So tickets to Cirque du Soleil’s new show, Varekai, went on sale today for folks in the Bay Area who signed up for their notification list. Oy, getting tickets was painful. Their ticketing vendor’s site (The Canadian branded version of TicketMaster) was swamped, and if you got in, you risked losing your session in the middle of a transaction. (When this happens after you press the “go ahead and charge my card” button, it’s enerviating.) It took several tries, but I have two tickets for a show in January in my bloody primate paws.
