Rant on shitty tickets

Unread post by mattinbeloit » Sun Apr 03, 2005 12:21 am

Did you wake up earliy on a saturday morning and get fucked over online (ive heard the stories about the 4-8 minute delay..) or at the ticketbastard outlet? Well hell i feal your pain and i want to rant, so join me as i share my story of defeat/ WTF do you mean those are the best seats!

Well, thursday afternoon started out with plans for doing an all nighter at college for my zoology and philosophy paper. I pulled an al nighter and went back to madison (wisconsin) friday afternoon to stay with my parents and get some sleep. Well, i ended up stayin up till like 1 in the morning playin guitar with an old friend (This makes a total of 42 hours that i have been awake, worse than a hangeover..). I wake up at 8:30 am saturday (7.5 hours sleep...) and drive over to the ticket master outlet which is inside the Boston store (the store does not open untill 10am). So the boston finally opens their FUCKING (YES I AM EMPHASISING THE WORD FUCKING HERE) lazy asses at 10:05 and i run full speed up to the second floor and almost run straight into the ticketbastard couter. I say in my out of breath voice "dave matthews, alpine valley" she says "the best i have is section 202 row QQ" thats way fuck in the back preatty much so im like "try the second day". "Sorry lawn only". I'm like fuck, go back to day one and get those.. so all in all i got "ok" seats but i was dreaming all night about being first in line and getting like 5th row, instead i have a fricking store that opens 5 minutes late and costs me my good seats... I thought the point of having the outlet was so you could be standing at the desk where the typing queen would get your shit right at the stroke of 10 FUCKING am! Oh well, at least i got tickets, i know alot of you didnt...

Yup, I got 0 tickets due to Ticketmaster's complete ineptness. I'll be talking to my attorney in a couple of days.

i started reading this and i thought u were gonna be like suck it up and deal with it, but im glad you feel my struggle. Ticketbastard screwed me over. I was up friday night with this gal i really like and i left at 9 on like no sleep to head home so i could get my tickets. So at this point i was extremely happy. Had a great night and was gonna get some awesome tickets so i thought. So im home at 930 and settin up my ticketbastard so im all logged in and just have to hit resfresh and buy my tickets when it hits 10. Put my mom on a laptop so we could try gfor the best tix. SO it hits 10 and i out in my order and u have to read that fuckin word so no computers can get the tix. Well ticketbastard made the words so hard to read a normal human cant read half of it. Well i ended up gettin lawn for first day of spac and a shitty seat for second day so im gonn sell second day at spac for face value and do scranton instead to catch howie day with dave. But yea i just wanted to say how ticketbastard ruined my weekend. If your reading this sorry for wasting 5 minutes of your life, please forgive me
