in a short space of half hour, my First Love was gone..
this is depressing.
4:38pm - received an email alert from Sydney Festival about a play.
a very interesting play. by Samuel Beckett. i read on. i clicked the link.
the banner displayed for the website shows a familiar face. the star of Samuel Beckett's "First Love", a world premiere. the face was that of ralph fiennes. my heart skipped a beat. i could see him in a live performance...i had to act fast.
4:43pm - messaged a couple of people, mulled over who might want to come see such a fine performance with me...ian and i mulled over it. the excitement was overwhelming...
4:50pm - half the season has been sold out already when i got online to book, and each time i refreshed, my tickets went to someone else
5:00pm - 2 shows left...limited seats...i caved and tried to book 2 seats. an error message popped up in contempt that i was not fast enough. "limited seats only"
5:05pm - "single seats only" yet i could not buy it...frustration...i call ticketek line just in case...
5:10pm - i got through, and the ticketing officer checked. one spot. i jumped. i lost, to someone with a faster click of a mouse than my ticketing officer. last ticket gone.
5:15pm - i am devestated.
i was reassured they may release more tickets in due course, but oh so empty...i may not get to see him in a live performance afterall...
*sigh*
