Last Thursday while reading away's blog about the Xmas banquet, I went ahead and clicked on the 'get your tickets online' link. I went through and submitted my information, placed one ticket order, then got redirected to a Paypal secured site to submit the rest of my credit card information. I thought I'd go back and buy another ticket for my sweetie. Then I decided to call her and make sure she hasn't bought the ticket.

After talking to her about it and seeing that there are back to back parties that weekend (Sands company party) I decided to go ahead and purchase the tickets. Somehow at this point I never went ahead and completely finished the order.

The weekend rolled by and after service on Sunday I approached the Xmas banquet ticket booth but didn't have enough cash on hand to buy two tickets. I talked to one person at the booth about ordering them online before midnight on Sunday and he enthusiastically said, "yes you can." At around 11:00pm Sunday night when I tried the Xmas banquet link I got this: "Tickets are sold out". I was really looking forward to going, too.
