Kennedy Center's Virtual Waiting Room?!

Epic fail on the part of DC's art scene. I just want to take my Goddaughter to go see Wicked in June at the Kennedy Center.

Last time the show sold out in minutes. This time I do all the right things - even set a reminder to go online when they first become available. So much for "by the book!"

This is what I get when I visit the Kennedy Center site:



Virtual Waiting Room! Are you kidding me?! Over 1500 people in line! It really is true - nice guys...rule abiding guys finish last!

This is why DC frustrates me - they try to capture the arts by bringing a little NY or LA to town, but they can't handle it. Even the web servers weren't up to the role. Get the hook DC!

Even the Post is already reporting this fiasco: http://goo.gl/u45ls

Elphaba would be very displeased. I really don't want to have to pay ridiculous prices to see this show. I have a feeling I have no choice. No thanks to the Kennedy Center!
