Service charge was $17.00 and it'll cost another $4.00 to be mailed to your place.
huh? that's ticketbastard-type surcharges!
let's keep spamming those CL bastards (check ebay too). that telephone number is for a professional ticket seller. the first CL email address isn't working anymore.
does Ticketmaster have a similar method for high-demand shows?
yeah, they make you wait for a a few minutes during high demand, but you get an answer quickly. they just have the server capacity to deal with massive demand. tickets.com is great for 99% of the 9:30's shows… just a few need a bigger and better system.

Keep trying!
I got through and 11:35am and a friend got through at 11:40am. Go directly to the tickets.com site and locate the event. It will indicate "currently unavailable", after you request but just keep hitting refresh… reset the ticket quantity to 2 and click continue.
Keep trying again and again. I must have tried 30 times within a few minutes before I finally got through at 11:30am. Then my friend tried the same thing after me from the same computer and got through as well after about 20 refreshes.
Keep trying!

I've been doing that for 2 hours. If tickets do magically appear I'll get so confused and probably click refresh again.

I bet you didn't just get 2— you just want me to click the damn refresh button for 2 more hours :-)

I just tried the 703 number on the tickets.com website, telling me to try the 800 number. Called that, no dice. I give up.

Once he revealed that he was gay, his audience size nearly doubled.
It's no wonder tickets are twice as hard to get this time.

You know me Jag. Nobody likes a Sexyback more than me. When I heard this wasn't 21+, there was no way I could miss it!

See, that's the part that threw me off and why I wasn't sure if it was real. :D
That's dedication. 3,000 miles of dedication!

Consolation: for the face value of $55/ticket that would have gone to Mr. Timberlake, I can now see…
Wed 9/13 - Band of Horses & Chad VanGaalen @ BC = $15
Thu 9/14 - Rogue Wave @ BC = $15
Tue 9/19 - Magnolia Elec Co & Shearwater @ BC = $12
Mon 9/25 - Architecture in Helsinki @ BC = $13
…for the same price. Now, if I can sell this as a *good thing* to the g/f…

I think this is what I'll do for the massive attack shows. Probably won't sell out as fast but I bet they'll be gone within the first hour.
