I'm doing a story and need a simple answer.

In the U.S.A., when I want to buy tickets to a concert or sporting event, I generally go to Ticketmaster (both an on line ticket service and a ticket service that has locations all over the country).

What is the equivilant of Ticketmaster in England?

Some dodgy geezer on Gillespie Road at Arsenal who'll sell you a ticket, take your money, then disappear into the bookies to get the ticket. Or some guy on Chester Road in Manchester who dances in a shifty manner with better moves than Michael Jackson ever had, all the while complaining that he can't make a profit.

On a serious note, try getmein.com, but bear in mind that these people aren't called 'scalpers' for nothing. You'll pay way over the odds.

Kindest Regards

Probably.

Sorry about that...

The Michael Jackson story that I needed ticket company names to write

Here it is. Thanks for the help.

I was looking for a new angle and figured that no one had taken this one yet.

From your story, J-Man:

"Getmein.com,"

Sounds like an Arian Bortherhood outfit, maybe needs a Gemeinschaft'Gesellschaft after it instead of plc?

Skoob suggested the "getmein.com."

I thought that the name was perfect for Michael Jackson, the famous "anal intruder" of little boys.

Get Mein.com could also be a Jewish/German divorce deal company...

(as in Get (Gett?) = Jewish divorce) etc...

Liked the story, BTW!

It's a genuine website! Honestly.

I'd never take a cheap shot at J-Man.

Google it.

Mrs Skoob working at the moment. I feel like I'm monopolising the message boards. Please feel free to tell me to sit back and shut the fuck up.

Won't be offended.

Best Wishes,

Father Fergus/T.O.S.O.G.

Please ask your father a question.

Is he sending Michael Jackson to the same part of "heaven" where he sends the altar boy lovin' Catholic Priests?

After following this excellent thread I'm convinced that new United "great white hope" FM is JB in disguise!

Just convinced or utterly convinced?

Is it an unshakeable belief or could you be swayed by big swaying things that sway?
