Who hates Ticketbastard?
Anyone else had this happen?
You long onto Ticketbastard at the exact second tickets are supposedly onsale for a concert, yet they're all sold out within seconds?
Just this past weekend, I tried to get David Gilmour tickets. I went on the Ticketbastard site at 11:55am and kept constantly refreshing the screen until 12pm when it said tickets were on sale for the Massey Hall shows. I immediately tried to get 2 tickets only to find out both nights were already sold out.
What gives here? There's no physical way that all the tickets could have sold out in zero seconds flat. That's just not possible. Unless ... they really weren't offering any tickets unless you bought the "travel package" for $1500. Hmmm....
My only options at that point were 1) nothing 2) buy a pair of tickets off a broker site for between $500 and 700 USD. So, what did I do? Well, it didn't involve option 2) unfortunately because OF THE RIDICULOUS AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT I REFUSE TO SPEND ON A CONCERT, EVEN IF I HAD IT WHICH I DON'T!
Hard to believe the stories from ppl of seeing Zeppelin in 1973 for $4.50. More like $450 these days. Argggghhh!

I bought Kalan Porter tickets once, five minutes after they went on sale, and I was stuck in the balcony.
I DON'T GET IT! AND I NEVER WILL. I guess I'll just have to win some tickets from CHUM FM next time.
I guess this may be showing my age LOL but the first real concert I went to was Pink Floyd in Toronto in 1994 and I called ticketmaster the minute they went onsale, got through after about 10 or 15 min.. and got 3 tickets in the 32nd row on the floor..and the tickets cost only $40 each!!! ahhh, the good old days.
