With ya man, after losing GAs on Tuesday to the absolute inefficiency of Ticketmaster, I'm a bit more optimistic today. However I've resigned to the fact I'm going to take anything and be happy with it.
That still doesnt cure the sour grapes I have over Tuesday's mess, but I am trying to view that from the proper perspective. I do believe U2's business dealings in that situation are what eventually caused the entire mess to take shape and I do place blame against all parties including the band, however I'm sitting here wide awake on a Sat morning ready to do battle for tickets again, because I can see the bigger picture.
Do I dislike U2 or their music? I admit I've been a bit jaded since Tuesday, however I want to believe that something will be done for all involved that were "screwed". I will literally be happy with any 2 tickets that I can pull today, and furthermore I only hope that U2 will re-examine their business associations and do something better next time around, failing that I will probably never associate myself with U2.com again. I do believe this problem falls on managment more than anyone and there is definitely some neglect on all sides when negotiating the allotment of pre-sale tickets.
Fuck I hate this shit, I've never been this distraught with anything this band has ever done. If I lose out on tickets today so be it, but hopefully we'll get something in the way of an answer or even a form of restitution in the way of added dates very shortly with a better presale.
