More Ticketmaster Fun

So, Sunday morning Rach at her place, I at mine both trying for U2 tickets. End result.. Ticketmaster 2/Us 0. We sat there trying multiple nights .. sat there waiting while the timer went down then back up.. then when it locked at 15 min remaining for a while we knew we were going to be screwed again.

Even with a second night being added, we couldn't find a pair of tickets, or rather we couldn't BUY a pair. I actually got in and had a second pair of tickets lined up.. went to buy and then.. poof it errored out and I lost the chance. Rachel mentioned that it was probably becaue I had another browser open at the same time searching a differnt venue. I can see that they would want to keep ticket brokers from camping out, but feel free to mention that in non-small print. Nice to see their tech works when it benefits them, considering they didn't even get the tickets for second night on sale at the time they had scheduled which screwed me up.

So... to sum it all up as usual, it's the little guy.. the average fan who can't afford ticket brokers prices who get fucked over.
