Ticketmaster sucks rant

[russian33]

So, I get on exactly at 3pm to buy play off tickets to a Yankees game (oh shut up, you're all jealous!)....and i get you have less than 1 minute wait, which then goes up to 5 minutes, and i wait good 10 minutes to see less than 30 seconds wait and then BAM...'Your request was interrupted due to error, please go back to events page'

What? And now it's a 15 minute wait, so there's no chance in hell of me getting thru...bunch of freaking bastards!

1. $6 per ticket charge - on $5 tickets for Michael Moore!

At the Sun Dome in Tampa - Sunday, 10/3.

We wouldn't have used Ticketmaster except that the only other place to get tickets was at the box office - which closes at 6pm and they'd be sold out by then!

Yeah, Ticketmaster sucks big time!

2. I would never buy tickets for something like that online. Way too risky.

There are Ticketmaster outlets EVERYWHERE (at least around here). I would much rather get to the grocery an hour before tickets go on sale and wait around, than go online and risk having the site crash on me while the tickets are selling out.

4. That was the original plan, but I'd have to thank my job..

..for making sure i can't get out of the office today...
