(I dedicate this spiel to all the people who have ever said "Fuck you, yak, you're a fucking arsehole". Here's some karma for you...)

Fuck Episode 5.

Fuck not getting a confirmation email.

Fuck getting an sms at 9pm the night before saying "Hey, you've got Chaser tix booked for tomorrow!" after you'd told your friends that you didn't get them because you didn't get a confirmation email sent, and they'd all made other plans.

Fuck deciding to go anyway, and getting held up at work by some idiot parent making you late by using you as a free counselling service.

Fuck the rain making my normal 20 minute trip into town stretch to 50 minutes and getting EVERY SINGLE RED LIGHT on the trip into town.

Fuck walking half a kilometre in the pouring rain to get to the studios 15 minutes later than the advertised time.

Fuck seeing 2394872394827394283 VIPs and a massive queue - a quarter of which hadn't even gotten their tickets yet because there were 'no more tickets'.

Fuck standing there for fifteen minutes thinking "this is just going to be like last time when the bastards overbooked and I had to sit on the floor with some chick's arse in my face.

Fuck getting the shits and deciding to piss off and then waiting TWENTY MINUTES to get from that UTS street near Chinatown, along Harris St and onto Broadway.

So no. I don't know what Episode 5 is going to be like. And I think I'm going to boycott it because I have the fucking shits 

[Thaluikhain]

Ok...I was going to make the obligatory bad joke about your subject there (using the word "mine")...but perhaps I should wait til you've calmed down.

Fingers crossed, though...

Seriously though...your episode 5 adventure doesn't sound like fun...

[WithTheDawn]

Haha, I told you guys she would make a rant thread .

[whophd]

Wow, totally. We predicted this, but had no idea how right we were.

Little Yak's horns are steaming. Poor thing.

Look, dear!  Your book's on the shelf this episode:


(open the image in a new tab to see it full size)
(apologies, this was taken from around about the back row)


On This Week's Glasshouse Replacement:

- Yep the whole ACA thing is there.  The reaction is ... thorough.  Biggest sketch in a long while.
- Warehouse Guy is back
- A new musical segment — Pseudonym rejoice!
- Current Affairs segment is getting really stuck into reporters by name now. Solid stuff.
- More Maccas ads (verging on the libellous?)

No emo-bashing this week, sadly.  Oh well, it was a big week for death and MySpace.

CK.

[Keridwen]

Fucking HILARIOUS.

Thats all I have to say on the matter.

Oh and Yak - that SUCKS - if only you'd got there about 20 minutes earlier.

(That's not helping the situation, is it?  )

i can't open the fucking picture because my fucking mouse is broken and the right mouse button doesn't work

Sounds more like karma for you Yak.

I thought "VIPs" as you call them go to the green room and watch it there.

Though it sux you didn't get the confirmation.

Well. Yeah. Karma for me. But the satisfaction of knowing that karma happens for everyone else I guess 

I'm assuming the big mass of people loitering in the 'posh' section with the comfy couches and teles were the VIPs...and not the mob of cattled being herded into a line for half an hour.

Except there were fucking gazillions of them. Are they handing out VIP tickets with Maccas Happy Meals now or something?

TELL me about it!!!

This weeks VIP contingency wasn't as big as last weeks, though. There were HEAPS of them!

I want to know where we get these Happy Meals. 

[~Julie~]

Perhaps let them know (in milder terms) what went down at tickets@chaser.com.au

Maybe tickets should be numbered or something...

[Keridwen]

Well tickets were numbered last week, and we were all in order, but it didn't matter because they didn't check.

This week, AJ (the security guard who's always like "2 LINES!!!!" didn't even tell us ONCE that we should be in two lines until it was just time to go in.  But it still went down without a hitch. Well, unless you don't consider people standing up to one side in the audience a hitch. .

The line of people who were turned away was HUGE. How much do they overbook, I wonder?

[WithTheDawn]

Its getting rather annoying with the VIPs actually. We usually get there around 5pm, to ensure we are at the front of the line, so we can get nice seats and all. Other weeks it has worked, but the last 2 weeks, a massive number of VIPs have rocked up (at around 6.45, sipping on chardonnay and the like), and have managed to take every single one of what you would call the "good" seats.

Pricks.

I imagine the excess number of them has has a direct result on the number actual ticket holders turning up a little late and getting turfed away as well.

[Keridwen]

Then they stroll in, la-di-da, no worries, no hurry, just strolling in on their proverbial red carpet, lolling around and sitting down wherever takes their fancy...

 

Eh, good luck to 'em. If they ca get away with it, power to them.

We'll try and infiltrate their ranks next week.

[~Julie~]

Well perhaps a bunch of "VIPs" should be nominated each week to assist with queue management and hand out overflow tickets for the following week to genuine ticket-holders, as Yak suggested in the ticketing thread...

with $10 ABC shop gift vouchers for their trouble... and a hug.

Wow. So all those people were told to rack off? I guess I made the right choice to go book shopping instead then

Seriously though - that's pretty fucked up. Imagine if people had travelled a fair distance to see it - like Philo from the 'gong or GC coming from the Blue Mountains.

Anyway, I'm supposedly going to check out that Paul McD show tomorrow night. I'll see if they've got a better system in place
