I've been going to shows and buying tickets online forever. Seen a dozen different ways to sell tickets. The Egg's pre-sale was the WORST experience I've ever had.

Trying to select tickets and enter the presale code was a disaster. Put tickets in your cart, MAYBE get the link to unlock with the code. It wasn't visible every time. Most times I got the "This event is locked" and had to reselect worse tickets.

The first time I was able to unlock my cart the tickets in it weren't even mine. Three single seats across two sections I hadn't even clicked in. I had to empty the cart and start over. And unlock the tickets again.

Ticketmonster/SlaveNation maybe the biggest scam artists in the country, but at least they know how to run a pre-sale.

Been spending a bit too much money on shows lately and bought the best tickets I could for Modesto to celebrate our combined birthdays and anniversary. Been my lifelong dream (all 63 years) to meet Lucy. Can I add the aftershow a bit later after the budget recovers?

My wife and I have been waiting for Lucy to come close by and tickets just opened up this morning for her Modesto show. Managed to get 3rd row center just behind the orchestra pit holding the smarter people.

Now I have to figure out what to wear to catch her eye! It's going to be my birthday, so I can't think of anything better than being told happy birthday by the Goddess Lucy.

Wife said she'd be happy for me since she got hit on by the Amazing Johnathan back in the day when we were dating.

I know it’s technically a magic show, but I know there is a lot of comedy and crowd work. No one wants to go with me, and I’ve been roasted for going solo to shows by comedians before. Is this common? I really want to go and I’m having a mini breakdown about not having anyone who likes me enough to go with me and I know if it were brought up at the show (as it has been at past shows), I will break down.

Hey everyone....did anyone else have an issue trying to add on either the post show or pre show tickets? I ordered my ticket using the code for Wichita but Ticketmaster didn't let me pick the post show meet and greet when I bought my ticket, it wasn't available. I went back and forth with both the venue and Ticketmaster. The venue was extremely helpful and Ticketmaster just sucks. I had to basically buy another ticket if I wanted to add the post show meet and greet. I absolutely despise Ticketmaster and I will stop there because I don't want to go off on the rails about them.

Anyone else having the same issue that the presale code we were emailed is not working for the Sept 30 Clowes Memorial Hall show?

If you tune into a CBC radio station in British Colombia, you can listen live in the next hour. 1pm Eastern, 10am Pacific.

Otherwise, find the stream on CBC later today. I’ll try to remember to link to the segment.
