 They're slow on the phone, too.  They have to read you all that shit, ask you
 if you want their "newsletter," read you more shit........aaarrrrgh !!!
 
 Keets (or anyone else), let us all know if buying "on-line" is worth it.  
And let's
 hear how some of you other punters are going to go about securing tickets.
 I can't decide.
 
 These WHO tours make me a nervous wreck.....

I tried ordering on-line for the Bridge School shows when tickets went on 
sale last summer, while simultaneously banging the phones.  The Bass tickets 
website was eternally frozen, and I never got through even after 45 minutes 
on the phone.  I finally slinked down to my local Tower Records store and 
bought a couple of lawn seats, which I was eventually able to upgrade.  I was 
trying to access the website from work, where I've got a T1 line, and I still 
couldn't get through.  I'm definitely going to find a local Ticketmaster, if 
such a thing exists!

On a related note, it appears that Ticketmaster will handle things for the 
NoCal show...does anyone know if they bought out Bass, or if this is just a 
new arrangement for Shoreline?
