Year #4 Down the Tubes
I said I wasn't going to try again yet couldn't help myself. After four unsuccessful attempts, now I REALLY give up.
Unfortunately we were unable to comply with your order for the Vienna Philharmonic's New Year's Concert.
Orders for tickets far exceeded the number of tickets available. Therefore, their allocation was decided by electronically drawing lots and your application unfortunately was not selected.
Yours faithfully, The Vienna Philharmonic
Faithfully, my ass.
Cindy

Well, damn. Don't give up, though. One of these years you're bound to land in the lucky bunch.

I didn't forget at all. Just don't want to get my hopes up, though my birthday IS at the end of this month :-)

Nope, I heard from several people who tried to get you tickets without success. I'm a little skeptical about this whole lottery thing, myself. I think it's fixed.

That's what I said way back when. That lottery thing just ain't fair play.

I had the worst luck with Nine Inch nails tickets, too. Even though I had presale chances and I was there when they went on sale, it didn't matter a whit.

Well, I put my hat in the ring for the Green Card lottery - what are my chances in that one :-)
