Off to see The Cure at Wembley
Cure tickets are on their way, though of course I didn't buy them from ebay at a vastly inflated markup, I got them from | Ticketbastard at a vastly inflated markup instead. Thirty five pounds each for the ticket, then another fiver each in ticketbastard profit fees, then another fiver postage.
At least we're not following the american system, yet. I followed a link for Ozzy Osborne tickets (again, not actually to ebay, just trying to encourage casual visitors there so I can cream off a little commission from these humungous internet profits, that's what all the new ebay links over in the side bar are about too) and though they weren't on sale yet, I was offered the chance to join ticket club for another forty five dollars so I could buy the tickets that weren't on sale yet, or I could make a minimum bid of $180 to buy premium tickets.
KISS are probably the very worst exponents of this system, I am kind of fearing them ever coming to the UK again. Hopefully with them never having been as popular here as in the USA there'll be no probs getting them.
The one time I did see KISS, at Finsbury Park, I left about half way through to meet some friends in the pub, tsk, where were my priorities?
UPDATE: Cure tickets are going like hot cakes, even the seated ones, glad I got up early and we've got ours. If the chums don't come up with the cash quickly enough, I'll be flogging theirs too, hurrah!

There seems to have been a glut of account hackings today and yesterday, well two anyway, so a bit of popex admin to start the day. Now a meeting...
Updated admin mail to include daily attendance figures, and reports on missing figures. Exciting.
Am in trouble for selling too many tickets in the big names (Robbie, Justin, Stones etc) in the previous, as they would sell out anyway, so they don't really need to pay an affilliate to sell them. Shows that would sell out made up 71% of my sales. This quarter though, they made up less than 25% of sales, so we're back in favour. Looks like there is no chance of earning a commission on worldwide ticket sales, not even Ireland, as Ticketmaster have no competition there so don't need to pay commissions, but we might be able to get some Irish listings in, without buy buttons. One slightly more positive thing was we're going to set up a seperate affiliate code for the emails, see how they're performing.
Ha, also popbitch got rejected for the google adwords scheme, possibly for "Hate, violence, racial intolerance, or advocate against any individual, group, or organization"... I heard ammocity got rejected too and are kicking up a fuss about it, without success. I'm keeping my head down, this is earning me nearly ten dollars a week here. I'll be able to retire by the time I'm 800.
