Has anyone out there in DISland had the misfortune to do ticketing business with the faintly ridiculous Topspin Media?

Stupidly thinking that there might be some advantage to booking tickets in a PRE-sale, I signed up early for some Sigur Ros action. So far, so good. Well, not really...

Apparently they cannot tell me my seat numbers until the PRE-sale has closed. "Well, well," you might say. "Clearly the tickets haven't gone on General Sale yet there, chief!"

Nope. The tickets went on General Sale a few weeks ago, 48 hours after the PRE-sale. Still, apparently I can contact them again in early November, if I haven't heard by then.

All of a sudden Seetickets seems like a fair and reasonable option. At least Viatoutout have the decency to let you know where you're sitting!

I know, I know. Should have gone for standing tickets after all...
