    Kind of weird saying this, but I think they avoid the weekend to actually limit the accessibility for these presales. Limiting the traffic would be a way to avoid the site crashing.

    However, since the fan base is getting older and the majority work as opposed to being students, it puts a lot of fans at a disadvantage. Especially in markets where it will sell out quickly. At least they are giving a few days notice so people can try to figure out how to fit the presale into their schedules.

    yeah that's a good point. in the past i've been able to call of sick or skip a class but I don't think it'll be that easy this time around.

    but I'm almost certain I could be home for the MSG 2 presale.

    Yes! It's such a fucking pain in the ass to buy tickets at work! Right now, I have to find someone to sit here on my computer and get the tickets for me....too much pressure for us both.
