WE APOLOGIZE FOR THE INCONVENIENCE AND APPRECIATE YOUR PATIENCE AND UNDERSTANDING.

FUCK THEM! Now we have to fucking watch that fucking site all fucking day because it could pop up anytime after then. GODDAMNIT I AM SO PISSED right now!!!

Do you have two tickets or one ticket for July 24th?

All i know is the tickets i got for the 23rd and 24th better count!!
Or bolly will be shown the door!

OH MAN I'm SOOOOOO FED UP - I SAT AT MY COMPUTER ALL DAY FOR THIS!!!! WHY DID THEY WAIT 5 HOURS TO TELL US THE SERVER WASN'T EVEN WORKING???

I kNOW HOW U FEEL DORKUSA!!!

At one point I had all three shows in my cart but I could never fucking check out. What a waste of a day. Now we have to check that goddamn site every three hours after 6 tomorrow to make sure it hasn't popped up yet. Just announce a time fuckers.....Ticketmaster can handle the volume of users.



God I hate being this cranky but nothing will cure me right now.

I'm sorry you guys!

WHy didnt they use Ticketmaster to begin with??? THEY ARE THE TICKET MASTERS!!! And how come we couldnt just call and buy them??? Doesn't Billy care that some of his fans dont have computers? This was a horrible experience and the worst part...i'll have to do it again tomorrow AND possibly again on tuesday!!!!! If I dont get tickets I'm blowin up the Orange Peel

Hahahaha this is exactly how I felt. I listened to Adore and that was just what I needed. It just brought me gently back down and I'm okay with the way things went today now. The Orange Peel site has a new update, not much but at least they give a shit it seems.

Sorry to anyone I offended earlier.

I understand, but at least you get the fucking shows!, i would wait on my computer all week if it ment getting tickets to a show like that in OZ

I can see the headline now: "Smashing Pumpkins fans die of head explotions due to ticket screw ups...film at eleven"

Hahaha, is it back up yet?

No...

Yeah - but what would you do if they did have a show in OZ - and got beat out of getting tickets because you have a slow internet connection??? Thats why I don't like this set-up, because any semi-fan has as much chance of getting a ticket as me. At least when there were lines you could get there a day ahead of time and the most dedicated people that waited the longest got the tickets...now it depends on your internet connection??? What if your internet goes down minutes before tivkets go on sale??? IT's just too faulty a way to do things.

don't get me wrong here, I agree that it sucks what happened yesterday. I'm in the same boat as you. I tried with no luck yesterday, and I'm going to try again whenever they go back up on ticketmaster. but the point I want to make is.....take a chill pill, man. it's not the end of the world that you didn't get tickets yesterday. rest assured the band and everybody involved in setting this up wants it to go off as smoothly as possible. life is not predictable, and shit happens. just try again today, or tomorrow, or whenever, and give it your best shot. that's all you can do. throwing a fit won't help you get tickets. at least you've got the opportunity to get them. plenty of people out there won't have the band come within a day's drive of them for quite some time.

Tickets will now go on sale at ticketmaster.com. We here at The Orange Peel will announce the time of sale when it is set. Ticketmaster is still working out the details of the transfer. Thank-you for your patience

my patience ran out about 24 hours ago but as long as I get tickets then I will be happy.

The tickets for The Orange Peel was too complicated. Not to mention it was COMPLETELY unorganized! If I was trying to get tickets to see them there and this happened, I'd sue the company.

give me a break.....


on a serious note, does anybody have any updates when the tickets will go on sale on ticketmaster? they were saying they'd give at least a 4 hour notice.....it's 3:00 eastern now, and I don't see anything definite anywhere....so logically it won't be before 7:00 tonight, right?

I don't know but it looks like I may be sleeping in 3 and 1/2 hour shifts tonight and taking off tomorrow. Part of me wants it to happen in the middle of the night so those up get the first stab. Though that would suck for those who sleep through it. I wish they would give 24 hour notice. Four is too short notice.
