What would cause The Stranger to think they could actually start a ticket service? The 2010 Hump tickets are a complete failure.

    I can't speak to Hump, but The Stranger did the Capitol Hill Block Party ticketing and it was pretty flawless. We sold more advance tickets than ever. It is a new service so I'm sure there will be hiccups, but really, the Block Party experience was stellar.

    Hey Dadachamp
    I'm the publisher of The Stranger.
    Sorry you had a hard time buying tickets to Hump. Yesterday morning we had a huge demand for the tickets both here and in Portland and sold most shows out-we sold over 5000 tickets in a just few hours. The system was pretty slammed and slowed things down.
    We completely understand that it's a drag when the show you want to see sells out before you can complete your order.
    Hope you got your tickets anyway.
    To some degree it's the nature of web systems when the demand far exceeds supply the whole process slows way down.
    We're working very hard to make a good local ticket service. Sorry that we didn't work for you this time.
    Tim

    Yeah. I'd really prefer to get ripped off by the likes of Ticketmaster et al. We really shouldn't have a local company with a stellar reputation trying to provide that kind of local service when we could stick with the great options we have now.

    Of course if you are having a problem getting tickets, you might want to ask how you could get it fixed. This also might be best addressed to The Stranger.

    But if you need help from Qland, at least tell us what the problem is (you can just add it in the comments to this answer) and I'm sure someone will help you out.

    Not really an answer because I don't know the current issues involving The Stranger ticket service and Hump tickets (the only thing I've heard is that they are "Selling Fast" ... dontcha just find it hilarious when people say that /all/ the time when they are in support of more people going)...

    But I had to comment because I absolutely adore your avatar, Duchamp for the WIN!!!
