Ticketmaster is a monster and has been for a long time.

The face when tickets are so difficult to get that even the shop selling them insists its impossible without using a bot.

I was one of the ones there for the Eras tour debacle. I waited in line for 8 hours for those tickets. Their entire system is propped up with popsicle sticks and Elmer's glue.

  Good point, good point...

That’s what you get for listening to Oasis.
- And after all ...

Today was gonna be the day, Oasis would come back to you.
