Phew! Finally for a standing one for Sunday night ...

 

[It Will Never Last]

I gave up when I realised €200 on a pair of tickets for my sis and her husband for Xmas was a little much.

 

[coast to coast]

Thought I was havin a mare. Rejected my credit card and missed my tickets first time round. Then got 2 then 4 for Friday, then 4 for sunday all standing. My early morning vigilance paid off big time. That and my mates credit card limit.

€6.35 per ticket "service charges" is sickening. If I didn't have tickets to see the Boss twice it'd be almost too much. Ticketmaster are royal cunts.

At the Pinback gig the other night I had a ticketmaster ticket. My mate had a WAV ticket. Mine cost 1.50 more than his.

They surely are cunts.

Plus this new system they have. It seems that rather than rewarding those who are smart enough to get in first, they roll everyone into a queue and pick out people randomly. So some fucker that logs in 10 minutes after you (who might already have bought tickets), gets the same chance as you do even though you've been hanging, waiting. At least thats my reading of it.

That can't be right, can it?

They warned me not to click refresh or I'd lose my place in the queue.

I'm going on the fact that I was in a 4 minute queue, then a 2 minute one, then a 1 minute one, then a poxy 15 minute one, after which I got no tickets.

Its definitely not a conventional queueing system, thats for sure

I opened up about two or three browsers because the times seemed to be going up and down. I actually missed out on two tickets for the first night because it rejected my credit card (uh-oh!) and another time later when it timed out cos I actually had to do some work. Still very happy with my haul!

I'm sure tickets will appear before the gig for face value, either released by Ticketmaster or from sound people selling them at face-value and what-not. But for once I just really wanted to get the tickets so I was extra organised this time. Arcade Fire in Olympia was a very disappointing experience for me with not getting ticks.

Got three standing for the Thursday! Think I was one of the first in probably

I had two browsers open at 08.55 which both had the when 15 minute waiting page so I opened another two browsers at 09.05 and got the same 15 minute wait screen. In the end it was third browser I opened at 09.05 that got the tickets so your theory was correct where I was concerned and it makes no sense whatsoever........ Not that I'm complaining

I want to cry.

I have to have a fucking ROOT CANAL next week, which is going to totally max out my credit card and then some. Plus, I've had to borrow my rent money for the second month in a row. I couldn't have even dreamed of fucking trying to get tickets.

FUCK.

I'm never gonna get to see Bruce with the E-Street Band.

Wicked sad now.

 

[Franco]

if anyone has a spare, can i call dibs on it pulease?

was a bit late getting out of bed today.

 

[cpr]

I'm going on Thursday, thanks to my beloved in-laws. Had no idea they were gonna try for tickets so made the deal extra sweet.

 

[pete]

some joker on ebay is claiming to have 50 tickets available for one of the gigs, and he's got multiple auctions running. looks to have the over 100 tickets on sale in total over the 3 gigs.

something's very, very wrong with this situation.

 

[coast to coast]

I just want to shout out for Springsteen's contribution to Lou Reed's fucking brilliant song Street Hassle.

 

[rettucs]

tickets for his gigs in May seem to be on sale again

Lover killed for saying no to 'The Boss'

Defence lawyer Greg Maguire said Cooper experienced a "brain snap" and ran to the kitchen and grabbed a knife, which she used to stab Mr Watson after he said he didn't want to listen to a Bruce Springsteen CD.
"I mean, who the hell doesn't like Bruce Springsteen, for God's sake?" she later told arresting police.
"I just picked up a knife and I went 'boom'."
The knife pierced Mr Watson's aorta and oesophagus, and he died at the scene.
