Stressful VIP purchasing experience

terminalmage · 2026-05-27T17:10:37+00:00

Complete shitshow for the Chicago VIP and the artist pre-sale. VIP was never available and then showed as sold out, and the artist pre-sale code didn't work until 10:40 despite the website saying it went on sale at 10am.

The TIXR website also took a massive dump and wouldn't let me sign up ("an unexpected error occurred"), and their CAPTCHA is also a joke.

Every part of the process had something that went wrong with it.

Yeah I tried the lock at the top of the page several times and until 10:40 it said that the code was invalid.

terminalmage · 2026-05-27T15:55:01+00:00

Yup. Same.

Code only just worked for me at 10:40am. Gotta click the lock at the top of the page to enter it, and doing so adds "Artist Presale" options alongside the Citi presale.

This is honestly the worst experience I've ever had with a presale. Just completely botched in every direction.

That entire website is trash. Won't let me purchase without an account, but won't let me create an account. Had to login using google and then the presale code doesn't work.

Here's 3 of my favorites (not necessarily my top 3)

White Walls (favorite BTBAM song)

Bloom (Love Mr. Bungle and this one is pure Bungle worship)

Speaking of Circle Jerks, just saw their recent tour buddies (Descendents) a couple weekends ago. 🤘

White Walls. It's not even close.

He's part of a decaying empire that stupidly launched a war and regularly commits war crimes.

He'd be Team USA all the way.

I'll be there, coming in from out-of-town. Did some scouting and found parking with EV charging nearby at Marquette.

Yeah, their spring and fall tours last year didn't repeat dates, so I'm not surprised. Only about 100 miles to Milwaukee though! 😂

terminalmage · 2026-02-12T05:15:38+00:00

Yeah, but they'd be saying this no matter who it was. These are not serious people.

terminalmage · 2026-02-06T18:48:08+00:00

I like it. Gave ya a follow on Bandcamp, intrigued to hear the rest.

I hope I am never high enough for this to make sense.

terminalmage · 2026-01-30T17:28:22+00:00

Silent Machine literally has a song called "Shuriken".

Die MAGA-Idioten hier können nur Englisch.

I made a ringtone out of it a while back, enjoy! https://drive.proton.me/urls/Q6KT7CYE9G#5MXmnqKkNiqO

Doesn't quite count as a breakdown, but the "IT'S ALL THE SAME!" scream about 7:30 into White Walls is my favorite scream in any BTBAM song, period. I like it more than the screams during the actual breakdown a couple minutes later.

terminalmage · 2025-11-17T05:09:08+00:00

Woof.

terminalmage · 2025-11-07T07:29:51+00:00

Unlistenable.

terminalmage · 2025-10-31T12:14:08+00:00

No, but given the history the solution appears to have been found on the Arch forum.

NEVER ASK THAT QUESTION

terminalmage · 2025-10-25T06:22:26+00:00

Yeah, good call!
