Tickets to Elton John & Billy Joel

What an interesting experience today. Tickets for Elton John and Bill Joel's show in Seattle this November went on sale at 10:00 this morning. I was sitting at the computer logged into the Ticketmaster website just before that. I was supposed to try to get 3 good tickets for my wife and a couple of friends. Every 10 seconds or so I would hit the refresh button hoping to catch the site just as the tickets went on sale.

Bingo, all of a sudden I was ready to go. I requested 3 "best available" tickets and got three on the floor about 1/2 way back from the stage. Then things started going downhill. I called my wife to see if they sounded all right. She wasn't sure that we wanted the floor tickets, so had me try again. Everything went to pot then; the next set of tickets was at the farthest end of the venue from the stage. Nope, try again. However, that was probably a big mistake because no matter how hard I tried I wasn't able to find 3 tickets together. So even though it was only about 8 minutes into the sale, we ended up with 2 tickets, not three. Sorry ladies.

Oh well, Key Arena is a fairly small venue, so even though the tickets are still some distance from the stage, the girls should still enjoy the show.
