Because of utter disorganisation, I've been trying to find tickets for the third date that Nightwish will be playing at the London Astoria in March - the first two dates sold out, and they added a third.

I tried to book through Ticketmaster, but:

(a) they were quite expensive (£17.50 per ticket, fine; £3.50 per ticket handling charge, erk; £4.95 postage, um?)

(b) there were timeouts on every stage of the ticket-buying process, usually 3 minutes or less

(c) I decided to pay by credit card, and they then sent me on to sign up for Mastercard SecureCode. I'm still a little twitchy about this because by "sent me on", I mean "they opened an IFRAME on the page with a place to enter more details that I hadn't yet given Ticketmaster, such as date of birth".

I decided that this was a little too much, and asked around for other suggestions.

[livejournal.com profile] gwyntar on #larp suggested SeeTickets.com, and I had a look, put credit card details and address in, and about two minutes later had ordered two tickets (for me and Bryony).

Granted, the bright-text-on-black look is still somewhat eye-searing for me, but the site itself seems to be well done, and I'm happy with the ticket ordering process. :)

Is this a private trip, or would you like some other people to join you?

Also, I discovered a knitting circle in Caius: http://cambridge.facebook.com/group.php?gid=6163979815

It'd be good to have other people along - Bryony and I just got tickets for the Wednesday because the other days are sold out (I believe that Pufferfish and ahdok are going on the Thursday). :)
