I’ve Got Tickets!

Praise be to the gods of Formula 1. I’ve got tickets. I finally worked out that the cryptic error messages that I was receiving were suggesting that the group of tickets I’d requested were not available in my preferred area. Of course the ticketing web site, still one of worst I have used for many years, did not suggest a smaller number of tickets, nor suggest a different area, it just “crapped out” on me. Nice job, Omniticket.

So I then decided to try to buy just the one ticket, and boom, I had one. And then another, and another, and another, none of which were together but at least in the same general area. And another tip if you’re still trying to use the web site… after each purchase or attempted purchase of tickets, you need to completely close down your web browser and start the browser afresh before you try again. Did they design the site to wind people up on purpose?

Having got four individual tickets, I upped the ante and tried to buy four together in a more expensive stand and, lo and behold, I got them, so at least I can sit with some friends, which is nice.

So, Takashimaya Post Office will be seeing me on the 26th September, followed by the “Esplanade Waterfront Grandstand”. Wooohooo!
