Anyone have a copy of SFU S3E13? The web is letting me down..

In other Six Feet Under news, it's coming to Showcase this fall (article in the G&M yesterday..).

Canada.com/FP, Fees for a song
After years of free, but illegal, downloading, Canadian music lovers are mere months away from pay-for-song access to their favourite bands

I've met Brian Robertson, and he isn't on the side of the fans, nor the side of the artists.

Man does Ticketmaster suck.

Their site crashed hard and fast today (they should have staggered the purchasing for the essentially two shows with a combined capacity of 70,000). Once I got in I had some floor seats but their server crashed again when I tried to pay and I lost them. Anyhow I did buy two sets of two (Section 228 row 10 and Section 113B row 5).

I think it's time one of the big players in the computer industry (Google, Yahoo, Amazon,...) steps up to the plate and challenges Ticketmaster because, horrible fees aside, the user experience at Ticketmaster is awful. When trying to buy tickets all you see is ODBC Microsoft connection errors. No tickets. No love.

Has anybody had any luck buying tickets at the TM outlet in the rec centre for a high demand show? I suspect there wouldn't be a lot of people there. But the best strategy would be to have one person working the Internet, one trying the outlet and then co-ordinate by cell..

Update: It looks like Ticketmaster is continuing to open up new blocks of good seats so if you missed getting decent seats during the rush, try again. Of course we have no idea about the layout so I'm pretty hesistant about getting floors this late in the game.

Natalie updates her weblog and look at the gem we get:
I haven't been homesick for Canada or anything.
Don't worry, we're having a good time without. We're even still making fun of Benny even though he isn't here :). And Jen Dyck (aka Strawberry Shortcake) is complaining we treat her too much like one of the boys (aka too much peer pressure to drink). Ah, good times.
