Which venue did you read this on? All tickets purchased online come with a digital download of the album, including presale tickets. Digital download links will come by email next week upon the release of the album. Watch Mellencamp.com and your email for updates!

I click on the picture of John on my ticket master confirmation, that takes me to the Sony Centre Page with info about the show up here in Toronto and at the bottom of that page in a box it says Free Download the last paragraph clearly says "not valid for fans who purchased tickets through the mellencamp store presale or TM+ tickets"

Gotcha, that text referred to a presale that was going to be offered through MyPlayDirect, not Mellencamp.com. But that didn't happen as it was originally planned. Not sure what Ticketmaster+ tickets are.

If you don't get a download code next week email your order confirmation to [email protected] and I will assist.

Ticketmaster+ tickets are resale tickets (offered via TM, usually at a hefty markup, for some shows) so it stands to reason those would not come with the download.

So.... I bought two tickets in the presale on Thursday (over the phone) from the Madison Overture Center-- the venue that is hosting John's June 2nd concert. 

Do I still get an email with the downloads?  Or does it have to be an online purchase?  My phone was not cooperating for buying online and I couldn't use my work computer to purchase the tickets...  I had to wait for the Overture ticket office to hook me up with tickets via a phone order.

Thanks,

Jann

I meant to say TUESDAY, not Thursday... not that it matters.  But I was chomping at the bit to buy my tickets Wink

This is what we have been told and what we have on Mellencamp.com

One download code per ticket for online and phone purchases only; does not apply to box office or outlet ticket purchases. This promotion is available until August 4th, 2015 and is valid for United States and Canadian residents only. Ticket buyers will receive an email from Republic Records once the album has been released and the download is ready. Purchases after Sept. 23 will receive the download within 7 days of order.

So, this information still does not address if pre-sale ticket buyers will get the download. The vinyl LP release will be at my house tomorrow, but it would have been nice to download it.

All ticket purchasers should get a link to download the album this week, regardless if if they bought in the public on sale or pre sale.

Why couldn't they give fans at least a free download at the quality of ITunes at 256kbps?

160kbps is a joke especially when the best album listening experience at 96khz 24 bit at HDtracks.com is 4,608 Kbps.

CD quality is 1,411 Kbps.
