why?

b) the Beastie Boys make my head hurt.

really? so that is why you are as you are? ;) seriously, i thought you dug 'em.

kosmo - have fun at iota. I might be there late. (Check out the opener, Griffin House.)

Put the blame on HFS for setting up such a lame contest for this show. I remember the days of camping out in line overnight outside of Tower to get tickets. Now, thanks to Tickets.com, anybody can get these tickets, not the true fans. Well, we can still try to be caller 9! Bah!

die-hards anymore these days get the nix when it comes to going to their favorite shows - it bites *extremely hard*

oh? and how AM i then, missy.

Yeah I'd much rather spend the night outside the record store than buy tickets on the phone or on line.

People, there were a very limited # of tickets available online. 930 only holds about 1000 people and I'm sure hfs had hundreds set aside not available for sale. Get over it. It's not 930's or tickets.com's fault you couldn't get in.

no luck here. ah well, just sucks because i kinda have friday off

Huh? How do you know the folks on the internet today aren't true fans? What on earth is a true fan – someone who has the time to camp out in front of a big chain record store? Sorry, I have a job – I must not be a true fan.

That's just lame.

complete disaster. Ive been a part of at least a dozen presales and never had to deal with this cr@p. Luckily i didnt have to sit in the Red Sox waiting room. All i got was

"We're sorry, we were unable to process your request due to high transaction volumes. Please try to submit your request again"

In fact i still have a window up trying it and getting the same message, weird .

no you

That sucked! I got on at 4pm and had the same damn RedSox screen over and over until the Final notice… NO tickets for me!

P.s. I will be the drunk naked guy in the clown suit at the door protesting my own stupidity for using Ticket.scum. If anyone has an extra - pleeeease let me know! please.

Don't they know who I am? I'm their biggest fan, and I go to every 9:30 show and I listen to HFS all day. I have a RIGHT to those tickets!

Well that came out of nowhere, but fine. I'm lame too, but at least I'm not complaining about something that happened as well as it could considering 5000 people were vying for 3 or 400 tickets.

I JUST GOT A 2 TICKETS FROM THAT VIRTUAL WAITING ROOM !!! I LEFT IT ON UNTIL NOW AND GOT THROUGH - WHO KNEW :D

Ok..I know that credit cards get denied freeing up tickets, etc…that being said, I'm still being refreshed in the waiting room on three browsers…what would others do – give it up knowing it's sold out or hope you'll go somewhere with them? bc why would they keep refreshing and not just go to some page and say, "Dude, it's over, let it go"…

Damn. That was my next post.

I already said it on Craigs List, but I mind as well repeat it here:


There's got to be another way?? For the umpteenth time I have been unsuccessful in getting concert tickets in a pre-sale or actual sale. This time it was the Beastie Boys for 15 bucks on Thursday night. Sure, I had the pre-sale password, a T1 Internet connection… got in the digital line on time just to have the site crash over and over again. WTF?? It's a big surprise there's going to be heavy Internet traffic at this specific time? Is this not fucking tickets.com's business? Why don't you take some of the gobs of money you making (granted this show was pretty cheap) and reinvest it in some additional hardware and software. Oh why… because the tickets will get sold either way irregardless of who is first but on some random probability that one's browser doesn't crash. F U tickets.com and your shitty customer service and web site. And F U too 9:30 club for not expecting more from your ticket vendor. My only solace is Franz Ferdinand wasnâ??t popular enough to sell out in 2 minutes flat too.

:D
