buying tickets...

Just called the venue and there was some bargirl who had no idea about how one orders or reserves tickets.
Her suggestion was to call back later in the week when the boss is in!
I suggested that she should think about getting a little more info since this is the mighty 'horse we're talking about, and they're bound to get a fair few calls over the next couple of days...
