    I am sure those people that do want to go see her perform care nothing for your opinion...
    There is nothing wrong with her music, its just the way she presents herself that puts most people off, if I want to watch a clown perform i will go to the circus.

    I think this is a good system they are using, short of upgrading their own systems.

    38 000 people in the queue at one point. Apparently all standing tickets for CPT are already sold out lol.

    It's not so much the case of standing a band or artist, it's more the fact that is this really music nowadays?

    But yes it is my opinion

    It's good to see they implemented a queuing system, at least the server did not crash (like with U2).

    However, i agree with everyone ,why can't computicket upgrade the servers to handle more people?
    I have a feeling my turn in the queue will only be in a week...and what if i am not infront of a computer?

    I joined the queue at 9:25....

    Well, fact is that most people have no idea what real music is today... the blind leading the blind imho! Well actually the deaf leading the deaf... any of you want a ride on Gaga's disco stick?

    Here's a real musician that can kick Gaga's ass in a million ways any day of the week:

    It's not the banks. It's Computicket. They decided to make the whole 3d secure thing mandatory so you have to sign up for it with your bank first.

    Got kicked out the site earlier when booking tickets for the IRB Junior world cup.

    Why could they not let you subit your details and then you go into the queue? Once you get in front the system automatically processes your purchase and emails you the details? That way you dont have to worry about getting to a PC quick to finalize the purchase?
    Now why you loer en kyk gelyk?
    Is ek miskien van goud gemake?

    I rarely agree with my son when it comes to music. A new world has opened for me - this morning he said Lada Gaga is GAGGA!

    Dont know why they don't do a lottery type system for this like they did for Fifa world cup etc.

    You get to apply during a period of a week or 2, after this time, if demand outweights supply, random draws are done. If not, everybody gets the tickets they applied for.
