Yeah. I didn’t read the fine print. It also never crossed my mind that my husband might actually have a life and might be busy the night I bought tickets for Cirque du Soleil. “Let’s do something different!” A Christmas present.
So now I’m going with my friend, Sharon.
My husband is almost always at home every night. Except when he’s *teaching a class * on Tuesday and Thursday nights. Duh.
:smack:
In other news, I ran for nine minutes yesterday. I am trying to develop into a person who can run/jog so I walk a bit and run a bit. Nine minutes is huge for me!
Still not seeing any difference in my fat content.
I used Ticketmaster’s site to purchase the “best available seats” for a recent ZZ Top concert. I checked the website a few days later and found two seats, front and center, as the “best available seats”.
The site doesn’t offer me the choice (like airlines) to choose any available seats so I thought it would be in their best interest to switch my tickets since they were clearly wrong when I bought them. They didn’t agree.
I think it is awful the way Ticketmaster does things. Supposedly you can sell the tickets but I could not find anything to click for that. Besides, how horrible could it be for them to switch the tickets from one night to another? It’s really not a loss to them at all. They are jerks.
I can say I will never use Ticketmaster again, but I’m sure the company is the only way to get tickets for some things.
Kittenblue! School night! Well, yes, and I don’t want to go get her and take her back! You could probably go with me if you want–Sharon is supposed to be staying with her nephews while their parents are out of town.
But do the clowns scare you? It all scares me which is why I wanted to see it in person.
Not necessarily. There are a lot of circumstances that could lead to those tickets that are now available being unavailable at the time, from someone having them reserved for a couple of minutes and then timing out, using a credit card to buy them that was later refused, they were promo tickets that a company decided not to use so they dumped them back into the pool, etc. Fact of the matter is that they weren’t available at the time.
The reason why they won’t switch those tickets or the Cirque du Soleil tickets is that there is no assurance (at least in the case of e-tickets) that you didn’t already print out the tickets, sell them to someone else, and then want to trade. If they then sold those tickets to someone else, only to have the person you sold them to use them first, there would be some serious hell to pay for them. They don’t want to open themselves up to that possibility, so they refused. It sucks, but I understand why they do it.
The added charges, on the other hand, get my anger flowing …
