maybe they'll announce a second show?

[ticket whining - you may want to skip *g*]

No Justin tickets for tapedeck and I yet.

Got through to the Ticketek website by about 9:14 (was trying the phone too), and could not pull up a single ticket in VIP, GA, Gold Reserved - nothing. Let alone two tickets. Not even two nosebleed seats.

::keeps mindlessly refreshing Ticketek, to have another try::

If they announce another show (which there is room for, in the schedule), maybe I'll have to say "screw work" and go to a Ticketek office and queue up.

There are already tickets on Ebay at double the price, of course, but I don't think I love Timberlake that much.

ETA: second show on sale already, but I can't get through. ARGH!

ETA(2): Definition of frustration - getting on, but the site running so slow that you time out before completing the transaction. Took me 5 minutes to get to the page where you select the category of tickets.

::keeps refreshing::

Two tickets purchased for the second show. Not great, but I was gonna take whatever I could get at that point :)

Oh honey! SUCKITY SUCK!

My friend queued and there were six of us trying to get into the website and we only managed to get four tickets. Two to each show but they're pretty shite seats.

Good luck. *stabs ticketmaster*

I got them, finally! They are gold reserved, but not great, but we're going :)

But that sucks so much for you guys :(

[vaudevilles.livejournal.com]

Gold is good. We're in silver and right off to the back and side. *sigh*

But at least we're going.

Yeah, the Auckland shows sold out in under an hour - http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,22299754-1702,00.html

Popular bastard!

If it's anything like it was over here, there will be tickets released closer to the show, and they'll be good seats/VIP. The Toronto show this past Monday was sold out for months, and then I pulled two VIP tickets just a couple of weeks before the show.

Also, even the nosebleed seats are good. You can pretty much see most of it from anywhere. In Toronto in January, Ashley and I sat one row from the very tippy top of the arena, and it was fine. Justin was tiny, but we could see everything that went on.

Ticket angst sucks.

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I should check, but I'm not sure how much that happens here.

We're at the back of the first tier, in the corner, so hopefully the view won't be too bad.

He really has tried to make it accessible to everyone, bless him.

[babygotbass.livejournal.com]

YOU GOT SOME TICKETS |O?

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

Yup, back of first tier for the second show. This boy is just too popular :)

[nu-breed.livejournal.com]

Gah, this whole thing has been so stressful.

The tickets to the first NZ show sold out in TEN FREAKING MINUTES and apparently they decided not to announce the second show anywhere but on the website, so loads of people (including me) didn't know about it. The second show went on sale five minutes later and that show sold out within 15 minutes.

So no Justin for many NZers, including me, which is most vexing. Oh and TradeMe (NZ equivalent of EBay) is of course offering many tickets for ridiculous amounts.

Really disappointed, dammit.

Yeah, I got back on the website (second time) about 9:37, and saw that there was a second Sydney show on sale at 9:40. I had a suspicion that might happen, they did a similar thing with Robbie Williams. But as the site was running so slow, I couldn't even pull up tickets in the couple of minutes I had left once the sale started, and then I couldn't get back on until well after 10.

I'm so sorry you missed out, maybe they'll announce a third show as the first two went so quick?

[nu-breed.livejournal.com]

Here's hoping!

[indybrat.livejournal.com]

Yay you! I know the frustration, my time I finally got my ticket I was glad I a)got one and b) have a seat and not GA.

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

As soon as it brought up tickets, I was clicking on to buy them, I didn't even look at the seating plan (the site was sooo slow and I only had like two minutes left *g*).

[turlough]

Ack! At least you got tickets in the end but that really sucks!!

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

I'm feeling very lucky we got tickets at all, at this point :D

[littlerhymes]

Tickets! :)

(I got silver tix to the 1st show in the presale, so guess I won't be seeing you... However! This means I can look forward to your accounts of the 2nd concert. Yay!)

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

Awesome, we've got both Sydney concerts covered :D

[legally-blonde.livejournal.com]

Yay for tickets! I hate how annoying ticket websites can be when you're trying to get tickets.

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

They really are a tool of evil!

[legally-blonde.livejournal.com]

They are!
