Quick recommendation - SeeTickets.com

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.
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. :)
