New event, new tickets

I was just going to check this morning if the tickets for RAW's Tour of Defiance that was announced on Friday's event were going to be on sale in Ticketmaster when they go on sale on Saturday, when I found out that they had actually gone on sale five minutes earlier. With trembling hands I typed in three (3), got good seats allocated for us and called Chu to confirm ("Sorry, don't have time to talk, can you call me back" - "No, the tickets have gone on sale NOW" - "Oh my god, yes, book Birmingham" - "Ok, bye!") - and ta-daa, managed to get exactly what I wanted.

I then quickly informed my mates Andy (who wanted to come with his girlfriend) and Woja (who was more than convinced by Friday's event and was coming with his friends) who frantically also managed to book tickets although by the time they got on to it best tickets were already gone. It seems that different companies selling tickets are allocated different blocks to sell: I got mine from Bookings Direct that did not suck this time (but five minutes later when Andy tried it, it was impossible again), but then he and Woja managed to get tickets from NEC Birmingham itself. It all just leaves me wondering - I doubt very much if there will be any tickets left by the time they start selling them officially on Saturday...

Anyway, having just experienced a very tiring but rewading road trip, we're in for another... Can't wait, of course.
