Well, maybe this had come up before but I'm pissed. Dire Straits is to 
play here at Portland and since they never have before and probably 
won't be back for several years I wanted to go. So off to ticketron.
Oh, I'm sorry sir but we don't have tickets for that show, we never did.
Call the box off and they can help you out. So I callthe box office, 
long distance of course, and loa nd behold these tickets are available 
at *ALL* ticketron outlets. So back to Sears to visit the ticketron 
machine again. Again "all it says is go to the box office we can't get 
you tickets". So again I call the box office this time to complain and 
to try to VISA my way into some tickets (the box office is 1 hour away)
NO. I'm sorry sir but that concert has sold out (in the last hour). The 
first time I called there were 100 seats left.
 So moriarity take this one to court. Nobody else is going to deal with 
it.
