So I thought I would get tickets for the missus and my daughter for her birthday.

Not happening: "There are more than 1000 people in front of you in the queue", it says on Computickets website.

Apparently some people have been in this online queue for more than 5 hours!!!

WTF?

Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him a bicycle.

All my life....
Awake! for Morning in the Bowl of Night
Has flung the Stone that puts the Stars to Flight
And lo the Hunter of the East has caught the Sultans Turret in a Noose of Light

...and we get to hear her on the radio 6 hours a day until December. How. Awesome.

Very incompetent queing system...

Do yourself a favour and check out the computicket Facebook page - they are copping some serious abuse from unhappy people that were kicked off the queing system yesterday.

Myself waited about 8 hours for my turn to buy tickets, one moment there were 1000s of people ahead of me in the que, next moment I had 6 minutes left to finalise the purchase! But, got tickets for me in the missus, looking forward to December (would have preferred a Madonna show though....)

I recall my poppie and a friend sitting around all day at the house trying to get tickets for Blobbie Williams, how long ago was that? And they had issues with Computicket then. Looks like Computicket have not bothered to upgrade their system!

Apparently after 5pm it quietens down considerably. The question, of course, is whether there'll still be tickets by then.
I'd agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong.

Sounds like either Steers own Computicket or Computicket own Steers...... Far too much queueing for something that isn't really worth queueing for :whistling:
Don't surrender your life to the momentum of mediocrity. Keep following your dreams and one day you will tick them off.

I might be tempted to be in the queue... I think I suicide detonation might be of public service.
There is evil! It's actual, like cement... I can't believe it. I can't stand it. Evil is not a view... it's an ingredient in us. In the world. Poured over us, filtering into our bodies, minds, hearts, into the pavement itself.Posted Image
