The Fly
Sigh. Just had a big ticket-buying fail experience for Kyuss.
Fail the first: Tried to get tickets on Ticketek's website less than a minute after they went on sale. Got an error about being unable to obtain tickets, despite it saying they were available. Kept trying to no avail.
Fail the second: Found out Moshtix was also selling. They were still available! Hooray, I think. I select two, whack in my details, click buy ... and THEN it tells me it's sold out. Apparently they don't reserve tickets while you buy, and in the time between selecting them and clicking buy, it had sold out.
Fail the third: Ticketek still says tickets available; still can't buy them. I phone them instead. Turns out the website just hadn't been updated and the show sold out in five minutes.
Goddamn. Oh well, it's not QUITE Kyuss per se, since Josh Homme isn't there, but I was pretty keen, and Charlotte even moreso. First time I've ever failed at buying tickets. Never had problems with bigger, more frantic sales like U2, or when Crowded House played the Forum!
