It's kind of funny....

I admit, I was complaining yesterday. I tried for 45 mins for Milwaukee tix, got the buy button 2 times, only to get the temp out of stock message.

got bumped out a few times and had to login again...etc...


I am greatful to be a member of 10c. I was able to get decent seats for previous PJ shows.

My frustration lies with, quite frankly, with I didnt get any. I understand the venues are small, I understand there was only 500 seats for 10c at Milwaukee.

What I dont understand is I was doing the same thing everyone else was....clickity click click click....and I never even got in but 2 times, only to be told temp out of stock. That is whats frustraing.

This EV solo tour, in Milwaukee, my hometown so to speak, once in lifetime chance....and I didnt get any. Just frustrating that I join a club to be abel to get in these type of sales, and I couldnt get the benefits this time.


So, yes, I guess I am the "stand in the corner and pout cause I was 501 person in line and didnt get any guy" LOL

Oh well, got a chance with a 10c person who has extras and I have the public sale chance. Which according to the info I got from the Riverside, my bet is Riverside will have about 1000 seats for the public sale. Given 500 are for 10c, my guess is another 500 will go to people who wait in line at the box office tomorrow, which leaves about 1000+ for public sale. I better not be 1001 in the online line...LOL

It's not like they purposely keep tickets back to throw us crazy. Shit happens. Tickets go back in the system throughout the hour after the initial sale. Credit cards don't work out... jackasses keep them in their cart for a while to be assholes (very few but I heard people say they did this)... Just at NYC 1, my card was charged for two orders. One of the orders went back into the system at around a half an hour after I purchased them. You'd rather them have eaten that set of tickets just so you can feel secure that they are in fact sold out? They say they are temporarily out of stock. At that point they are. Period. Every ticket is in someone's posession... however there is a small chance that something will happen for it to not be purchased. People refresh on the rare chance that one of these tickets will fall into their hands.

Why do people make out the 10c to be villains at every ticket sale?

By having this system they use, they have tickets for at least an hour, but after we click buy, too many people are jamming the system and creating problems. I have done this for as long as they have had it, it usually works out becasue with the band they have more seats and in point a longer sale, with this it didnt, it is what it is, I amn not mad the club does alot, the system of waiting just gets crazier every time. And nobody here can say it doesnt drive them nuts and get their blood pressure high, you would be lying.

See, I just assume that after the first minute, the tickets are for all intents and purposes gone. After that, a random pair might show up here and there when people's credit cards get declined or whatever, but getting those tickets would be a miracle. You make the choice whether to spend your time refreshing endlessly in hopes of that miracle. Honestly, when I didn't get either of the NYC shows within the first minute, I figured my chances of getting them were so slim it wasn't worth my time. (Fortunately, I managed to get Newark )

I got MSG 2 tickets after about 45 minutes of them being "temporarily out of stock." With all the people on-line trying to get them, there were bound to be computer/server issues, which probably resulted in a lot of tickets being moved into carts and then dropped.

I do not need to reread the threads, I called the club and with dc 1 the women said they had 1 pair left at like 50 mins, and it said out of stock, dc 2 it said out of stock in like 40.

My question here is everyone would be more happy if we all said this process is the best thing in the world, like every person here who has baught tickets over the last 5 years hasnt gone through this, its insane, its all good but thruth behold the older you get it drives you crazy, back in 06 I laughed at the stress, this year it wore on me.
I guess I am not a fan or a retard for not blindly agreeing the system doesnt give me a woody.

You need to explain to me how on earth did I miss you guys this tour! You never called me!!!!!!

Let's not let this happen again next tour sir!!!

we had so much fun and just kept to ourselves, we show up to the venues stoned and late, we somehow seem to roll in there like as the first not goes regardelss of the differant show start times.
This tour was so much fun, and so great I often wonder if there ever can be a tour this good again.

And my stupid ass just assumed we would be sitting next to eachother again, and than realized I sat with nik.

Going to tampa we drove to the amphitheater, and we were like fuck they cancelled the show, it was empty.
we had to redirsect ourselves to the arena, funny shit.
We had some real fun, I am sorry we missed you, but honestly we missed everyone.
Its also great to know in my 30's I can still have fun the same way I did when I was 20.
