The Longest Night

I had a hunch that it would happen again, and it did.

Tickets for the 25 September 2009 D.N.A Taipei concert went on sale yesterday at 5:55pm. Not surprisingly, ERA's crappy system couldn't cope with the enormous demand and within 10 minutes the entire rock zone area was sold out! *gasp* Just like last week, ERA had reboot their system twice, at 9:00PM and 11:00PM.

My friend in Taipei who Q-ed for hours for our tickets at the ticket counter could not get any good tickets either as by the time she got to the counter, the only seats left were really far from the stage. It seems a fan who was first in the Q could only manage to get tickets for the NT$2880 section !! WTF.

I later found out that ERA had pre-printed tickets before they officially went on sale and these were snapped up by internal buyers (!!!) so by the time tickets went on sale officially, almost all the good seats were gone *sob*

Ashin announced during GMA red carpet today that there are no tickets left for the Taipei concerts and Stone mentioned that they're working on adding a 4th concert *shudders*
