*fails*

Cobra Starship = no tickets available for the Middle East show. I'm really sorry, folks I said I'd grab them for! I feel wicked bad. I had computer trouble this AM and didn't hit ticketmaster until after 10:30. I kept putting in a lower number because I was like 'well, so I won't have extras for the ticket community, at least .... oh. Oh noes.'

So um. Really sorry! Many sad faces! Please to be seeing [livejournal.com profile] 2damnoldforthis for assistance! *crossing fingers that at least some of those all-sold tickets were spares* Meep. :-(

ETA: I was totally imagining scrounging for tickets high and low until like the day before the concert and being all stressed about making sure the people I'd offered to buy for got to go, and within five minutes of posting, [livejournal.com profile] janet_carter and [livejournal.com profile] quettaser had saved the day. I LOVE fandom. You guys rock. Gerard Way could take lessons in life-saving from my friendslist. *grins*

I have 2 extras because Ticketmaster said my order didn't go through the first time.

And I think [livejournal.com profile] quettaser and hopefully other people bought spares, too? Because, wow, I thought it would sell out, but that was fast.

Dude, I knew it was going to sell out, but I didn't think for a second that they'd all be gone by *10:35*.

I know; I mean, the Middle East is one of the smaller venues on the tour, I think, but damn.

I was a little bit pissed at Ticketmaster for the "oh, your order didn't go through, please try again! Oh, look, have two email receipts for two different complete orders!" thing, but I figured there would be people to take the extras *g*.

OH OH OH. Could you please offer them to [livejournal.com profile] fayemeadows and [livejournal.com profile] lordessrenegade? I would feel roughly a million times better!

[identity profile] janet-carter.livejournal.com 2007-12-01 04:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, yes, of course! (People who have first dibs on my extra FBR tickets forever = them and you and MissP, duh!)

You are a LIFESAVER, dude. I'm so grateful -- I just felt awful!! I usually have great ticket mojo and always buy spares (so of course it's the same to you and my other local favorites), but talk about FAIL this time. Damn you Cobras! *grins*

But seriously. Thank you so much! *hugs you to bits*

Eeeee, yays! Thanks so much!

And thanks, Giddy, for trying!!

Wait, so I have a ticket?

[is hopeful]

I've already talked to one person who has extras, and even though I managed to get mine through presale, I bought four this morning just in case people needed them. As soon as the West Coast 10 AM dates go on sale, I'll be posting stuff over at [livejournal.com profile] 2damnoldforthis.

How many did you need?

[identity profile] giddygeek.livejournal.com 2007-12-01 04:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh man, how much do I love my friendslist right now? LIKE INTENSE CRAZY. [livejournal.com profile] janet_carter has 2 extras that I asked if she would offer [livejournal.com profile] fayemeadows and [livejournal.com profile] lordessrenegade which would leave me just needing one, for me. If you have an extra I'll totally snag it and can paypal you ASAP!

[identity profile] quettaser.livejournal.com 2007-12-01 04:32 pm (UTC)(link)
DONE AND DONE.

Fangirls, kind of the best ever!

[identity profile] giddygeek.livejournal.com 2007-12-01 04:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Dude, sweet. Email me instructions for your paypal? My email address is giddygeek at gmail.

And really. Fangirls ARE the best ever. I'm so grateful! I was telling [livejournal.com profile] janet_carter, I usually have good ticket mojo, but these cursed Cobras have defeated me at every turn. Epic! *grins*

You kids are all so sweet. Fandom rocks that way.

[identity profile] giddygeek.livejournal.com 2007-12-01 04:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Fandom does rock that way -- I've always been so impressed by the generosity and thoughtfulness of fandom. But I'm still kind of a little dazed, because I did NOT expect the problem to be solved today, let alone in about 15 minutes or so. *grins* My friendslist needs CAPES and THEME MUSIC, they save the day so hard!

I love fandom so much.

{wow, sorry. That's really very random}

I had no luck with Ticketmaster for tickets in the NW, but it turned out that TicketsWest still had presale tix. Did you try other outlets just on case?
