09:50 AM - Here's my ticket story
|
|
I got into college at 8:45 since i had a lessen at 9, i didn't think my teacher would mind me being a bit late as it was for something important.
Finding that none of the computers in the computer room were letting me log on (you get used to those types of things at my college) i went up to the classroom and managed to log on to the one there. It wasn't quite 9 yet so i went on to my bank website to check that the money i had transferred on wednesday was actually there... to find out it wasn't.
I ran down to the phone box to call my dad but of course he was half way to work so he didn't pick up but i left a message at home for him and at his office just incase.
Then i went back up to the classroom, understandibly pissed off and complained to my teacher about it. I forgot she was a Smiths fan, as soon as i told her she told me i could use her card as long as i paid her back, which i could so she went down to get it and i logged on to nmetickets.
Ofcourse it just kept saying this site is busy, please go out and try again later which irritated the hell out of me, i was so close! Noticing there was a phone number by it i asked if anyone had credit and this one guy did so he started calling the number and i kept trying the site with my teacher's card- if i hadn't been so set on getting my tickets i may have reflected on how all these people who had never said a word to me were going out of their way to help me.
At about 9:40 i got through on the site, to see that all 3 were sold out. I thanked everyone for their help and got back to revising for my mock exam on the 3rd.
It was wierd, no one apart from me and my teacher knew who Morrissey was but it seemed to hit all of us hard when we saw they were all sold out.
I got a call from my dad after the lessen, he figured my call would be about the tickets so he called ticketmaster and got trough about 9:05 and there was an automated message saying they were all sold out already. I'm going to try again next friday but i'm really not holding my breath.
I know i havn't been a fan for as long as most of the people on here, or most of his fans generally but this was my first real chance to see him since i had no money last tour. It just would have been nice you know.
