Title: If you had problems with dropped calls this morning........

blame Take That. Three routed 416,000 to Ticketmaster alone, between 9 - 10 am.  :eek4:

I wonder how many were successful?

My former colleague whom I met today was trying to secure tickets for that, she was trying to get through for two hours.

I joked that she wouldn't be missing much.

Sad isn't it.

A girl who I went to middle school with whom I was close friends with for quite a while in the 90s was nuts about them, when I used to go round her house she was always playing their music, did my head in.

Ended up taking round my MC Hammer and various compliation tapes round for a bit of variety.

I managed to get a couple of tickets online about 6:15pm from ticketmaster after trying all day. They are for a surprise Xmas present which is going to earn me some serious brownie points!

Strangely, where I work, almost all the women there listen to cr*p like this, and all that tried to get tickets actually got them.

Maybe they were up very early Niall.

Devoted fans were probably up at 5 and hitting the website within seconds of them going on sale.
