I've cracked out the determined looking Sarah Slean icon, this can only mean 1 thing... Harbourfront concerts. I'm so happy she's doing 2 TO shows again and that they're only a couple of months away but I know I really dislike the venue when the first thing I thought that came into my head when I heard the news was "crap."

I've been eagerly awaiting any news of a Slean show since it's been a while since I've seenher perform at all, and it'll have been just over a year since I've seen her perform her own material. BUT it's Harbourfront, which means a potential fight for tickets, dealing with untrained staff... I'm trying to give people that work there the benefit of the doubt and say that they're just not given all information about the shows that play there. The one last year that I dealt with at the box office was just not a nice person, there was some amount of twisted pleasure there in making sure that the people in line didn't get the tickets they were waiting for...

Anyways *yay* shows :) I'll be there for sure. I'll be happy to be inside seeing the show. I cannot wait to hear the new material! I'm less than thrilled when I realize I have to deal with getting tickets from this venue again.

Harbourfront update... they've improved their customer service over the past year by exactly 0%. The guy on the phone actually laughed at me when I asked for management as I'd been through being told "there's nothing to know" bullshit already. He put me on hold for a moment, I presume to talk to his manager although if I've learned anything in the I got the contact info for the director of marketing and media relations who I ended up talking to last year so I've emailed him and we'll see if at least there is some information.

Honestly is it so hard to know when tickets go on sale? Yes I need to know sooner than the day before/day of because I'm organizing buying tickets for people who are out of town. This year I'm absolutely not buying the same amount of tickets (last year, 2 shows, 19 tickets and WAY too much organization and trouble) but I will be buying for more than just myself and so I like to have more than 5 minutes notice as to when I can get tickets. Last year I lucked into tickets for the first night because they went on sale on ticketmaster and weren't announced anywhere and I'd resorted to searching for tickets every day as no one who worked for the theatre know anything.

Every year I hope to be somewhat surprised and maybe end up dealing with someone helpful. But no, same old same old.

eskimo_jo tagged me for this one:

Remember your first LJ? The free one with only six icons? In this meme, you have to choose and post the six icons you would keep if you had no choice but go back to the six limit. They don't have to be in your list of icons you're using right now, but you have to explain why you chose those specific six. Next, you have to tag six people to do the same.

( clearly I've been here too long, my first LJ had 3 icons but I'll play with 6 )
