Actually, I believe if you click on the link to purchase tickets at cc.com, it will simply take you to the ticketmaster page where the tickets are on sale, so, alas, it appears we can not avoid the evil of ticketmaster. But I can certainly understand why you'd want to. I, too, have had little success with them. Let's hope we all have better luck this time. Btw, which show are you trying to buy tickets for?

"The babes, the feast, and the toga conspire to give Adam the bearing of a Caesar (one of the late, inbred, lunatic Caesars, perhaps, but a Caesar nonetheless.)"
-Bill Flanagan, at an after-concert soiree with the band and Co.
"If I didn't have my spoons, I'd go insane."
