SHUT OUT TWICE!

this is ridiculous! I live in freakin NY!!!

all today yielded me was a headache, a loss of appetite, and a new affinity for Ticketmaster.

I almost blinded with anger right now. I'm so angry that I'm almost completely calm. Too angry to even show anger.
Jam out with your clam out.

    I don't know if I am a bigger loser for missing out on 10c tickets for a show in my hometown or for crying over it.
    ... and the will to show I will always be better than before.

    I'm completely with you on this one...
    I work 2 buildings down from MSG and could not get the tickets... I was checking out and the paged timed out... WTF is that!!!!?????

    Ticketmaster here I come..... I'll get them there..... I'm not worried but I wanted 10 club tickets damn it!!!!!!!

    On a good note, I totally didn't do a thing today at work, just tried to get tickets so at least i made money while I was freaking out.

    Come here thread starter, we will cry together!

    Yeah, but that made you smile, no?

    Actually, the bright side... you guys have shows at least. I am looking at taking a red-eye across the country to Connecticut just to catch one.

    When something like this happens I just feel utter resentment for the band even though it is not there fault. There has to be a better way. Let me make this clear i didnt even try for tickets but it just does not seem fair that some people got shut out especially when you have people try to get tickets just to see if they can and clog up the system. All in all the way things have been run around here are a little obscene.

    definatly crying about it.

    I live in Jersey and scored Vic tickets last august. And I gotta be honest, the "but I live in chicago" didnt make me wanna give up my seats the least bit.

    And remember, theres still ticketmaster for these shows. With big shows like these, if you wanna get in bad enough, there is always a way.

    Not so true for a small show like the vic.

    Cry me a freakin' river.

    Be thankful they are even taking the time to play in your area. Some of us are less fortunate.

    If you really want to go so bad you can go to Ticketmaster when they go on sale or go to a Ticket Broker.

    that sucks, dude. I totally feel for you. At least you're not being a baby like some people and realize there's always the general public onsale. Also, you might be able to get a great seat through tm the day of the show. In Buffalo 2003, a buddy of mine who's in 10c for some reason didn't know about the tour until a few weeks after the presale ended. He ended up getting a better seat (3rd row, lower bowl right near the stage) than i did (Row 12 Floor).
    I like bands.
