Well, i don't know if you guys got your wristband (i did today), but if you look at the osheaga twitter and facebook, they're getting so much hate for how late the wristband are.
Now there's apparently a big line up outside the bell center as well, and a lot of people are confused. A lot of people are coming in town friday only, so expect a BIG line at will call friday at the festival.
In the confirmation email, they say they'll be send 1 months before the event, then they say that it was sent later to fight resellers, then they say they was a ''logistic problem'', and now there's about 30 000 peoples with no wristbands who will have to line up at the bell center today or tommorow, or at will call friday.
Sooo.... hoppefully you got your tickets or are able to plan accordingly.
This is a pathetic situation that will probably hurt osheaga's image (especially with a new festivals on ontario).

Wondering where you get 30K? It's 45K per day, with at least 2/3 of that being 3 day pass holders... I know it's bad, But I doubt it's that bad. People who are displeased are a lot more vocal (understandably) than people who happily received their wristbands. Every festival has these issues along the way. Am I happy I have mine - absolutely yes. Will it hurt them significantly in future, probably not.

Haha, you right sorry i just needed to vent a bit. instead of 30k, i should've said a big load of people. They posted something on their facebook this morning and the comment section is a mess www.facebook.com/osheaga?fref=tsNow some people are told they can't go to bell center to pick it up and have to wait friday, someone said he got a phone call than the wristband he received is now invalid and has to pick it up friday, there was a long line even before the door opened, lots of people are coming in town late today/tomorrow morning. and it looks like osheaga aren't answering the emails/phone calls from the people and only replied to 2 facebook comment saying basicaly nothing. The lapresse article says that even though osheaga says they shipped the wristbands 2 weeks ago, poste canada says they posted the wristbands july 23 (thursday from last week). this is great.
