These 'sold out in five minutes' stories are getting silly - BeigePants has hit the nail on the head - certainly the tickets sell out quickly, but the ticket companies websites/telephone lines simply aren't up to the job, they start reporting that tickets are sold out yet those of us with a bit of patience keep clicking refresh and eventually get there. I've had this several times this year (Reading Festival, Kings of Leon at Brixton) where events were reported as sold out, yet after an hour of hitting refresh I eventually got in. The internet is great but its really killed the fun of browsing the paper NME adverts for gigs, deciding whether to go, arranging which mates can go then buying tickets, maybe days after the tickets went on sale. Nowadays you panic buy the tickets then decide afterwards whether to actually go or just sell them on ebay.
