As in "If I had bought the tickets for $471, there would have been a domestic squabble"?

I wonder who comes up with the words and if they actually try to pair two similar words together. I need to go find me a web developer...

I don't remember what show it was for, but I actually had "scotte f***ed" as a combination. (Yes, the f-word.)

I typed in the those words and it continued on it's merry search. (I actually stopped and took a screen capture first for proof.) Of course, often you need only get 1 of the 2 words correct and it'll let you go on.

I thought I read somewhere that the words are computer generated from scans of old books and that by having people type them in, the words are then stored and so you're actually transcribing a scanned picture of an old text to digital media - kind of a human OCR scan. That being said, I have serious doubts of TicketBastard doing anything remotely noble, but what the heck, I still believe in Santa.

Wayne. He lives in Idaho and drinks Dark & Stormies.

It would've a little more than a squabble. Unless of course they were great seats.

Yes, I'll take two, but it's going to be a while before I can pay for them as I am currently unemployed.

I will take them, though...if you can wait on payment.

I'll be parked outside the venue bright & early. We need the first row of the rv lot.
Maps? I'll get you some. Watch this thread for further developments.

Actually, we'll be pulling into Bull Run Campground sometime Wednesday.

Any secrets you guys are willing to share on how you got seats in the 100 sections? I went for best available the second they went on sale, and mine were ALL in the 300's (Had 3 different browsers/laptops going). Ended up buying lawn seats, not worth $110 a ticket difference to sit about 30 feet further back in the front of the lawn.

I'm not going but I thought I'd see what there was (and frankly if I pulled up something REALLY GOOD I'd say the heck with it and go) but I was only looking for a single and am still getting Sec 101

I don't think there are many secrets. Just quick fingers and being in there the second they go on sale.

I'll be wandering aimlessly again for the Saturday show only this year. Got right into TM within a few seconds, punched in for just 2 best available (wanted to try and get close) - "Sorry, there are no tickets available"

Went right back in and up came section 302. I ended up with 4 lawn seats at least.

surfpirate · Post by **surfpirate** » February 19, 2010 6:12 pm

LOL. I'm sitting in the EXACT SAME SEAT for both the Thursday and the Saturday shows.

Orch 1 Row L Seat 7
