Wondering why Kraftwerk was suddenly a trending topic on Twitter earlier today? The band is performing their entire back catalogue at MoMA over the course of eight nights in April, the tickets for their residency — which went on sale at noon — are now completely sold out. Apparently the entire process was a virtual debacle, and plenty of people who were held captive by captcha or kept waiting in a queue for over an hour walked away angry and empty-handed. Not that we’d ever find pleasure in the pain of others, but some really hilarious tweets resulted from their incredible frustration.

Those very surprised by the debacle clearly weren’t in the same virtual queue to buy tickets for 2011 Burning Man… that clusterfuck wasn’t over in an hour, though – it took the whole day.
tried and failed, was in queue for 45 minutes, but did have to ‘work’ so couldn’t hide any longer. sux to whoever got them!
