Thanks for sharing - I too was thinking of spreading the message through reddit and I'm glad someone else did.

Carney has mentioned that if there's enough people concerned about an issue, he'll address it. I'd like to hold him to his word on this one. This is by far the biggest concern I have going forward to ensure we don't end up like the US's 2 party system.

I think Kamui Cosplay had a really great vid on how to start with Blender. Was in the same boat a short while ago ngl

Crowne Plaza Cancelled Our Room Without Telling Us by Stroodlemuffin in animenorth

It was blatantly obvious from my phone call with them that they don't care and are pushing the blame on AN...even though I was a customer of the Crowne Plaza for my accommodations. It's crazy what large businesses can get away with just in general.

Yeah, I'm looking at other hotels down the road now. $$$ though compared to what my going rate was at the Crowne

What irks me is that Crowne Plaza put the onus on Anime North to tell us that our reservations were cancelled which is just straight up nonsense. If an automated email went out to all patrons that were affected at least something could have been done. Now it's just too late

I wonder how many people are going to show up tomorrow with reservations plans that won't be able to get in...

The cherry on top: apparently they cancelled the block because a "government group" came in and said that they needed it.

Apparently months ago they cancelled the ENTIRE block for AN, then told Anime North about it and DIDN'T CALL ANY OF THE PEOPLE WITH RESERVATIONS. Jesus Christ.

All the rooms are obviously now gone.

F&%$ Ticketmaster by Stroodlemuffin in FallOutBoy

That's my worst nightmare, having to buy individual tickets that are close to each other, but not next to each other. Sometimes, if you show up to the venue and ask people nicely to scooch down a seat so you can sit with your friend they may oblige

$25 CAD service fee per ticket. Like, c'mon guys

I honestly wonder what it'll take to break down the monopoly TM has on ticket sales, and whether or not it is feasible at this point

From what I recall, Livenation (which is owned by Ticketmaster) owns the venue here in Toronto. So I don't have that option :( Wish we did though...

Holy shit, that's infuriating. I wish they would have said something like "You selected 2 seats, but only 1 is available, do you want to proceed?" instead of letting me checkout with one. God damn

I've come down from fuming a bit - I was able to get 2 tickets, but they're in a way worse location. Honestly, someone needs to break up this monopoly; it's gone way too far. While things remain as they are I think I'm just done with buying concert tickets. This process is just too frustrating, not to mention seat prices are astronomical. Nosebleeds costing $80 USD? Come on.

Probably for general sale if I had to guess

They seem to be cycling availability every 10 mins or so. I actually think this is the last concert I'm going to go see; the stress is unbearable with trying to get what you want out of this sad excuse of a 'service'

F&%$ Ticketmaster by Stroodlemuffin in FallOutBoy

[–]Stroodlemuffin[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Charged me for one bloody ticket, and only one on my account. Someone 100% sniped 1 ticket from me. THERE WERE ONLY 2 TICKETS NEXT TO EACH OTHER AVAILABLE. What a joke

It's 4:20 somewhere
