[Slowhand] Charlotte woes

[RMS1]

I got tickets for Orlando with an ECAccess passcode on Saturday through
TM, but it too took 15 minutes to "find tickets".  Plus, they didn't go
on sale at 9 AM like the ECA website said, but at 10 AM along with the
general public.  I got fairly decent seats, lower section, row Q, kind
of near the stage, but I guess nothing on the floor was available by
then.  They were $95 + fees.  Last tour, in 2004, I saw him in Miami,
for $80 a pop.  But Orlando is about the same distance, with an easier
drive, and we have someone to crash with.  And it's on a Friday night!
I'm just happy I got some tickets, period.  

 

She's waiting for October!

That stinks, Steve!  I was also suprised no one mentioned the
Ticketmaster snafu.  When we were getting tickets for Detroit, the Fan
Club tickets option wasn't asking for a password.  It took about fifteen
minutes for them to get the box up, but by then, anyone and everyone
could have gotten fan club tickets without an access code.  Ah
well...such is life.

	I am surprised that no one has commented on the Charlotte snafu.
I read the information on www.ecaccess.cc the night before the sale,
printed off my ECaccess code and learned that the sale would be through
www.charlottebobcatsarena.com rather than www.ticketmaster.com

	 

	www.charlottebobcatsarena.com is incredibly slow, even at 11:30
PM with a fast Internet connection.  At 10 AM, on a slower wireless
connection, it was virtually impossible.  I kept getting messages that
the site had too many users and to try back later.  Eventually, I got
through, only to find that there was nowhere to enter an ecaccess code.
I tried to see what tickets were available to the general public, but
the site or my computer quit responding.

	 

	I checked www.ecaccess.cc again.  To get ecaccess tickets for
Charlotte, one had to fill out and download an .xls file, print it off
and fax it to a telephone number.  I was away from home with no printer
or fax machine.  So, I walked to Bobcats arena.  They knew nothing about
ecaccess.  I then walked a few blocks to the library, got a library
card, logged onto the Internet, filed out the form and printed it off.
Then, I walked several blocks to Kinko's to fax it.  Twelve hours later,
I have no way of knowing whether I will even get Charlotte tickets.

	 

	Somehow, scalpers don't seem quite as bad tonight...
