Submitted on 2009/02/09 at 9:16pm On Monday 2/2/09, I went on line to Ticketmaster just before 9:00am to purchase tickets for my son and I for the 5/4 show at Nassau Col. When I went into buying them the Ticketmaster website said processing your wait time is about 15 minutes. It said don’t press the back button as you will loose your place in line. After 20 minutes the screen changed and said the site was now unavailable due to routine maintenance. I tried again and again and after doing this for over 2 hours, I finally gave up. Unlike other fans, I was not redirected to another site to purchase them for more money. I have been a huge Bruce fan since around 1978, when my brother got me hooked. I have seen Bruce many times, but I’d say not in about 12 years because with starting a family and the so called bills my family has, I have been unable to afford them. But this year was going to be different! Now my son is becoming a big Bruce fan, and on 2/4 I turned 40 years old, so I said I’m going to scrape together some money, get tickets, and bring my 12 year old son to the greatest concert on earth. I planned on it being a great bonding thing for my son and I to do this, and I know it would be something my son would never forget!. Well Thanks Ticketmaster for ruining my plans and I know ruining many of Bruce’s fans plans. Ticketmaster should be fined and or whoever runs this company should be prostituted.
