ugh, trying to get tix to pearl jam at wrigley field in july, sitting in tickets.com "Virtual Waiting Room" to perhaps be randomly selected to actually buy tickets. browser refreshes every 30 seconds since 11:00 EST (now 11:42, so pretty sure i'm not getting in).
this blows. i guess i'll have to use a scal... um, er, i mean a broker, to get tix for the show.
latest update came at 11:52: This event has sold out.
i thnk we'll go to chicago for that weekend anyway. i've got friends out there who can keep their ears open for tix, and i've got a free place to stay.
I HATE online ticket sales. They suck in ways that no product has sucked before. Its not possible to go and be the rabid fan camping out overnight so you can be front row center, and the guys that get the front row center just happened to have the good timing and would rather not be getting gobbed on by the lead guitarist.
I'm not even going to go into how Ticketmaster sells out in 38 seconds, but magically, their wholly owned subsiduary has "tour packages" available for twice the price for weeks afterwards.

Not only that, they also magically have "secondary market" tickets available the moment the tickets on ticketmaster.com go on sale. You can't convince me they aren't just selling the primary market tickets as "used" and getting more money. It's just what they're doing, I'm sure.
I would love to see them live. Hope you get to go somehow.
The online service and convenience fee is what really pisses me off. If I know a concert isn't going to sell out I'll just buy the ticket at face value at the door rather than paying an extra 25% for the convenience of selling me the ticket. Criminals!

You know, you are now not allowed to give me E36 M3 about anything, ever, right? Enjoy the show, hippy.

Hmmm...grunge and hippies don't really go well together. Hippies are too happy.

Make me fries.
