Ticketless lament

I just know that there's just one person at TM releasing one ticket at a time, whilst reading threads from The Org (and similar) and laughing to him(her)self!

I can't take any more. I've refreshed all day at work. Some bugger set off the fire alarm, so I had to leave the computer and deal with 250 kids!! Got home. Barely spoke to my family. Broke TM. Saw 21st tix. TM broke again. My dinner's gone cold . . . . . and I still haven't got a ticket. I can actually feel a tear welling in the corner of my eye.

I'm fed up!!

I only got my tickets for the 21st late last week - don't give up, know how frustrating it is - I look all the time even though I have my own tickets - will alert you is I see them or get them for you - try and keep smiling - I do hope you are lucky wink

Stay positive grasshopper...you've come this far don't give up now!
Your skills are finely honed for the final batlle tomorrow!!

Seriously tho, there are lots of us trying still on TM to get tix for other orgers...make sure your name is on the list and that you keep in touch with colinb til the last minute...

I heard mention yesterday that TM indicated that 20% of the floorseats had still to be sold, and I'd say that prob goes for the lower tiers too...that's how it has been for every gig so far.

Good luck everyone!

It's comforting to know there are others going through the same hideous torment for that one ticket - I won't be eating or sleeping tonight just staying on TM as I won't be able to get much TM/org access tomorrow and I think I'm losing my grip on reality...

At work, I started off minimising the screen whenever someone popped into the office. Now, the headteacher could walk in and it won't make a damn bit of difference. Perhaps, I could ask him to make all the staff put TM on their computers and help my search biggrin

The IT guy keeps catching me and said he'd disconnect my internet remotely . . . . I asked him if he'd considered being a eunuch wink

The poor bugger's already terrified. He laughed scornfully when I told him why I was on TM and "we had words"!! If I tell him I'll have back-up when I kick his scrawny butt - he'll not fix my pc when it breaks down (again). biggrin

Converted or perverted?

I'm the same as y'all. Can't seem to get tickets. Tried e-bay but just getting priced out the game.

Guess I'll just start saving now for the next visit in a few years. Shame to miss the end of the tour sad

I'll stick with "converted" wink I've avoided Ebay today, but I've just been reminded that an auction I'm watching ends in 15 mins.

(Hey! Money don't matter 2 night just started playing - must be an omen. I'll bid will the old man aint looking lol )

Be careful on ebay guys - for las thursdays show I bid right to my limit on tickets for front row A2 - to the side of the stage where Prince does the piano medly - to me they are the best seats in the house - end of the auction - turned out the sellers friend who also sells tickets had already sold the A2 tickets (probably at a premium) and I ended up with C1 tickets - which don't get me wrong - they were good seats but i wouldn't have bid just as much for them as i already had tix for 107 but thought it was worth the try to get as close to his purpleness as possible. Concert was amazing but I wish I had paid what other ebayers had paid for this section and not what I paid - skinto now - so the ebay experience has jaded me somewhat and i had no comeback as we actually didn't realise where the seats were until we were in the venue and it was too late. Don't let this put you off - just be careful and be prepared.
Nah nah na...Hold on to your wigs!
