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

My friend just ordered American Idol live tickets from ticketmaster. They charged an 11 dollar PER TICKET convenience fee. What the FUCK is that about?

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 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.
