Arctic Monkeys - ticket lottery, Warner Brothers

LotteryWhat do you think of this?

Tickets for the Arctic Monkeys' upcoming U.K. dates will be distributed on a lottery basis to those fans who have already registered their interest online. Through the project, which is hosted at the alternative rockers' official Web site, gig-goers can register for only one date and one venue for the band's mid-size venue national tour.

Successful applicants will be randomly selected by a computer, and served tomorrow (March 16) with a personal PIN code with which to purchase a ticket.

The system, according to a statement posted on the Arctic Monkey's site, allows "everyone to have the best and equal chance" to get tickets....[Billboard]

In other news, The Arctic Monkeys are working with Warner Brothers on their new album, and touring the U.S.

Anyone have the password for the presale or is it by this personal pin system?

Password is brainstorm, not brianstorm which it says on the fan site.

Wait a second, if you "win" the lottery, you have to see the Artic Monkeys? How is that winning?

Well it was brainstorm when I got my tickets but seemingly they then changed it.

Ticketmaster messing something up? Who'd have thought it. I guess that's how they justify the 33% booking fee they whack on top.
