[Headache in a Suitcase]

[rosephile]

i have a meeting with my boss between 2 and 2:30. so you can pretty much chalk it up that tickets will start to roll out between 2 and 2:30.

Just popping in to see if anyone got tickets yet since I haven't heard a peep. Looks like no.

I'm wondering if the resources they had allotted to doing the U2 tix draw today have been diverted to resolving yesterday's Pearl Jam fuck up as they have stated they are doing, and we have been back burnered. Has to get done before tomorrow morning though, otherwise another colossal fuck up on their hands, that could never happen with Ticketmaster, right?

always possible. i think it's more likely that it would just delay it to later in the day.

but hey, it's ticketmaster. if there's a way to piss everyone off, they'll find it.

Have I mentioned Gene Wilder creeps me out?

Caesars sent me an email with my latest room offers and it almost caused me to have a stroke.

 

[rosephile]

I wonder how tomorrow will go. Will face value exist or if you manage to pull GAs, or will they come up as $700 or some ridiculous number like the last couple shows I attempted on tm?

The Pearl Jam seat re-assignment emails are starting to arrive (and to no surprise it still seems fucked up in many cases), so maybe they'll be able to move on to U2 late afternoon/evening.

How much manual work should there be though? Presumably there's a clever algorithm on how they want to allocate tickets and they just need to push the big old red button and let it do its thing which will result in batches of mails being sent out.

One would think, but alas...Ticketmaster.

At least PJ is assigning things (or trying to) based on meaningful seniority

PJ's system worked pretty flawlessly when they did everything in house. Since farming it out to TM, not so much.

Just got an email from TM... about my upcoming Monster Jam tickets. Not cool TM. Not cool today.

fail.

the next window of "this will happen when inconvenient for me" will be around 7:30 when i have to put the kids to bed.

so - tickets roll out at 7:30 tonight

 

[DeVaul]

Wish my kids were still going to bed at 7:30

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

bedtime starts at 7:30... it certainly does not end at 7:30
