I hate Ticketmaster.
Aug. 19th, 2008 01:53 amI finally got around to buying my Dragon*Con membership tonight... except I can't.
I chose "will call" as my ticket delivery method, as it seems to be the only method available to non-US residents. On the next page, I filled out my credit card and billing address information, until I got to the "country" drop-down. Canada isn't listed. WTF?
So, I thought, maybe they lumped us in with the U.S. I went back and chose whatever they call their instant ticketing method (where they charge me $2.50 to email me a ticket so that I can print it myself???), but the country code is pre-filled with "United States" and I can't choose "Canada".
*headdesk*
I sent them an email. I'm looking forward to seeing their explanation for this.
Oh, and you do not want to know how much I spent for my airfare. Again... WTF? It was easily twice what I've paid in the past... and as you no doubt have figured out by now, I'm in the habit of buying my airline tickets at the last minute. (I could have gotten cheaper airfare if I'd been willing to miss most of the first day of the con, admittedly. I don't know how I'm going to get to the airport for 7 in the morning, though.)
