The Adrenaline Rush (AKA Scoring Tickets)

And so it begins. Dates and onsales are announced, schedules are arranged, plans made, Ticketbastard accounts updated and ready to go, it's 9:55am and you're at your computer (or computers as the case may be), or, if you're a true multi-tasker you've got a phone line at the ready as well...watching the clock, OMG, I'm getting nervous even writing about it....getting closer to the second that tickets become available... take a deep, calming breath, hitting the refresh button...they're on sale....click on desired quantity... ( I'm sure you've mindbended the GA/Best Available question to death)...type in that goofy ass "security" word correctly...praying the entire time that your computer doesn't pick this moment to crash, and that the wait time is less than one minute (HA!)....which it is, for about 5 seconds, then it becomes,2,3, or the dreaded 4 minute wait as the system jams up...is there anything more excruciating than watching that bar twirl...?
