" Only jay chou is capable of causing the Sistic official website to crash"
lol this was posted by someone on twitter this morning and i chanced upon it during my google search on the event while i was frantically panicking over the bookings myself.
It has been spammed over the tv, newspapers or other media these days that the tickets sales for Singapore's Jay Chou Concert 2010 would commence this morning at 9am. (and that was for internet booking, calling only started at 10am lol) hahas i guess everybody learnt their lesson 2 years ago when people (including me and weiting) got a shock of our lives when all the tickets were sold out within 2 days of sales. Thus, it seemed that all his fans decided to book it at the very first minute to "play safe". Truthfully, i found it rather unnecessary initially to book the tickets ONCE the booking started as i thought there will definitely still be seats available in the afternoon or so. I was lucky that in the end weiting preferred to "play safe" and she managed to get the OCBC card from her dunno-which-relative so we could be under the "priority bookings" group.
Lols that was just the introduction. Ignore that if you want to:p Here is main gist: Since 9am, sistic was damn laggy and people like me couldn't even enter the home page. By the time weiting got into the bookings page, only single seats were available for CAT 1 ($228) and 2($198). If i rmbed the time correctly, that was only 9.45 am. Out of desperation, we decided to just book the single seats that were left. WITHIN 3 HOURS PLUS, ALL SEATS WERE SOLD OUT. LOL. Hence, even though me and weiting have to sit separately during the concert(but no worries..i guess..erm...we will find a solution somehow, heehee(: ), i felt really lucky as compared to others, at least we have gotten the tickets.
SO, i am now officially broke as i own weiting 200 over dollars. It means i
really really really cannot shop for this month already. Truthfully speaking i am really tempted to buy shoes right now, but i have to exercise some self control mans.
