More Ticketmaster suckage and a missed concert
When I purchased the concert tickets online, there was no option for me to print my own ticket. I’m not sure if that’s not available anymore or what. Since the concert was only two days away, I obviously couldn’t have the tickets delivered, so my only option was to go pick them up from my local Ticketmaster outlet at the Oshawa Centre. I fought through Saturday afternoon crowds and made my way to Sunrise Records, only to find out their “Ticketmaster was down” and they couldn’t print tickets. The guy told me to come back on Monday, and I told him the concert was on Sunday. So my only option was to drive two cities away to Pickering to pick up my tickets.
The worst part of all is that we didn’t even make it to the concert. Saturday night and Sunday morning was the worst snow storm of the year and we couldn’t make it to Arrow Hall in time for the show. Parts of the highway were closed, so we might not have even made it if we tried. I really think the show should have been canceled/postponed because of the shitty weather. Especially considering the show was in Mississauga, which is west of Toronto.
I’m going to check into my options, but I’m pretty sure I’m out the money I spent on my ticket. I checked out the band’s MySpace page, and a lot of people posted angry messages saying how they couldn’t attend the show and the band should make it up to their fans. I’m not expecting much.
