The TicketMaster random Roulette Wheel technique

And so the saga continues ...

10am SHARP at
TicketMaster.com ... tix to a show that I really want to attend go onsale ........ it makes no difference who the act might be, its the same roulette game for any given show

For the first 10 minutes all junk is popping up, lots of section 104's, then 103's, then 102's ... ut oh, this thing is getting worse and worse and going further back than where it started ... a bad sign ... But kept at it, spinning the wheel time and time again ... floor section 3, then 6, then back to 127-126 or thereabouts .. don't want anything less than center arena so nixed all of 'em .. it ain't looking too good right now, oh well ....

Suddenly another spin of the wheel drops a section 232 on my screen .... hmmmmm ... getting better but still way too high upstairs ... nixed that one ... More spins and its back to 102, 103, 127 again, with an occasional floor 6 or 4 popping up in the meantime ... it is now approx 10:20am or so, time is running out .... UGGHHHHH !

More spins of the roulette wheel ........

Then a 121 shows up ... almost perfect location, a bit high but not too bad, so grabbed a pair in 121 :)

Satisfied that I'm now *in* with good seats, kept on spinning the wheel just for amusement to see where it might go .... good move ..... a few more spins and its back to the back, 102-104-127 with the occasional floor 1-3-4-6 thrown in for good measure ... another eye popping 121 set, and a few opposite 109's ... tried for a single seat and 110 and 120 pop up

Then an amazing thing happened ... next spin (for a pair)
pulls up section 8, row 21 ... thats FRONT CENTER ORCHESTRA folks !!!

Needless to say, GRABBED that pair immediately! (of course
after checking that my eyes weren't deceiving and that they were in fact 21st row center)



Now I gots 2 sets of 2 tix, both in prime locations ... I'm happy, Life is Good :)

Cheers,
MM
