Sodomy and Begorah!

So, Tommy, ever been in a Turkish prison, ever seen a grown man naked... ever been violated by an Irish rock band

Well, be sure to go over and read Josh's blog to get a good long run down of the thorough screwing we took at the hands of U2. http://www.joshuastecker.com/ He spells out the experience fairly well and far more coherently than I'm going to do at the moment. For some reason I am not as pissed, not sure why, frankly I should be but not as raging as I usually am. I must just be dazed over the whole affair.

When I tried to get floor tickets in San Diego (once I got on without error..) they were out, so I tried best available and I got terrace level (highest level in arena) and they wanted $163 a piece! Sorry you Irish bastards, not going to cough up that dough to sit in the cheap seats. Ended up getting tickets at Staples Center, up in their cheap seats, but at least those were $98 a piece... yayy a bargain. So, Sat/Sun it's clickit for ticket time again and just pray for some luck.

I will say that it is absolutely disgusting that they charge $40 to join U2.com and then proceed to fuck over the fans by A.) Apparently not have a great grasp on how to keep out ticket brokers B.) allow the rolling disaster known as Ticketmaster to handle the volume. Now, the REM fanclub sale didn't go off perfectly, but compared to Ticketmasters constant errors it was a breeze. They had things so screwed that I thought the venues had sold out since it wasn't giving you the option to buy for a while, fortunately Josh pointed the problems out to me and I went back in.

Well, I can't add anything more substantial to what Josh said... the other annoying thing is scheduling the ticket sales when most people are at work, yea thanks again shitheads that makes life easier for us. That's it on that subject for now.. I am sure I will hae more after the weekend.
