As I wrote about earlier Rage Against the Machine is playing the Target Center during the RNC this year. The show will of course be incredible and after Josh brought it up I figured I had to go. So this morning I set up shop and was ready to buy some tickets.
Yesterday I went through and updated all of my Ticketmaster account information. This morning I got up to an alarm at 9:45 (it was a late night last night, I’ll write about that later). I had to set up my laptops down stairs, right next to my modem so that I could restart it if need be being that my qwest for internet that doesn’t suck is still on going. I had both of them loaded up onto the ticketmaster page and starting at 9:58 I started refreshing both browsers….back and forth. Right at 10:00 the page loaded allowing me to purchase tickets, I picked my preferences, quickly deciphered the CAPTCHA and made a sprint for the finish line. At 10:01 I had 4 tickets for the floor!
I win!
After 5 minutes I checked things out again and all the floor tickets were sold out already. Just out of curiosity I looked around to see if I could see what Minnesota’s scalping laws were and apparently just last year they made it legal again (after close to 100 years of it being illegal apparently). So I think next time a big show comes through I may have to try out my game plan again to see if I can make a couple bucks on craigslist.
