Some people got the e-mail earlier today about the $35 Austin City Limits Festival 2006 pre-sale. I didn’t get a damn thing and typically I get two e-mails from them, one to my GMail account and one to my work account. I got two copies of the notice in late February mentioning that the pre-sale was coming, but today? Nada. Zip. Zilch.
Don’t go running over there because they went through 3,000 tickets in 42 minutes. The comments on Austinist indicate not very many people got through. The pre-sale last year was impossible as well. I tried for about 20 minutes and never got far enough to actually order tickets. As of this moment, I still haven’t seen an e-mail from them. Damn.
I registered for the Cingular phone updates in the hopes that their SMS-fu is superior to their e-mail-fu. We’ll see.
