Hi there!

We're sending you a special invitation and some information about The
Gathering, as you have been to The Gathering at a previous occasion.
We would very much like to see you again.

The ticket release is imminent, and if you would like a ticket, please
read this information carefully to avoid hassle and unnecessary
trouble. You see, since you are foreigner we would like to give you
a VIP treatment.

We are using several sources as the basis for sending this email, so
you might get this email more than once. Better safe than sorry, right?

Basic information:

The Event:
- The Gathering 2004 (TG04) starts on Wednesday April 7th 2004 at
   09:00 (9am) and closes on Sunday April 11th 2004 at 14:00 (2pm).
   The site is Hamar, Norway, approximately 100 km north of Oslo.
   Coaches, railroads, highways and planes are all abundantly available,
   but if you need any help setting up the trip or have any questions
   email us at foreigner@gathering.org

Tickets:
- Our tickets will be on sale beginning Monday February 9th at 18:00
   (6pm). You can use VISA or Mastercard, or in case of any difficulty
   with this, let us know. We sell the ticket through the online service
   Partyticket at http://www.partyticket.net

- The ticket price will be 570 NOK per seat, plus fees from Partyticket.
   Non-scandinavians pay 300 NOK and non-europeans pay 0,- (nothing!)
   300 NOK is about 45 US$ or 35 euro.
   Moreover, you just apply for these tickets at any time, and if you
   meet the criteria (we will check to avoid people cheating in line),
   you'll be secured a ticket. People taking the time, effort and money
   to travel all the way to Hamar, Norway deserve something extra.

You as crew?

   it all happen at TG04, then we would very much like to hear from you.

   application system at http://wannabe.gathering.org.

Oh, and by the way, we see that there are some rumors and speculation on
IRC-channels and on web-based message boards that some might take as
official. The only place for official information from us is the web
pages on http://www.gathering.org. Use them. Please.

Hope to see you at TG04. We promise you quite an experience!
