I got into Radio-Activity. I did it. Oh my God. I feel like I survived a nuclear winter.

a friend managed 30 tickets via a command line script

(passing on to friends not scalping tho)

fauxmarc, Wednesday, 22 February 2012 19:48 (twelve years ago) link

i hate your friend

i though these were impossible to scalp since they are will call and you need a valid id though?

bene_gesserit, Wednesday, 22 February 2012 19:50 (twelve years ago) link

i also hate your friend, although to be fair, i hate a lot of people this afternoon

sorry but I hope your friend can't use them because of the ID thing (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻

it's a competitive world

obliquity of the ecliptic (rrrobyn), Wednesday, 22 February 2012 19:57 (twelve years ago) link

i hope your friend gets stabbed in the heart by a robber

max, Wednesday, 22 February 2012 19:57 (twelve years ago) link

isn't it kinda appropriate that robots took all the tickets

iatee, Wednesday, 22 February 2012 19:58 (twelve years ago) link

fucking robots

I will go to a Joan Blondell film at MoMA one of those nights and sneak in, ha HA

i was wondering if it would be possible to hide out overnight, mixed-up files of mrs. basil e. frankweiler style

bene_gesserit, Wednesday, 22 February 2012 20:03 (twelve years ago) link

i bet if you had a good enough novelty costume you could walk right in. people would just assume you were good to go.

Z S, Wednesday, 22 February 2012 20:06 (twelve years ago) link

Wow, what a tremendously fucked-up thing to do. How would the ticket company not catch that?

I have one thing to say: "Roxanne Shanté" (Stevie D(eux)), Wednesday, 22 February 2012 20:18 (twelve years ago) link

I GUESS THAT CINNABON GETTIN EATEN (Edward III), Wednesday, 22 February 2012 20:32 (twelve years ago) link

seriously though, protip free of charge: don't go onto a thread full of people that tried and failed to get one ticket so you can str8 brag about the friend that cheated the system to get 30 tickets

Gonjasufjanstephen O'Malley (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Wednesday, 22 February 2012 20:32 (twelve years ago) link

...or they'll cry

fauxmarc, Wednesday, 22 February 2012 20:34 (twelve years ago) link

its just kind of a dick move tbrr

Gonjasufjanstephen O'Malley (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Wednesday, 22 February 2012 20:34 (twelve years ago) link

why do you hate robots so much

iatee, Wednesday, 22 February 2012 20:35 (twelve years ago) link

This is shit, sorry for you guys.
A big YAY for Clarke B's Radio-Activity ticket though!

For the record, I was not one of Fauxmarc's dickfriend's 30 robot recipients! My girlfriend logged on right at noon (I had to be away from my computer) and got us tix after a long wait, and being kicked off like twice... I couldn't believe it, and the shock deepens as I keep discovering just how many people tried and didn't get them. Sorry for everyone, and I wish my apartment was big enough to house you all for the big Kraftwerk LP listening party I'm throwing for my "IRL" pals that weekend (none of whom got in either).

Clarke B., Wednesday, 22 February 2012 20:42 (twelve years ago) link

When I rule the world I will outlaw online bookings and make people wait in line at the box office for tickets. This is the only system that even begins to make sense. I remember when ppl used to camp outside box offices for 24 hours to be in line for Springsteen and U2 tickets, if you were prepared to do that you got your tickets. Obviously it would mean that people who can't get to the box office would lose out but I think something has to give.

ban this sick stunt (anagram), Wednesday, 22 February 2012 20:43 (twelve years ago) link

tickets should just be auctioned

iatee, Wednesday, 22 February 2012 20:45 (twelve years ago) link

artists would make more money

iatee, Wednesday, 22 February 2012 20:45 (twelve years ago) link

people camp out in front of the apple store to buy iphones - but not for concert tickets. welcome to the future

geeta, Wednesday, 22 February 2012 20:45 (twelve years ago) link

Anagram, I totally agree. People should have to sweat a little for the really difficult-to-get tickets. I hope the Iron Maiden shows in May don't have the same ridiculous crunch/failure rate--although given that they're playing small arenas, I doubt that...

Clarke B., Wednesday, 22 February 2012 20:50 (twelve years ago) link

iron maiden at MoMA = urgent and key

geeta, Wednesday, 22 February 2012 20:54 (twelve years ago) link

apple creates reasons for people to camp out so it'll get on the news. some random show isn't gonna get media attention if some people are camping out all night, so it'd just be meaningless inconvenience.

iatee, Wednesday, 22 February 2012 20:56 (twelve years ago) link

tempted to call BS on the 30 ticket story

or if true, good luck rolling up to the will call to claim those

dmr, Wednesday, 22 February 2012 21:31 (twelve years ago) link

i know at least a few majordomo music types who are lamenting on facebook that they couldn't score either

little clouds of citrus spritz as i peel (forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 22 February 2012 21:33 (twelve years ago) link

pretty sure the 30 ticket story is bs...have heard it repeated across the web but no one has any details

bene_gesserit, Wednesday, 22 February 2012 21:41 (twelve years ago) link

more like fauxfauxmarc

max, Wednesday, 22 February 2012 21:42 (twelve years ago) link

if it's true there's no way the person won't get caught since they are blabbing so much about it...so at least there's that.

bene_gesserit, Wednesday, 22 February 2012 21:45 (twelve years ago) link

but how do you prosecute a robot?

iatee, Wednesday, 22 February 2012 21:46 (twelve years ago) link

metal detector at the door?
