Wilma is my savior, literally so too. I mean, let me tell you a story:
Last night, I come home with the intention of ordering tickets to the Bamboozle Festival which is on two days, with two different concerts. The May 3rd show consists of Jimmy Eat World, Jacks Mannequin, and Paramore. The May 4th show is the show I intended to order tickets too. Panic at the Disco, Phantom Planet, Motion City Soundtrack, Cobra Starship, among others.
So I order the tickets with the intention of May 4th, because obviously that's the better show. I love Jimmy Eat World and Jacks Mannequin, but the rest of the lineup sucks. It's just not worth the money to go. So we decided we're going to go (Dan-O and I), and ordered May 4th tickets - however - after checkout - we notice that they gave us May 3rd tickets and not May 4th.
I was fuming, as you can possibly imagine; I went onto WaMu's customer care and tried to get the transaction reversed because much to my chagrin, Ticketmaster's return policy is pretty much non-existant...So, after I did 2+ hours on "The Ron Show" I took a shower, cooled down, and basically wanted to kill someone anyway. I didn't, however, kill anyone. I went to bed, partially drunk, but mainly with just a headache.
I woke up realized that my car-insurance was due, gave my dad a check and went back to sleep. Then realized (I thought anyway) that my car payment was due, but it wasn't. I get to work, they're busy, and I decide to call Ticketmaster (I was hold for about 25 minutes, before I decided to hang up). About an hour later, around 5:30pm, I called back. I talked to someone who didn't speak english...thankfully they couldn't help me; and shipped me over to Customer Service.
This is where Wanda the greatest Ticketmaster Employee evar comes in. She basically comes right and tells me "You fucked something up" and I was like "I think it was Ticketmaster.com" and she says "Okay, I'll see what I can do" and works her magic, I compliment her and brown nose and she comes and says "You wanted May 4th right?" and I said "Yes..." and she says "Alright, these tickets are going out immediately, you'll have May 4th tickets." I was ecstatic that she had taken care of this, and gave her many many props. I even said that my brother and I are her new best friends...
Then I called in to make sure they were the right tickets, and the automated service said they were tickets for May 4th in Buffalo...
So, I was pissed again, as I held on the line I felt my blood pressure boiling to the point of explosion. I held in my anger, when another woman came on the line, I do not remember her name, but she told me that the tickets are for the Meadowlands in New Jersey and not anywhere near Buffalo. Thank God for that.
Wilma did good, she hooked a stressed out and angered guy out, and really put the service in Customer Service. For that, I am very pleased, but still pissed that Ticketmaster.com is such a piece of shit.
Alright, so the concert I'm going to, and have General Admission tickets for is May 4th, according to this person:
Motion City Soundtrack, Panic! at The Disco (new album out this coming month March), Phantom Planet, The Hush Sound, Bret Michaels, 30H!3, All Time Low, Anti-Flag, Article A, As Tall as Lions, Automatic Loveletter, Between the Trees, Charlotte Sometimes, Circa Survive, Cobra Starship, Danger Radio, David Costa, Elmo's Big Band, Envy On the Coast, Finch, Forever the Sickest Kids, Gym Class Heroes, Hip Hop Karaoke, I am the Avalanche, I Was A Cub Scout, Just Surrender, Mayday Parade, Paper Rival, Scary Kids Scaring Kids, Senses Fail, Straylight Run, The Academy Is..., The Attack, The Banner, The Bouncing Souls, The Cab, The Dear Hunter, The Fall of Troy, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, The Receiving End of Sirens, The Starting Line, Thrice, Tyga, We The Kings, You, Me, and Everyone We Know, My American Heart, The Blackout, The White Tie Affair.
So, this concert is going to be fucking crazy.
