There's nothing wrong with the website, it's just that those Manson tickets you're trying to get are sold out.
 
 You do realize it's Marilyn Manson, not Mansun the Brit band?

Belle & Sebastian actually...Bowie's show isn't even on ticketbastard yet..for Patriot anyway.
 
 I've just spent the last 45 minutes trying to buy tickets and gave up...and I'm not going to take time off work to go on safari to hunt down an outlet for tickets.scam only to be charged a high "convenience" fee after being put through so much inconvenience...guess I'm not going then.
 
 Remember the last B&S show jag....my loss was your gain. I think I'm jinxed by the Glaswegians.

Okay, I figured out what was wrong with the website.
 
 I went on one last time and said to the computer screen,
 
 "right then you fucking peice of shit, this is the last time I'm going to try to buy tickets and get royally shafted by you and your theiving bastard fees. If it doesn't work this time you can shove your tickets and the whole brass section of Belle & Sebastian up your fucking arse-hole"
 
 worked like a charm!  :D

If you give me 5 bucks plus your credit card #, I'll jog over to the box office and pick up a couple of tickets for you.

Thanks for the offer, but I got the tickets...like I'd give you my credit card #.  :roll:

You would have probably already subscribed to all of the porn sites, anyway.
