Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
I have been trying to get tickets to see Trump tomorrow in Virginia. The website says they sent a text message to my cell phone with a verification code. I have never received any messages from them. Below where you type in the code and confirm it, there is a note saying the message could take up to 5 minutes to arrive and has a count down time to "Resend verification code." I have been hitting that button every hour since 10:00 pm last night. Is this normal? Should I keep trying or does this mean they are out of tickets and I should give up?
When I went a few years ago, the "tickets" seemed to be only to estimate the size of the venue. No one ever asked for them, but the event was outside. Perhaps they are needed for inside events, but I heard that it was first come first served, which is why so many people arrive way too early to get in line.
Thank you for your reply. I had given up hope of getting in when a little while later, I got a notification giving me instructions for the rally. I'm going to see Trump tomorrow! My first rally!
So exciting, you will be wired afterward! So many patriots to talk to!
