So the Arctic Monkeys have a gig next week. They could have announced the date the tickets would have gone on sale (maybe with a mailing-list pre-sale) and cackled as they broke the internet into tiny pieces. But, instead, they sent out a link to a form where everyone could sign up for the chance to purchase a couple of tickets (with very stringent anti-reselling terms and conditions). I signed up, which took me a couple of seconds, and now I have a shiny, shiny email in my inbox with a code to go and buy a couple of tickets any time between now and Sunday night. SQUEE!!
Oh, effortlessness, how I love you... Why on earth everyone doesn't do this, I don't know. As far as I'm concerned, if something's going to be a lottery anyway, you might as well make the lottery bit explicit and not waste everybody's time.
In other news, I have a vague urge to write Greek tragedy fanfic. Post-Trachiniae Hyllus/Iole, to be precise, because, dude, that's messed up.
