With all of the damned fees they charge, you'd think Ticketbastard could afford to upgrade their servers once in a while.

I heard that the The ex-bosses wife (also a teacher at our place) is paying £250 eaxh for 2 tickets!
I just hope they don't turn out to be dodgy photocopies of tickets or something!

My wife bought 3 for the face value of £92 each. She woke up early as the tickets went on sale at
3am here. She wasn't able to get through on any site either, but her cousin, who happens to work
for a ticket selling website, was able to get them for her. Add the $136 I spent for the flight using
air miles, and it will turn out to be the most expensive concert either of us has been too.

That's expensive, but if you have a good time? (i spend such amounts also, but for new/actual decade stuff) What the thing is, reunited/whatever bands or acts are never the same like you remember them from years ago or from old recordings. Too often, it's just not the same good feeling like during those heydays.

(in 2k i attended Skinny Puppy and Depeche Mode shows - they were just not the same like a decade before)

The PWEI 'reformation' tour in 2001 was AWESOME! I missed them the first time round, thought I'd never get a chance to then 8 years later bam - back together and touring, they didn't disappoint either

Well, Mrs. Gor volunteered right away when they started to ask for someone to get bumped last night.
She took off an hour later on a different flight and was given $800 in flight vouchers for the inconvenience.
Good work, Mrs. Gor.
