Yesterday's Dreams
This kind of sums up yesterday: http://xkcd.com/429/

On the plus side I managed to get a ticket to see Tom Waits! It was a swine using the ticket master website (seriously, the developers (or more likely, the managers) should be hung drawn and quartered). But I got it! Getting the the ticket is pretty much the high point of the year, so far.

Are you referring to the 'you now have 3 minuted to complete this page' nonsense? I f**king HATE TicketB*stard with a seething burning passion.

Yeah that's a pain in the arse! I had two timeouts during the process. And considering the first night of the gig sold out within ten minutes that was especially bad. Plus it wouldn't let me update my card details! I've moved since I last used ticketmaster and I've got a new issue of the card but it kept failing when I tried to update the address and wouldn't let me remove the card or add it again. Grrrr!

That and the only delivering tickets the address of the cardholder! You can't even get them to deliver the tickets to a work address, which is just ridiculous. I can't believe they can get away with such an atrocious service.

On the plus side I'll be in Edinburgh on the 28th of July!

That's awful! You must have been freaking out incase all the tickets went. I know what you mean about them, how can they possibly get away with charging all the extras that they do also? I bought two tickets to see Yazoo and the total cost once they had put all the admin charges and p&p and whatnot was £105!!!

I once had a *major* problem with them, it's a loooooong story but they short of it is that their system f*cked up and sent me the incorrect tickets. Despite numerous phonecalls they would not help me and i ended up having to sell them on Ebay for a lower price that i paid for them then buy another set on Ebay for the date that i wanted and lose even more money.

I HATE THEM!

WOO! hope to see you in Edinburgh!

Seriously?!?!? That's atrocious! I don't understand why venues use them for tickets. I've never heard anyone say anything good about them.

The worst problem I've had with them was when I'd just moved back to Norwich. I still had a flat in Southampton and was technically living there while crashing at a mates. They wouldn't send the tickets to work, they had to go to the flat the card was registered at and it was recorded delivery only so they ended up getting returned. Grr!

It might be a bit tight when I come up (it's a monday night) but if we can meet up for a quick pint that would be superb! I'll keep you posted.
