OMGosh!!

Georgie,

There HAS to be a better way of doing this.  I GOT my ticket via
Ticketmaster but my goodness!!  It was a chore.  I went to a computer at
Kinko's right at 10:00am , and was already logged into Ticketmaster,
etc, etc. I did some refreshing and when it was time to get tickets:
one.  Ticketmaster makes you type TWO  security code words now.  Makes
it hard for those of us who don't type that fast to begin with  , and
two, of course, in about one minute, the tickets were GONE!!  No matter
what I did, and I tried everything.  They were gone, or so I thought.

I got offline and I called a friend and was , as you can imagine, very
pissed off because, I thought I was gonna have to pay a mortgage to some
one on Ebay or Stub Hug to get into the event.  Well, he told me that it
is a remote possibility that more tickets could be released at a later
date. 

I went to the library and looked online and sure enough on Ebay there
were outrageous prices and all that.  600 dollars for a pair!  I decided
to go on Ticketmaster again, and evidently they did release the upper
level and I got one in the upper level.

My friend told me that is what they probably did. They probably sold the
floor and lower level first to see if they would sell out and then start
selling the upper level.

I don't see why the upper level could not have been sold at the same
time.  Here I am, at 10am, thinking I did NOT have a ticket and thinking
I would have to pay some scalper on ebay and then about an hour later,
out of the blue, the venue /WWE/Ticketbastard decides to release tickets
and then I have a ticket.

I am very grateful that I got a ticket, don't get me wrong .  I just
think there has to be a better way is all. 

Just thought you would like to know how I made out with getting tickets.

I am looking forward to attending as it will be a special weekend.

Terri
