Avenue Phew

Well it started off with JOEry mentioning that Avenue Q would be performing in Sporeland, but it was late and we sorta didn't register it properly - we thought that the discussion was that Avenue Q would show in Sporeland, while everyone knows that it doesn't stand a chance of performing in Bolehland.

Then the folks at Life Liberty were discussing about it (read the 100 plus comments to find the subject somewhere...) so we realized, "Oshit we need to get our tickets before they're sold out."

Avenue Q? By now quite a fair number of people should know about it already. We first heard one of their songs when 'Vin sent a Youtube that had World Of Warcraft characters singing 'The Internet Is For Porn.' Never realized that the song was from Avenue Q tho'. So when joeRY told us about Avenue Q early this year we looked it up, and it wasn't long before we got ourselves the songs. :D

And of course, we'd started sharing the songs with lad, Chief, and others. Chief enjoys musicals. :)

So when we told the Chief that Avenue Q's showing in Sporeland, we were already making the transaction at the same time. :P So the two of us were chatting online to settle on a date and time, and once we'd confirmed on the details we proceeded to buy the tickets online.

Only to realize later on that night that the date of the show we bought would clash with our YKLS production. And we weren't gonna bersusah-payah go for rehersals every week and memorize the songs and then only decide to sing 'just for fun, will not be participating for the production, sorry'. So we put out the plea for people who may be interested in taking the tickets off our hands...

So next morning we'd conferred with the Chief as to a new date, and the Chief told to sell off our current tickets first before we buy new ones. After all, buying from Sistic meant nonrefundable nonexchangeable tickets.

Then we read the email:

Should there be any discrepancy, please alert us at (65) 6348 5555 or email feedback@sistic.com.sg no later than 12noon the following day.We regret to inform you that any discrepancy reported thereafter cannot be rectified.

Did we breathe a sigh of relief. Thankfully we'd read the email before noon, so we called them up straightaway, mentioned that our tickets erred (in date, time, and seating :P), and had our tickets swapped for the following week. And in the process, we got better seats! Now we know to check via phone reservations as well when buying tickets.

Avenue Q, here we come!
