John Whittingdale is apparently a huge Meaty fan.
He is a Cabinet Minister.
He is also one of the "rebels" opposing Mr Cameron on the Brexit issue.
I can only conclude Meat's music brings sound judgement and common sense to a person's character.

Got tickets for Bruce. But had to keep trying as utter piece insane crap TicketShitter kept saying there were no seats left. If there is one company I wouldn't mind seeing disappearing or going broke it would be TicketMaster. I don't get how they can get away with operating the way they do "Search for tickets" instead of just showing what is available, keeping you waiting for ages (this is 2016 and cloud servers/networks can easily throttle demand they have) and that mental captcha malarky. Outrageous for the money they turn over and profit they make. Valued at $8 billion but in reality must just be worth $8 considering their asshole technology.

If you can believe it, there are worse ticketing systems than TM. You haven't lived until you've spent an eternity in Tickets.com's "Virtual Waiting Room".

Hah I actually worked for Tickets.com 10 years ago. But no I didn't have anything to do with their online stuff. Working on Chelsea FC season ticket stuff was interesting. I believe a small venue nearby I go to uses them. Not the best system I guess but really don't get how TM get away with 2005 User Experience and technology since they are the biggest player. All the tout reseller systems in the UK look and work far better. Sadly these support and facilitate a horrible aspect of concert ticket sales.

I had GA tickets for Bruce at Madison Square Garden in my hot little cart, and when I clicked "Buy", I got an error and the tickets were gone (many reported the same problem).

My friend who works in IT happened to be sitting next to me at the time (he was also searching), and his explanation of what he thought happened was a bit too technical for me, but he said it was a problem in the system, and as users, there's nothing we can do about it. You would think with all the money TM charges they could correct these issues.

2.1% of the population Mr C. She probably stopped off at the chippy on way home?
