-- God bless you, fuckin_shit. You roxx0r to the maxx0r.
: So I was planning on getting Radiohead tickets for me and a friend today, when they went on sale at 10 am. NO problem. Then I notice on LA's alternative rock station KROQ, that if you sign up on their website, you will be given a special "pre-sale deal"
: So i sign up, get my code and get ready to buy the tickets at 10 on friday, when they went on sale for presale. But I was at work, and my boss made me go to hollywood to pick up film stock. I came back at 10:30.
: I go on the computer no later than 10:40
: I find no tickets on ticketmaster.com
: NOne
: I try again
: Nothing
:
: WHat the fuck is going on?!
:
: SO then I decide to just try 1 ticket. After trying for about 5 times, I finally get one ticket, way up in the back
: tickets were 50 bucks +bullshit ticketmaster charages. I said fuck it, its not worth it
: I let em go.
:
: Now maybe, that presale thing was just for a limited number of seats, and when they go on sale for real, a lot more will open up. BUt from the way i read it, it appeared ALL the seats were availabe for pre sale.
:
: Now I know radiohead is a big band, and I know they havent been to LA in 2 years, but there is no fuckin way in heaven Radiohead can sell out the HOllywood BOwl in a 40 minute pre sale. Right? ITs not like they are the Beatles with the Harrison and Lennon brought back to life.
: This is fuckin outrageous. For some of these concerts, you have to be the first one to buy tickets or you just don't get in
: Is this because of ticket brokers buying em up and radio stations buying em and then giving them away in contests?
: When I got tickets for ZWan, I called the second they went on sale. The guy told me balcolny was all they had. What the fuck?!
: This pisses me off so much
