trying to book my tickets to Manchester for that gig thing next week, and the website keeps freezing up. So I called the helpline, and he tried to sell me a ticket for twice the price, saying cheap tickets were sold out. So what happens? Every time a train sells out, do they let you pick your journey and fill out all the tedious credit card forms, just to intentionally crash the transaction at the payment stage because the journey is sold out? what a load of frustrating, idiotic shit.

i am blaming The North for this whole episode.
