It happens with ticketmaster.com too :mad:

you guys have to pay for concerts? :1orglaugh

same thing happened to me when I tried to buy N'Sync tickets.... lousy site kept timing out on me.

Ticketmaster holds out on tickets so much it's not even funny. You would laugh to see what they actually make available to the public.

I was just thinking about how everyday around this time GFY seems to be slow, 404, unavailable.

Ditto:1orglaugh

*bangs head on desk * :disgust

Not sure what you're looking for, but I've always had good luck with http://www.stubhub.com/?genre_id=29
and
http://www.nwtickets.com/baseball/ml...s_tickets.html

I used to sell my Giants tickets here and on Ebay - but Craigslist definitely has better prices.

Craigslist

I don't like Tickets.com because of a bad experience I had with them. I bought tickets to an event which was supposed to be listed in Canadian dollars, and they fucked up and billed me in US dollars before they fixed their web page and *their* error. It took ages calling and emailing to get them to credit me the difference, with lots of "read the rules, we don't give refunds" crap coming from their customer service people.

I wasn't asking for a refund, morons, I was asking to not be charged 50% extra for your mistake.

But I did own a bunch of shares of their stock for a month or so back in the day, and make a few hundred bucks! :thumbsup

Are you STILL the world's #1 NSYNC fan?
