Well that was fun, up at 5am on a Bank Holiday so I'm ready to start phoning Ticketmaster at 6am to try and get a couple of tickets.

Fifty minutes later I think I have succeeded, which is good as by 7am all tickets had been sold.

The process was a pain and god knows how much it cost me in phone calls, at least the "official" number didn't connect 90% of the time so I only had the free BT voice telling me all lines where busy, the other lines would connect first and then tell me all operators were busy so charging me for the call.

Did get through the first couple of stages of the "automated" system only to then be told they were busy!

All I need to do now is get the booking confirmed as there are a lot of stories about people thinking they have tickets only to find out later they don't!
