I’ve been hearing this for the past several months, but it took an email from The Buzzard (my favorite radio station) to cause it to sink in: Ozzfest is FREE this year!!!!

The only catch is, you do actually have to have a ticket to get in. The tickets are in fact free, but there are a limited number available. Here’s how it works: You have to get a ticket code. You can do so one of three ways:

1. By purchasing a specially marked copy of the new Ozzy CD
2. By buying a specially marked pack of Monster Energy Drinks
3. Online at livenation.com, monsterenergy.com, jagermusic.com, or fye.com

Then, on Tuesday, June 12th, you can redeem your code online for up to two printable tickets.

You can find tour dates and more information at the official Ozzfest website. If you go to the one in Charlotte, I just might see you there.
