But the Lincoln Center website SUCKS. I had to struggle with it - here is how
1. I found the page that describes the details of the play, 'The Demons'. On that page is a Link to 'Buy Tickets'. You click and the site croaks with this message (and mind you it took like 3-4 minutes to load this page and that too at like 12.45 am).
2. Okay, so i thought maybe i need to sign in and then it may allow me to buy the ticket. SO i did the mistake of registering. This is what happens - Upon clicking 'submit' the site goes caput ... some internal server error
3. So i try again - this time i told that a user with my email address has already been registered! And i thought step two had failed
4. Okay, so what was to be a 5 min thing has now stretched to 25-30 mins of frustration. Anyways, i move on and login using my email and password.
Great. i am able to do so.
5. So i go back to page about 'The Demons'. Cool. Works. And in excitement that finally i would be able to get the ticket i once again press the 'Buy tickets' link. And .... damn it - its still that same error
I give up - perhaps the center doesnt want these tickets to be sold till very late. And mind you the minimum price for a ticket is $175 (yes, $175 for the 12 hr play with lunch, dinner and a ferry ride to Governors Island). Now i am willing to pay that much i EXPECT better online experience.
Why cant these organizations get it. World class and world famous to performing arts but a website that SUCKS... big time. So much so that i am blogging about it at 3.41 am !!
Anyways, as for the play - its based on the book 'The Demons' by Dystoyvesky (i am sure that is not spelled correctly!)
