As for how do you get a GB, it's not something I can honestly answer at the moment. The people that are on the list have been on it since the first festival with a few additions. At the moment, it's like a season ticket list that you have to wait on someone to drop off of before you can get on. I will be reviewing the process for next year and decide how to handle things then.
In regards to a confirmation number, that is correct. You do not actually get the GB untill you pick it up in Atlanta. This is to prevent counterfeiting.
