The real problem is that presales are hardly presales anymore.  Putting elitism aside, when everyone is in on it then it simply becomes a staggered ticket sale.
 
 The same thing happened a few years ago when everyone started to get broadband.  More people buying tickets online and less getting screwed by standing in line at Tower Records.
 
 Call it elitism if you like, I call it being clever enough to stay one step ahead.
 
 I wonder what the next step will be?  I see more artists going the route of Depeche Mode, who made you pre-order their CD to get a unique password.  That's not a bad thing I guess since presales should be for the "diehard fans".

You should get your wife to argue with him, then stick up for her on there, and defend her on here! How iconoclastic you'd be!

I, too, see that happening more often. I know if I really liked an artist, I would pre-buy the album to get better seats when they come around. Hell, Pearl Jam has been getting people to stay on their pay fan club for years for little reason other then priority ticketing.

So are any of you lads disappointed when you find out a chick is a spitter and not a swallower?

I realize spitting the seeds is a little uncouth, but sometimes that is just what you have to do when eating watermelon. Can anyone beat 18' 4"?

My wife never would have married me if I were that well endowed.

It really wouldn't be all that hard to generate unique passwords for each member....
 
 And is there really even a password? I seem to recall people entering anything for the Dandys presale.

They fixed it after a few hours, I believe.

I'm hoping my wife give me the secret password for my member, soon.

Has a thread related to the Foo Fighthers disappeared? If so, this only shows the excellent musical taste of the board administrators. Thanks a lot for freeing us from these awafully sickening bands.

Speaking of sickening prospects, how about you and I go back to your place? I've never done it with a Spanish chick before. Ooooo-lay!
