The ticketmaster Patriots ticket scam

Individual game tickets for The New England Patriots went on sale today at 10AM and, being the rabid Pats fan that I am, I tried getting some. I logged into ticketmaster, navigated to the page for the game I was going for, and waited. At 9:59, I started refreshing the page every few seconds, waiting for the ticket sales to become active.

At 10 AM on the dot, the page became active. I selected 2 tickets, any price, best seat available. Ticketmaster went into search mode and came back a few moments later with the 'no tickets available' screen. This was approximately 10:00:40. Yes, less than 1 min after tickets had 'supposedly' gone on sale, there were no tickets available.

I tried again for several different games and got nowhere. By 10:05, I was done.

I am here to tell you that this individual game ticket thing for Joe Average Pats Fan is a big fucking scam. It's a charade I'm telling you. There are no football tickets available, they are just TELLING you that there are tickets available because they have to. Just like when you see that ad in the paper for a job you really want but when you apply for it you find out that the job was filled weeks ago, but the company was required to post the job opening anyway... What a joke.

DAMN YOU TICKETMASTER

Fast food causes obesity

I haven't been up to much lately. So it goes. What can I say? I've just been letting everything wash over me recently, not that it matters. I just don't have much to say these days.

More or less nothing seems important. It's not important. Shrug. Whatever. I've just been hanging out doing nothing, but eh. I can't be bothered with anything lately.

People should be allowed to go naked in certain recreational areas only - Or specify those areas and you have another persuasive speech topic

I've just been letting everything pass me by lately. Maybe tomorrow. Today was a complete loss, but that's how it is. Eh. Oh well.

I haven't been up to anything. That's how it is. Not much on my mind right now. I can't be bothered with anything recently, not that it matters. It's not important.

More or less nothing seems worth thinking about. Not much on my mind today. Today was a total loss. My mind is like a bunch of nothing, but maybe tomorrow. So it goes. I just don't have much to say recently, but whatever.

Nothing notable going on. My life's been generally dull today. So it goes. Not much on my mind to speak of.

I've just been letting everything pass me by , but so it goes. I just don't have much to say these days. Pfft. I can't be bothered with anything. More or less nothing seems worth doing. I haven't gotten much done recently, but oh well.

People are less moral than 30 years ago

Pretty much nothing seems worth doing. I've just been letting everything happen without me these days. I've just been sitting around waiting for something to happen, but whatever.

I've basically been doing nothing worth mentioning. Not that it matters. I just don't have anything to say these days. I've just been hanging out waiting for something to happen. Not much on my mind these days.

My mind is like a complete blank, but so it goes. Basically nothing seems important, but I guess it doesn't bother me. I've just been letting everything wash over me , but pfft. I haven't been up to anything. Such is life. I can't be bothered with anything.
