I just really hope the people who queued up outside managed to get a ticket.. Ticketmaster sold out in 12 minutes (or at least, couldn't issue me with a single ticket, anywhere in the venue... Then surprise surprise, Ticketmaster's 'auction' site has a number of tickets available starting at £100 - £15 more than face value. They shouldn't be allowed to do that... conflict of interest and all that... J.

I can't imagine doing it as a 41 year old, but if I had to I'm afraid it would have happened. Yes, the job thing is becoming an issue with these staggered, messed up ticket presales. I am self employed, and a mom/wife and should be fired with the productivity I've been lacking since precisely Feb 13, 2007! I just want it to be over with so I can see them!!!! : ) michelle in tx In a message dated 3/9/07 2:38:13 AM, jason@digital-solutions.co.uk writes: I went to shoot Bryan Ferry last night (with a camera - however tempting - but that's another story) and on the way back to my car, I was speaking to an aquaintance who works at the NIA (Birmingham).

As I'd had a pig of a shoot and couldn't really be bothered walking up the steps (the paper wouldn't use the photo anyway) I just walked back to the car... But people camping outside the box office??? Wow. Don't these people have jobs to go to? J. ************************************** AOL now offers free email to everyone.
