win tickets to voodoo! I have never been, but I heard it is amazing!
October 19th, 2009 at 3:38 pm
My friends have tickets and I would love to be able to go with them rather than milling around NOLA. Not that it isn’t great fun too, but I would like to stay with my friends. Please!
October 20th, 2009 at 12:57 pm
Looks good to me.
October 20th, 2009 at 4:27 pm
I think voodoo music experience would be the perfect place to propose, Help me make it happen!
October 20th, 2009 at 10:19 pm
Who Dat!!! My Honey just got home after nearly a year in Irac. How awesome if I won this for him!
October 20th, 2009 at 10:27 pm
I am already going to NOLA for Halloween anyway, and would love some tickets to Voodoo!! I’m from New Orleans, but had to move.

October 21st, 2009 at 5:53 pm
The sissy bounce folks are closing out the weekend- that show will be unreal. I want those tickets.
October 21st, 2009 at 5:56 pm
I’m a 504 resident. Even though we get spoiled with awesome music and parades on a weekly basis, voodoo is still an awesome time.
October 21st, 2009 at 6:40 pm
I am in the army and I’m always on the go. I have never seen George Clinton live and always miss him when he comes around. I would love to see his funking band play. Thanks
October 21st, 2009 at 9:32 pm

Thanks for the chance!
October 22nd, 2009 at 12:08 pm
Hey! Like MANY out there…we are too broke to get the tickets.

Please give my boyfriend and I the well deserved break we need…havn’t done anything awsome since we bought a house a little over a year ago!! ahhhhhh!!!!!!! Thanks for this cool opportunity
October 22nd, 2009 at 12:41 pm
We really, really want to go this year. We are NOLA natives and have been every year up until Katrina. Life changes have prevented us from going since then but we would LOVE to go this year. We can’t afford it because of our new beautiful baby angel! Please, please pick us, my husband can’t wait to see Eminem!
October 22nd, 2009 at 4:24 pm
my boyfriend and I try to go every year, but this year we cant seem to scramble up enough money to get there. i would love to win tickets. good luck everyone.
October 22nd, 2009 at 11:49 pm
Dear the Powers That Be,
The lineup this year is staggering: Black Keys, Flaming Lips, Justice, Jane’s Addiction, Rebirth, Mutemath, Eminem, Widespread…Halloween in New Orleans…you gotta be freakin’ kidding me?!?!
Those tickets will be used to the fullest extent of the law and maybe beyond if ya’ll pick this email! Give us a reason to go home to the best city on earth and we will make sure your pick is (not) wasted!
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:07 am

I am 48 years old and have never seen Kiss before!! I would love to pretend I’m 15 again and party at the Voodoo Fest!!! Please, pick me for the voodoo fest tickets!!!
October 28th, 2009 at 9:12 pm
I have a story to tell.Igo to Voodoo every year being a native of da N.O. Usually I get in free through the booth workers(friends with alot of them).Well this year they are crackin down on that issue by not giving out the wristbands to the workers(so they wont be able to pass me one through the fence)!Now being the poor man that I am I will not be able to purchase the way overpriced tickets and therefor will not be attending Voodoo this year!!!!! Here is my pitch>I am going to try and sneak into Voodoo fest with some sneaky ninja moves,witch will probably end badly for me!Could get caught,go to jail,maybe slip on the fence and die a true Voodoo soldier! As cool as all that sounds,Iwould rather win some tickets from THE FADER and tell all my friends about THE FADER!So what do ya think guys,can you help out a true VOODOO veteran and possibly save a mans life????
