I've been watching the site all day from my mobile, and of course, the puzzle comes up in the hour when I'm shopping and can't check my phone. Grr.
Anyway, I've emailed, though I doubt I'm early enough. And if I do win them I may need to do some grovelling to my friend who lives up in Liverpool!
What do your emails say?

And I didn't...so that should give people some idea of the time to solve that's required. I was about ten or 15 minutes later than the other speedies (look I'm supposed to be working OK ). Are you two going to divulge the contents of your mails then?

You were one of the first to succeed. That wins you the opportunity to pick up a pair of Big Weekend tickets.
You - or somebody you trust - need to be outside Hardy's Bar on Mathew St on Tuesday May 15th between 7pm and 7.30pm. There you will find your contact - a man wearing dark glasses. You must tell him a password.
This password is unique to you. It will only work once. Keep it to yourself or pass it onto one trusted accomplice in your stead. Do not pass it on for other people to re-use - they will not get tickets.
Your contact does not like to be crowded. If you see him talking to someone else, do not approach him. Wait until he is alone. Say only your password - do not engage him in conversation.
If you are under 16, make sure you are accompanied by an adult guardian. I will not be held responsible for your safety.
Your password is:
Good luck
thats my mail! and im loving the password - matthew st is where the cavern is (my local might I add!) and its all related!!!

Cool, well done Mikey Looks like we already have a good group going from here now Although I get the feeling the unofficial mills people might be a bit annoyed.

I didn't, but then I'm not too surprised or worried to be honest. I emailed at about 3.45pm, so you really do need to be quick off the mark to get the tickets, it seems.
There's always tomorrow. I'm just revising anyway... not like that's important or anything...

I got the e-mail but I can't pick up the tickets or go to the Big Weekend.
So people here is your chance, one pair of tickets up for grabs.
PM me if you want them.
Be warned I want serious details after the event though!

That's more than four people, isn't it? Interesting... maybe Cyrus was underestimating the number of tickets he had to give away!
On the subject of Frozen Indigo Angels, I found this very interesting:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indigo_children
It certainly ties in with the idea of mind control.
Quote:
Indigo children is a term used within the New Age movement to refer to children who are alleged to possess paranormal attributes such as the ability to read minds.
The Indigo child concept was first publicized in 1999 by the book The Indigo Children: The New Kids Have Arrived, written by the husband-and-wife team of Lee Carroll and Jan Tober.[1] Carroll insists that the concept was obtained via conversations with a spiritual entity known as Kryon.
The reason for the use of the adjective "indigo" is not universally agreed upon: some sources link it with an early researcher into the phenomenon, who was synesthetic. It has also been claimed that these children appear with an indigo-hued aura.
Oh, and to the other people who won tickets: when did you submit your emails? Just trying to establish a timeframe here.

Yes it is more than four. They said fifteen pairs of tickets and in the e-mail they said an "opportunity" to get tickets. First come first served? Or some sort of further puzzle? Or whichever survive V's torture methods? If it's hairiest, I'm in with a chance

I believe the count is up to 8 people. This is enough for 4 pairs of tickets coincidentally.
