  • Los Angeles radio station KROQ 106.7 is
    having their annual "Almost Acoustic Christmas" event.  Every
    year, the show always sells out fast, but I thought I'd try my luck
    anyway. On Nov 17, 10AM was the pre-sale tickets to KROQ "street team
    members" so I attempted to get tickets for Night Two of the event. Here's how it went...

    09:59am - started pressing refresh on the ticketmaster page
    10:00am - page finally refreshes to allow ticket purchase, start inputting necessary information (3 steps)
    10 seconds later - SOLD OUT!!!!

    Now, I try this again on the public sale time on Nov 18, 6PM. SAME
    FRIGGIN THING!!!! damn, I'm impressed. It is a phenomenal line-up too,
    so I'm not surprised at how fast the tickets went.  Well, maybe
    next time I guess.
