jesus christ. it sold out in 90 seconds. i was hitting refresh and the site froze cause so many people were probably doing the same thing and now theres not even tickets!!!!!
keep trying. i tried and tried, got on right at 5 and my site froze (i even have a super high speed connection), but my brother managed to get through just a few minutes ago...so keep trying!
oh, and big THANK YOU to laist for posting this!
I just got mine. It wasn't sold out as of around 5:10. You just had to keep trying the access code.
BTW, thank god for LAist. I would have never heard about this unless I randomly checked out the site at around 5:06.
I still don't understand it: Beck's appeal. He's mastered blandness.
Does anyone know what time he's supposed to go on? It says music at 8pm, but is that an opening band or is it just him?
canceled.
